| 12 | -> '''Deral:''' I was admiring... your markings. Are they decorative?\ |
| 13 | '''Jadzia:''' No. Are yours?\ |
| 14 | '''Deral:''' No. If you don't mind me asking... how far down do they go?\ |
| 15 | '''Jadzia:''' All the way. |
| 16 | -->-- ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'', "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS03E08Meridian Meridian]]" |

| 18 | This trope is about characters with some sort of writing, markings, symbols or pictures on their naughtier bits, whether written on their clothes or displayed on their bare skin. This is often used as a SexSells tactic to deliberately draw attention to the said area, especially if paired with MaleGaze, FemaleGaze, or clothing such as bikinis or thongs. Some clothes designers intentionally put their logo here, or sell clothes with attention-grabbing marks as an advertising gimmick. ("Snorg Tees" is particularly JustForFun/{{egregious}} about this.) |
| 19 | |
| 20 | For the purposes of this trope, the qualifying areas are the chest (on women), the crotch and inner thigh, and the buttocks. Marks found on other areas, such as shapely legs, bared midriffs or a bare back do not count. Marks just shy of these areas (''just'' above the breast, buttocks, or crotch) are passable, though. |

| 31 | [[folder:Advertising]] |
| 32 | * The bar and grill chain Hooters makes sure the "O"s of the HOOTERS logo on their waitresses' shirts are placed in their chests, to [[SexSells draw people's eyes there]]. |
| 33 | * Snorg Tees abuses this in all of its online advertisements, combined with GirlGamer to really drive the boys crazy. |
| 34 | * One late 1990s-early 2000s print ad for Winston cigarettes shows a picture of a woman with the caption "Yeah, I got a tattoo. And no, you can't see it." |
| 35 | [[/folder]] |
| 36 | |
| 37 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 38 | * In ''Manga/AsukaHybrid'', while Asuka is gathering clues to track down the mysterious mage that [[GenderBender turned him into a girl]], he makes note of the rune-like symbols that were just above her crotch. While the main reason he remembers it is because said mage [[LivingCrashpad landed on top of him]] and gave him an awkward view of the area, Yayoi assumes [[AllMenArePerverts the wrong idea for why he'd be paying enough attention to remember it so clearly]]. |
| 39 | * ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'': Casca's [[MarkOfTheBeast Brand of Sacrifice]] is just above her left breast. The nature of the series means she appears naked with some regularity, so it's often seen (especially since its starting to bleed means demons are approaching). Notably, Guts has ''his'' Brand on the back of his neck, not requiring any excess exposure to view it. |
| 40 | * ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': |
| 41 | ** Rangiku Matsumoto puts her PowerLimiter marking right on the inside of her breasts, which is visible due to how low-cut her robe is. |
| 42 | ** Tier Harribel's "3" tattoo is on her right breast and is only visible when she removes her jacket. Szayelaporro's "8" tattoo is apparently in his groin. |
| 43 | * Invoked and subverted in ''Manga/CatsEye'', when the police officers investigating the titular female thieves receive information that one of them has a birthmark on her inner thigh, allowing them to identify her by checking all women near the painting they know Cat's Eye is targeting... Or it would be, as the informant was a disguised member of Cat's Eye, [[AccidentalPervert who tricked the detectives into looking under women's skirts]] and get arrested for sexual harassment by the local precinct while the thieves can waltz through the surveillance in the confusion. |
| 44 | * ''Manga/CityHunter'': One case involves a young woman being repeatedly harassed by men trying to see down her cleavage. Turns out they're not perverts (entirely), the woman they're looking for has a birthmark on one of her breasts. |
| 45 | * In ''Manhwa/DragonHunter'', Seur-Chong threatens to spread around that a priestess has a mole on her breast if she refuses him payment (her own fault really, she's [[PublicBathhouseScene in the bath]] while negotiating with him). |
| 46 | * Ayaka from the OVA of ''Anime/FatePrototype'' is seen to have her Command Seals right in between her boobs. |
| 47 | * ''Anime/ElHazardTheMagnificentWorld'': Both [[PersonOfMassDestruction Ifurita]] and [[ApocalypseMaiden Kalia's]] activation modules are located directly above the cleft of their buttocks. Each must be inserted with a keystaff to turn them on, and it's [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything every bit as suggestive as it sounds]]. |
| 48 | * In ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', Lust has her ouroboros mark just above her cleavage. This proves frustrating for her when she's trying to seduce information out of [[spoiler:Havoc]]. Since he knows what the mark means, she has to keep her chest covered at all times, which sharply limits her options. |
| 49 | * ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'': Mikuru Asahina has a star-shaped mole on her right breast. This even becomes a means for Mikuru to prove her identity to Kyon when [[spoiler:he first meets her future self]]. |
| 50 | * In one of the ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' Christmas events, it's briefly mentioned that Monaco has a mole on her chest when all the nations are frantically hunting for an important mark on one of their bodies (the mole isn't it, and she asks France not to shout about it to the entire world). |
| 51 | * ''Manga/{{Kodocha}}'': Sana has three moles in a line on her butt, much to her embarrassment. (Though knowledge of this is how [[spoiler: her birth mother proves her identity]].) |
| 52 | * The [[HumongousMecha Vox]] pilots in ''Anime/LagrangeTheFlowerOfRinne'' use marks called Memoria to interact with their mecha. Some of them though are in questionable places, to say the least: Madoka's is on her butt, Lan's is somewhere on her breasts, and Muginami's is just above her crotch. It's further implied that these are created based on where the Vox touches them. |
| 53 | * BrattyHalfPint Sarah in ''Manga/LoveHina'' has a birthmark on her rear end she's extremely embarrassed about. Once Keitaro finds out, he's able to blackmail her into behaving a little better. |
| 54 | * ''Manga/TalesOfWeddingRings'': Krystal receives a magical tattoo around her belly button that is supposed to [[FantasyContraception prevent pregnancy]]. It's only after she almost had sex that her sister tells her that the seal is only about seventy percent effective; if there was a perfect contraceptive spell out there, everyone would use it. She didn't warn them before [[TheGadfly because she thought it would be funny]]. |
| 55 | * Subverted for comedic purposes in ''Anime/ThoseWhoHuntElves''; despite the main characters' enthusiasm in stripping elves naked, it's a RunningGag that every single one of the marks they're looking for appears on a spot that wouldn't be covered by clothes anyway. |
| 56 | * The five girls of ''Manga/TokyoMewMew'' all have small marks on their bodies showing their connection to the animal they represent. While Buling has hers on her forehead, Zakuro around her belly button, and Minto on her back, the other two have them in very intimate places. Ichigo's is on her inner right thigh--which she's very embarrassed by when Ryou [[AccidentalPervert lifts her skirt to show her]], and Retasu's is on her upper chest. |
| 57 | * ''Literature/UndefeatedBahamutChronicle'': Early in the story, [[WarriorPrincess Liseharte Atismata]] reveals she was captured by Imperial loyalists and branded with the Arcadia symbol [[https://i.pinimg.com/736x/40/f8/9c/40f89c8740d267a4f09a1c18b109454b--google-search.jpg near her groin]]. |

