For USPSA, see Appendix D4 and E4 for allowed and prohibited areas.
For IDPA, see ppg 19-20 and HQ IDPA rulings and interpretations. It should be noted that IDPA severely restricts stippling and checkering but is more free with tape use. Basically, you cannot stipple the frame in IDPA/SSP, but can do the removable grip. You can put tape on the part of the frame you grip.

Part of the stippling shown in the OP (such as controls, buttons, levers, ) is not allowed in either USPSA or IDPA.

If I'm not mistaken, stippling on the rear removable grip is acceptable for IDPA/SSP. However, permanent alternations to the frame would make it illegal for IDPA/SSP. That said, your good to go in IDPA/ESP with whatever stippling you have anywhere on the pistol.
