If you're thinking of Darth Maul, that was his face because he was a Zabrak and they sport facial tattoos. Facial tattoos aren't a necessary feature of the Sith.

Are they tattoos? I thought Dathomiri Zabrak just had skin spot patterns?

From wookiepedia:

Physical characteristics

Distinctions

Vestigial horns,[1] two hearts,[3] facial tattoos

Elsewhere

The majority of Zabraks wore facial tattoos which often indicated familial ties, but could also simply be based on an individual's personal taste.

In one of the books it talks about him earning the tattoos. I think they were related to sith alchemy or rituals but were fairly niche among the sith. Palpetine was a weird one even for the sith it seems.
