Mar 3, 2017 at 17:11 comment added Mohan @gbp No, you can not have a triple point. Consider the projection from the triple point, which gives a birational map to the plane. If $\Gamma$ is its graph, then, using the hypothesis, you can show that the projection to the plane from $\Gamma$ is an isomorphism, by showing that the map must be quasi-finite (since any curve contracted must be a line in the quartic, and there are no lines in the quartic) and then appealing to Zariski's Main Theorem . Then you have a birational morphism from the plane to the quartic, which is absurd. I do not know tacnodes which are UFDs, but not sure.
