Disguising

‘Some preferred not to be seen at all, to cloak themselves in shadow and darkness. I realized that it is not such a bad thing to be seen, as long as you do not stand out and are quickly forgotten. I specialized in blending in, not drawing attention and looking like I had every right to be there. It is invisibility, but of another kind.’ - Leliana, Dragon Age: Origins.

That is Tyson’s preferred way to hide and disguise himself. As mentioned when talking about how he uses social media, Tyson will go out of his way to make sure that he’s seen in the most non-suspicious way possible rather than dropping off the map entirely.

At times that means dropping into a confident soldier’s gait and using that to bypass anymore who might call him out, or it can mean purposefully calling attention to himself in an ordinary way: dying his hair bright colours with an easy to wash out vegetable dye, that way people assume the only thing that makes him stand out is that blue hair and otherwise dismiss him.

In more general terms, he’s often disguising himself by making people underestimate him. Tyson has absolutely no poker face at all, but he is good at hiding his actions with slight of hand tricks and making sure his nervous ticks are concealed from direct view.

Tyson is pretty good at applying make-up, but - with the exceptions of corruption!verse, redemption!verse and mythical!verse where he needs to conceal his tattoos on missions - he prefers not to apply it to himself more than necessary, due to having sensitive skin that dries up rather easily; and a shaky sense of his own masculinity, and self-worth therein.
