I think the tattos are the same.That is because Zell is Ulti´s grandson.

That is the tattoo of the SeeD (SorcErEss Dinasty).

SeeD heritage is as follows:

Seifer et Almasie (Seifer D'Almasy) marries Ultimedea and gives birth to Ellone Rinva.
Ellone Rinva marries Sqvall giving birth to Zell
Zell marries Qvistix giving birth to Sophie
Sophie marries Irvine.

This 8 persons form SeeD.
This is a codename given by the Garden´special students but no one knows its real meaning.

Zell could be indeed a true descendant of Ultimecia in blood. His tattoos must be genetically related because Ultimecia has the tattoos as well. So, she re-produced Zell, and that's how he's got her tattoos inherited. But what about Adel?

EDIT- Almost all the beings in VIII don't have tattoos. Only Zell, Adel and Ultimecia do.

[Future Esthar]

Tattoos aren´t acquired genetically.
It is a symbol of SeeD.

Adel is easily explained.

I theorize that SeeD (and "white SeeD") has these powers because they are alien beings known as Propagators.
They ruled Centra but camed from another planet.
Propagators are the monsters Squall and Rinoa fought on the airship on outer space.
These monsters have the ability of acting as a single entity and can physically become one through some artificial processes.This technology exists somewhere on the Galbadia prison.
This single entity is Adel.
if you look at Adel you will see that he resembles Squall (on space),Zell(FMV beggining fight),Seifer (same) and Irvine(Through the long pushair).The girls resemblance are difficult to see but are easily spotted through the clothes.

The car license's code and the code on Raine's tomestone. Does they have something to do with the reentry code at the Ragnarok? To activate the Propagators ...

I'm sure there are more codes in the game.

That is true. I'm shocked.

Says who?

Adel is easily explained.

Then do so.

I think your tin hat might be on a little too tightly once again.

Your evidence for this is what, exactly?

Propagators are the monsters Squall and Rinoa fought on the airship on outer space.

Yes, some of us were actually paying attention when we played the game.

These monsters have the ability of acting as a single entity

Um, noooo... These monsters have the ability to revive each other unless they are killed in their colored pairs, that is not the same thing.

and can physically become one through some artificial processes.

Since when?

This technology exists somewhere on the Galbadia prison.

Really? Where? Why has no one else ever noticed this gestalt technology there?

This single entity is Adel.

Um, says who?

if you look at Adel you will see that he resembles Squall (on space),Zell(FMV beggining fight),Seifer (same) and Irvine(Through the long pushair).The girls resemblance are difficult to see but are easily spotted through the clothes.

You're arguing that Adel is the same entity as the entire rest of the cast because of "long hair", and "clothes"? Oh no, I have two eyes! Adel does too! I must be part of Adel!

[The Last Oath]

Maybe, just maybe...like 1/10000000 chance, Zell simply wanted a tattoo on his face.

I know I might not be quite right, but I believe Zell didn't have the tattoo in the orphanage flashbacks...

Tattoos are inherited in much the same way a family object or a tale is passed through generations.
