Why did Itachi have bags under his eyes? He had them since he was young? Was it to show no one is perfect?

It couldn't be because he was ill, there were other ill characters in the series.

Maybe because he's sick.

Doesn't really look like bags tbh, I have legitimate bags under my eyes, his are just stripes, they look more like a minor scar IMO.

But face it, he was always training, and when he turned a criminal I doubt he had sufficient time to sleep.
He overexerts himself too much.

He had them slightly as a child, but they got larger as he grew older. I doubt they have anything to do with his illness, just facial features.

I have them too and I'm not sick. So that's why I'm asking. I'm pretty sure they're bags and not scars lol.

True, I wonder if it was a symbolic way of showing his depth of knowledge, making him seem older than he truly was

Kishi just wanted to draw him so. Don't think too much.

Itachi
You must be registered for see images

Itachi has tear-troughs under his eyes because of the stress of defending the 'world' from 'evil' harm, pain & other things.
Itachi has tear-troughs so he most likely cried a lot on the inside (depression) or when he was alone he cried a lot on the outside.
the weight of the Konoha 'world' & the Uchiha was on his shoulders. He was torn between them forever. He had the reasoning of Hokage at age 7 , traumatized at age 4, he obviously been thinking about protecting his 'home' most of his life. A duty he took upon himself.

L has darkness under his eyes because of the stress he has for protecting the world & solving every case he can get his hands on which is never-ending. A duty he took upon himself.

Read somewhere that the Akatsuki were originally based on monsters.

Itachi was based on the the Tengu.

The lines on Itachi's face make gives him an almost beak-like appearance. And being based on Tengu somewhat explains the bird motif Itachi has.
