You'll have to be careful if the tiles have soft "biscuit",
anything that stains will get into it and spoil the tile.

Not sure what you mean by that Chris? They are for all intents and
purpose ordinary ceramic tiles AFAIK.

I think he means the unglazed backs might be absorbent

That's it, the tile material is called "biscuit", on some
cheap (Italian and other) tiles if you mark it with a pen
you can get trouble. More expensive ones tend to be impervious.