| 59 | |
| 60 | [[folder:Comedy]] |
| 61 | * French comedians Pierre Dac and Francis Blanche had a skit where the latter plays a seer. At some point the seer mentions some man in the audience has a tattoo "in a place honesty and decency prevent me from further specifying", before elaborating on what the tattoo depicts "when in appropriate mood". |

| 64 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 65 | * Comic book superheroines have some notable examples of [[BroughtToYouByTheLetterS their insignias]] being on {{fanservice}}y areas). |
| 66 | * ''ComicBook/DangerGirl'': Sydney Savage has a birthmark on her breast which is often visible thanks to her SpyCatsuit having a NavelDeepNeckline. |
| 67 | * ''ComicBook/TheDarkKnightStrikesAgain'' features a woman with the Superman logo stamped across her ass. |
| 68 | * ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'': Ninjette wears short shorts with her name across the rear. |
| 69 | * ''ComicBook/HarleyQuinn'': In ''ComicBook/HarleyQuinnNew52'', after being abducted and knocked out by Red Tool, Harley wakes up with a red hammer and Red Tool's phone number tattooed on her ass. Harley, needless to say, is pissed at this turn of events. |
| 70 | * ''ComicBook/PowerGirl'': Played straight and averted with Power Girl, whose breasts (and costume drawing attention to them) are her most famous feature, in-universe and out. Averted by one telling of the "boob window" and its origin, that she couldn't think of a symbol to match Superman's. |
| 71 | * ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'': According to Espio, Sally Acorn has a royal birthmark somewhere. He never said ''where'' but the [reluctant] mere mention of it existing has Sally [[ThroughAFaceFullOfFur blush in embarrassment]], leading her to drop the subject. |
| 72 | * ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'': Supergirl tends to invite this trope, since her "S" insignia is right on her chest (although, she ''is'' a DistaffCounterpart of ComicBook/{{Superman}}), but her '70s costume was the worst offender, since the S was small, located on her left breast, and situated next to an extremely low neckline. |
| 73 | * ''ComicBook/SwampThing'': [[Characters/{{Hellblazer}} John Constantine]] has a tree tattooed on his ass, but it's not entirely clear he's aware of it -- Swamp Thing put it there when he possessed Constantine in order to father a child with his girlfriend Abby. |
| 74 | * ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'': The villain Cheshire was originally drawn with a pink lotus tattoo above her breast. |
| 75 | * ''ComicBook/{{Vampirella}}'' |

