Ok so there's a bit of a background here that might be a bit spoiler but in canon, V's strength is that of a very sick human. He has a limp, and visibly gets more and more thin and gray and weak during the game until near the end. The tattoos are marks of the contracts V makes with his three nightmares (giant bird, giant cat and a black humanoid ooze) giving them an anchor in the world and also so he can call upon their aid for fighting demons. When he calls them, they take on a physical form to deal damage while he stands back until their foes grow weak enough for him to deal a final blow. So while they do have a physical body they aren't always hanging around physically. They often are dormant until needed but both the bird and cat do appear off and on just hanging around while he's waiting for Nero or Nico to catch up.

But O can see how they can be alters. They are representations of nightmares that were formed and a part of him in a way ( there's a huge spoiler as how that came about ) and during one point in the game they were stripped from him, and the tats all disappeared with them so yeah.
