I forgot about the tattoo appearing when the glove dissapeared, but still:

The one who explained the Silver Eyes was Qrow, who explained them to Ruby, who didn't know anything about the Maidens.

Its possible that the Silver Eyes affect the Maidens like they affect the Grimm. Probably in different ways.