She has no such tattoo in the series proper. |
| 77 | ** On the other hand, her [[{{Stripperiffic}} signature costume]] has a V/Bat emblem on the crotch. |
| 78 | * ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'': Wonder Woman is one of the {{Trope Codifier}}s within the {{Superhero}} genre. Her "WW" is in the shape of an eagle which, DependingOnTheArtist, is usually underneath her cleavage. |
| 79 | [[/folder]] |

| 81 | [[folder:Comic Strips]] |
| 82 | * An old ''ComicStrip/BloomCounty'' strip has Opus exchanging personal scandals with his fiancé Lola. She tells him she has two, and that the first one is a tattoo of Dan Fogelberg. He flips out over this, then calms down enough to ask where it is. "That's the other scandal," she replies. |
| 83 | * An old Playboy cartoon has an attractive young lady , just married to a wealthy older man, saying "now that we're married I have something about my past to tell you". Visible on her buttock is a tattoo saying "Property of Hell's Angels" (used by the gang on young girls at the time). |
| 84 | [[/folder]] |
| 85 | |
| 86 | [[folder:Films -- Animation]] |
| 87 | * Although vehicles obviously don't have naughty bits, Sally from ''WesternAnimation/Cars1'' has a "pinstriping tattoo" over her bumper, and she's very embarrassed when Lightning notices. It's clearly an automotive version of a "tramp stamp". |
| 88 | ** Ramone also has a similar tattoo in his undercarriage, which he shows to a horrified couple. |
| 89 | [[/folder]] |

| 91 | [[folder:Films -- Live-Action]] |

| 93 | * In the Italian movie ''[[Film/TheIncredibleArmyOfBrancaleone Brancaleone at the Crusades]]'', the King Raimondo has a huge birthmark on his butt, typical of his clan. His infant son had one too, but the group's witch Tiburzia accidentally washed the mark away with her sorcery. |

| 95 | * In ''Film/CarryOnDick'', the Bow Street Runners learn that the notorious highwayman "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Big Dick]]" Turpin has a distinguishing birthmark on his penis, so Sergeant Jock Strapp starts following men into the lavatory with a magnifying glass to see if he can spot it. |
| 96 | * In ''Film/TheCourtJester'', the Rightful Heir (still an infant) has a BirthmarkOfDestiny on his butt. In the ending, the titular Jester, with the infant in his arms, lowers the swaddling clothes just far enough to reveal the birthmark, to a long line of nobles. |
| 97 | * Captain Tom Dodge in ''Film/DownPeriscope'' has a tattoo of a the words "Welcome Aboard!" [[EmbarrassingTattoo on his junk]]. |
| 98 | * In ''Film/{{Goldeneye}}'', Bond is told he'll know the American agent he'll be working with on a mission, Jack Wade, from a distinctive tattoo he bears. The tattoo turns out to be the word "Muffy" (the name of Jack's ex-wife) tattooed onto one of Jack's buttocks. |
| 99 | * In an ImagineSpot in ''Film/HighFidelity'' Rob imagines his ex-girlfriend Laura with a tattoo of the name of one of his romantic rivals on her ass at the panty line. |

| 104 | * The third (or fourth, depending on which versions you're talking about) ''Manga/LoneWolfAndCub'' movie has a woman who has a tattoo of a demon on most of the left side of her torso, specifically drawn so it looks like it's biting one of her nipples. She uses this as part of her FullFrontalAssault strategy. |

| 108 | * In the movie ''Film/{{Overboard|1987}}'' with Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, he is able to convince the doctors caring for her that he's her husband because he could describe a buttock tattoo he saw when she was wearing a thong bikini. |

| 110 | * ''Film/TheRapture'': Angie, one of the swingers, has a tattoo which goes down her whole back and buttocks, which is seen when she's having sex with a man at an orgy. She apparently got it all in one night, and Angie is quite touchy at being asked questions about this. |

