So I want to introduce an old blind cartomancer. Like not even the gimmick. His eyes when open are hallowed out. Was going to make him bald but have 3 eyes tattooed on him. One one his forehead, one on the palm of each hand.
Here is where I am torn. I want him to be blind but I want him to be able to see as well either via blindsight or blind sense. Was going to have the tattoos grant this.

You could give them the Mutant Eye magic trait, which gives you a literal third eye on your forehead... of course, this eye would remain closed, and have an open eye tattooed over its eyelids.
From here, you could just give them something like the Blinded Blade Style/Blinded Master feat chain... even as bonus feats, if you want.
I am too lazy to research magic items or tattoos or permenant spells that may grant these effects right meow, but I may look into later.

Hand's Sight might give you what you want. Blinded Master does grant blindsight but it's a fairly huge feat investment and will RAW only work during combat as you can't enter a style outside of it (yes, dumb).
Demonic Implants are permenant, and could be put in place of the Mutant Eye on your forehead...

Between these and the aforementioned Possessed Hand/Hand's Sight feat(s), you could probably make it work. I'm sure there are more ways to do it, but I'm lazy.
I went with child of Yog Soggoth template and the blind chain.
