Star Wars' Sith tattoos originally had an important purpose.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Star Wars fans are well aware that certain styles of tattoos are prevalent in many different cultures associated with the dark side and the Sith, especially during the days of Star Wars' Old Republic, and even a significant stretch before then. While the significance has become greatly muddled and virtually forgotten over the years, Sith tattoos originally had a very specific and important purpose.
During the more recent years of Star Wars lore , a Sith has seemingly come to mean a ‘fallen Jedi’. Count Dooku was a Jedi who fell to the dark side and became Darth Tyrannus, Asajj Ventress was a Jedi turned Sith apprentice, Anakin Skywalker was a Jedi who became the infamous Darth Vader, and even Baylan Skoll was a Jedi before his villainous turn .
Tattoos Were Used To Crown The Dark Lords of the Sith In Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi - The Golden Age of the Sith #4 by Kevin J. Anderson and Dario Carrasco, Jr., the warring Sith have an opportunity to become stronger than ever by uniting against the common threat of the Republic, resulting in the crowning of a new Dark Lord of the Sith. The opening pages of this comic depicts the new Sith Lord, Naga Sadow, receiving their badge of power in the form of a face tattoo.
This wouldn’t be the last time tattoos were used by the Sith to indicate levels of power. In fact, Darth Krayt of the Star Wars Legacy era was a major proponent of the practice, having a number of tattoos himself. However, it’s obvious that the meaning of the tattoos were greatly lost between the times of the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War, which is when most Star Wars stories take place, and the vast majority of the established canon is focused on.
Interestingly enough, the title of ‘Darth’ in Sith culture saw the opposite effect within Star Wars history. ‘Darth’ means Dark Lord of the Sith, acting as both a title and a name, which is commonly followed by the Darth’s new Sith name. In a way, appointing someone as ‘Darth’ almost replaced the need for them to get a tattoo, as both technically mean ‘Dark Lord of the Sith’, even if that moniker, too, has become a bit more broad since the days of the Sith Empire.
