Yeah, I think that he thought that having black skin as an Apostle Lord was the default, but apparently it's probably not.

So...he likely gave away his blessing via that (as was stated by someone else, their skin color is probably based on their primary blessing(s), since it seems unlikely that they would be a species that doesn't have blessings). Either way, she definitely knew right away...but we don't know HOW she knew.

As for the tattoos...the speculation is that it's a side effect of the [**** of Kin] ability he learns on Day 49 or 50...because it's right after that that people started getting the tattoos. Kichi, who evolves just a few days before he gets that ability iirc, doesn't get the tattoos until he evolves again into a Minotaur.

It's hard to say it definitively, but based on the timing when they start appearing and their power and all that, it does seem to be that ability which is likely the cause of the tattoos appearing.
