You needn't worry about "Beg". It is a surname virtually unknown to me (an American), and so does not invoke the connotation you fear, despite its meaning in vernacular English. I would see it and assume nothing more than a foreign (to me) heritage, which would have no negative reflection at all. I would in fact regard it interesting and intriguing.

If you're troubled by "Beg", you would do very well, I think, to adopt a one-word professional name, and sign your work as, "Tarique". We should all wish to have such an exotic and unusual name in our market. (See "Margaret" Baumgaertner's recent post, re the Cindi-Peggy-Bunny clash.)
