* ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive'': Slaves get a pair of glyphs branded on their forehead (though more cooperative slaves can get them tattooed instead). These glyphs say when and where the person was made a slave. Slaves deemed dangerous get a third glyph, ''shash'', which means "dangerous". These are rare; most slaves who earn a ''shash'' glyph are just executed.
** Freed slaves have these brands tattooed over with the glyphs for "freedom", along with smaller glyphs stating when they were freed and by whom.

** The Gorgon Sisters were another group of former slaves freed by Fisher Tiger. Upon returning to their homeland in Amazaon Lily, the trio took great pains to hide their slave mark, claiming they had been cursed by a Gorgon and that anyone who saw the eye of the gorgon on their backs would be petrified. They also claimed that the Gorgon curse was the source of their abilities, since most of the Kuja tribe don't know about Devil Fruits, which the sisters were force-fed for the entertainment of the Celestial Dragons.

Presumably she still bears it on her back in the present.

** Slaves are branded with a mark that can be used to cause them pain if they try to disobey a direct order from their master. This effect isn't absolute, as Naofumi notices that Raphtalia has been learning what she can and can't get away with. Naofumi's particular abilities allow him to give powerful bonuses in growth to anyone branded as his slave, which gives him reason to keep them branded [[HappinessInSlavery even if they come to follow him willingly]].
