{{examples}}

== Anime and Manga ==

* The Sekirei crests, located on the upper back, in ''[[Sekirei]]''

** Kyuubi's seal may also count.

* In ''[[King of Thorn]]'', Marco Owen is a [[Tattooed Crook]] to begin with, but one in particular marks his upgrade from [[Badass Normal]] to [[Badass Abnormal]]: {{spoiler|when Alice alters his body so that he'll stand a chance against Zeus, he gains a large tattoo on his chest resembling the anarchy symbol}}.

** {{spoiler|Alma Karma too. Apparently, all of the Second Exorcists did. Or would have, anyway.}}

* ''[[Lyrical Nanoha|Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force]]'' has the Huckebein, all of whom possess a tattoo on their body to identify their Eclipse infection. Cypha, for example, has one on the left side of her neck. As Tohma shows, these turn into [[Marked Change]] [[Super-Powered Evil Side|when the Eclipse goes out of control]].

* Negi from ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' gets these when he initially activates his [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique|Magia Erebea]]

* Brain from ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' has these and act as a [[Power Limiter]] sort of.

* In ''[[Tokko]]'' people with [[Powers Via Possession|phantoms]] inside them develop tribal-looking tattoos when they first awaken their powers.

* Ai from ''[[Dragon Crisis]]'' has red markings on her right shoulder caused by the [[Transformation Trinket|Lost Precious]] inside her body.

 

 

* The various manifestations of the Sigil in ''[[Cross Gen]] Comics''.

* ''[[Green Lantern]]'' villain the Tattooed Man (both of them) takes it a step further. His power is making his tattoos spring off his body and come to life.

** Dex, a background character, seemingly spontaneously develops [[Summon Magic]] in one story arc. Other characters realize the power was actually bestowed on him by an Immortal when they see that he has a marking like Susan's, in the shape of a fairy on his chest.

** Later we find out that {{spoiler|Justin}} has a tattoo that makes him stronger, and {{spoiler|Rhoda}} has one that lets her make things bigger. Both characters are unaware of the tattoos or the powers.

** Also "Combustion Man" fires powerful beams from his third-eye tattoo.
