The tattoo and resulting eye marking is creeping on Boruto's face the panel before his eye activates, it even has its own sizzle sound effect to illustrate the fact that its spreading. Kawaki also has the same marking on his eye but both his eyes are ordinary. Logically if the weird eye is the result of the tattoo (Or Sage Transformation as you theorize the tattoos to be) he would also have a Byakugan-esque look to his left eye to mirror Boruto's right eye.

Besides siblings and family members have odd dichotomy between kekkei genkai all the time. Look at Haguromo's Rinnengan to Hamura's Tenseigan or Sasuke's Kagatsuchi and Amaterasu to Itachi Tsukiyomi and Amaterasu or even Sasuke's single tomoe'd Rinnengan to Madara's double Rinnengan. The fact that Himawari's Byakugan is already unique among the Hyuga and Otsutsuki's should prepare us for the fact that weird shit might happen with Boruto's too.
