So I was just going to recruit Jack in my recent playthrough and notced the Blue Sun Warden-dude of the Purgatory mentions being from Palaven but he clearly doesn't have the same facial markings as Garrus. I should have taken a screenshot of him.. hmm..
I'm probably totally wrong here but maybe there are different sections of Palaven that have different markings? Or maybe they just wanted to keep Garrus' markings unique...

You're welcome

As I understand it, Palaven is the name of the Turian homeworld which is home to the turian heirarchy. Before becoming a part of the council, the turians had branched out to several colonies on different worlds which eventually began to isolate themselves from the heirarchy and war amoungst eachother. The different colonies began decorating themselves with emblems to identify themselves as belonging to their respective colony.
During this war (later named the Unification War), the heirarchy more or less let the colonies "war themselves out" untill they were too weak to put up a fight before moving in, forcing the end of the wars and a renewed loyalty to the heirarchy.
Though peace was restored, it took several decades for animosity between colonists to fade completely. To this day, most turians still wear the facial markings of their home colonies.

So, in essence, just because two turians grew up in Palaven, they would not necessarily have the same markings, it would really depend on the colony their ancestors were from.
At least, that's what I'm led to believe.
