I was thinking of doing this ,Mosesarose.But I'm too lazy so thanks!
Anyway I'm not sure what those tatoos are supposed to be ...but I'll give it a try.
The first one with the Blonde guy : Looks like a bird on his forehead ,I'd go with Dirthamen , Keeper of Secrets.(He had birds in his story)
The second don't know.
The third June.
The fourth ...it's obviously a tree on his face , I think it could be Mythal.
The last one maybe Ghilan' nain (if it's a halla horn )
See this is why BW needs to tell us. I want the tattoo that represents Dirthamen and going by my prediction and comparing them with yours, I'll end up with a halla horn on my face.
Okay as I said before it seems to be renditions of the same tattoos from Origins in Inquisition. I gathered up screens for the ones that have already been shown. I want to see what you guys think.
Spoiler
This one is one we've seen alot. As the last one your guess is as good as mine. I'll say Dirthamen, just because the design reminds me of a key hole and Dirthamen is the keeper of secrets. So any way tell me what you guys think. This isn't all of the Vallaslin from the look of the vids, I think there's more.
First off, thanks for putting this together. Now let's see...
I thought the first one was Andruil because it looks like bird and she is associated with hawks, but as Reznore57 pointed out, Dirthamen is also associated with birds, so now I'm not so sure... 
Someone recently convinced me that the second looks like the head of a halla, so I'm going to go with Ghilan'nain...
The third... I think that's June because of the similar lines on the sides of the cheek. The old, less intricate design had this pattern, and both are curved lines that meet in the forehead. So I'll go with that. (which is kind of unfortunate, since that's the Creator my Dalish Inquisitor was going to represent... maybe I'll rethink that.)
The fourth is clearly a tree, representing Mythal. I don't see much room for interpretation there.
As for the last one... no idea. It looks like a vine, but that's a bit too obscure for me to get any meaning from...

Well I'm not sure it's a halla Horn!
Anyway the Dalish tatoos meanings have always been fan speculation.
I agree it would be really cool if we could get a comment about this.
The symbols are definitely religious in nature. The Dalish also pretty clearly force conformity to the particular clans religious and cultural views. Merrill was exiled for having a different opinion on the role of the Dalish vis a vis reserving lore from her keeper. There's clearly no support for atheism in any clan.
Merrill was not exiled. She chose to leave. The Keeper herself wanted Merrill to stay. Her clan disagreed with her use of blood magic and demon dealing, but she was not forced to leave by any means.
See you both say June for the third, but I think it resemble this Mythal tattoo from origins
I feel like the forehead pattern in the lip pattern are give aways. Man this is so hard

Yeah I know, but the fan speculation is the closes thing we have.
@ mosesarose - Mythal is a tree though... the 4th one looks very much like a tree, so I think that one is Mythal. Look at the June vallaslin and check out the designs on the cheeks... it's very similar to this new one.

Look at June , it's the same design on the side of the head , and there's also the pattern forming on the forehead.
You know, as tricky as some of these are, it's nice that we can clearly see the Creators in some of them... 
I was really worried that traditional vallaslin had been replaced by abstract artistic designs.

Ah okay, I can see the patterns on the forehead and the sides of the face now. I wish I would have looked at the pics side by side before guessing.
The irritating thing is that the artists must have had a design brief for vallaslin. For ages the only we saw was the eye squiggle so I was becoming convinced that the idea of relating facial tattoos to the Creators had been thrown out and only elf tattoos inspired by nature remained but looking at these there's obviously similarity to the old designs so I'm becoming annoyed at BW for not sharing the information.
The first one could be Sylaise, there's a similarity in the forehead -a fire contained like a campfire/hearth.
Maybe we could pm or tweet Matt Rhodes?
I don't really like bothering the devs , and they may be busy but well ...I'd like to know.

Would this person actually tell us though? I'm sure the devs have noticed this thread, and they could have said something at any point if they wanted to...

he has responded to questions in the past
Done.
Thanks Kallen (Kouzuki/Stadtfeld -this is a long name ^^) !
Here you all go:
@MattRhodesArt Some people on the BSN were wondering what each Vallaslin represents specifically. Can you answer that for them please?
@User I can! (but on Tuesday, this weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving)

Canadians have Thanksgiving?
Yep! Middle of October, a little earlier than American Thanksgiving.

I'm somewhat aware that we have it but I never recall when it is or what it's about. On Topic I'd rather not know actually, cause what if the one I prefer has a lame meaning that doesn't fit my character ?

No. The Keeper wanted Merrill to say and give up her mission. Merrill didn't have a choice to stay and research the Eluvian.
Canadians have Thanksgiving?
Yes, we do. It's awesome (and early).

Wtf? I mean, that's cool and all, but we've been wondering about this for weeks and all we had to do was just ask this guy? 
Well, at least I can stop straining my brain trying to figure this out...