| 125 | [[folder:Literature]] |

| 127 | * In the Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian novella ''Literature/AWitchShallBeBorn'', crescent birthmarks are considered signs of witchcraft, and one of these is the major feature distinguishing Queen Taramis from her evil twin Salome. Said birthmark is right on her chest. |
| 128 | * In Creator/StephenKing's ''Literature/{{Cujo}}'', Donna Trenton has a mole "just above her pubic hair". When she breaks up with her lover, Steve Kemp, Kemp vengefully writes a crude message to her husband, Vic, about how he enjoyed "fucking the shit out of her." He also mentions the mole so Vic would know that the message is true. |
| 129 | * In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' spinoff ''Literature/NannyOggsCookbook'', one illustration has [[DirtyOldWoman Nanny Ogg]] and [[InterspeciesRomance Casanunda]] looking as chastened as a couple of horny teenagers caught making out under the glare of Granny Weatherwax... while Nanny sports a pair of floury hand prints over her breasts. |
| 130 | * Captain Asier in the ''Literature/DreamscapeVoyagerTrilogy'' has a cross-shaped scar over her breasts. |
| 131 | * In Glen Cook's ''Literature/GarrettPI'' series, Garrett knew a guy from his Marine unit who'd gotten his penis tattooed like a serpent, and probably regretted it for the rest of his life. At the time, the guy just figured he'd rather be addressed as "Snakeman" than by his previous nickname, [[EmbarrassingNickname "Donkey Dick"]]. |
| 132 | * Jokingly implied (but probably not true) with Ron in ''Franchise/HarryPotter'', when Ginny talks about how she told a girl that Harry has a Hungarian Horntail dragon tattooed on his chest. Harry asks Ginny if she said something about any tattoos on Ron, and she replies, "a Pygmy Puff, but I didn't say where." |
| 133 | * In ''Literature/ProvenGuilty'', Harry comments ambiguously that Molly's neck tattoo "went all the way down" to her navel. He doesn't actually say whether it covers her cleavage, but {{Fanon}} claims that it does nonetheless. |

| 140 | * In one episode of ''Series/BadJudge'' the defendant is being sued for mooning someone and as evidence his lawyer presents a picture of his buttock covered with a massive tattoo that the plaintiff didn't remember seeing. Rebecca requests that he drop his pants and show it, and he finds it painful just to stand up, which she takes to mean he just got his butt inked to tamper with the "evidence." |
| 141 | * In ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' Penny apparently has a Chinese character tattooed on her right buttock. It is either for "Courage" or "soup" depending on whether you believe her or Sheldon. |
| 142 | * ''Series/BirdsOfAFeather'': "Tattoo You" reveals that Sharon has, unbeknownst to her, had a tattoo of Norman Parker inside her butt for about 40 years.

| 143 | * Cordelia from ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' and ''Series/{{Angel}}'' has a tattoo on her back, right above her rear. It's the actress's real tattoo, but we've seen it onscreen on the shows a few times. |

| 148 | * Played with in ''Series/TheGoodWife'', a woman who claims to have had an affair with Peter Florrick while he's running for governor says that he has a birthmark shaped like Brazil on his penis.

This was so important that [[spoiler:the biggest secret of the plot is that the legitimate son of Calixto, Rubén, ''doesn't'' that mark because he isn't his biological son and his mother faked it when he was a kid]]. The remake ''La marca del deseo'' changed it for a heart-shaped birthmark in the lower back. |

| 156 | * ''Series/MotherlandFortSalem'': Abigail, Raelle, and Tally exposit on the fact that witches' marks go from black to glittery after a witch loses her virginity. Abigail's and Tally's are in easy-to-show places, but Raelle (who is confirmed later to be a lesbian) comments they'd have to get ''a lot'' friendlier for her to show them hers, as it's right next to her vagina. |
| 157 | * ''Series/{{NCIS}}'': |
| 158 | ** In the first season, to impress Abby, [=McGee=] gets a tattoo on his butt. It is never shown, but he reveals that it's "Mom." |

Maia has a butterfly tattoo that is... well-hidden (heavily implied to be somewhere one won't see with all of her clothes on). |
| 165 | * ''Series/Siren2018'': Maddie has a large feather tattoo on her chest. This partly covers her breasts, and Ryn gets quite fascinated by seeing it when Maddie is wearing a low-cut dress, which provides some ShipTease (the two later become lovers). |
| 166 | * ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' Chloe Sullivan [[InformedAttribute apparently]] has a distinctive birthmark on one of her buttocks, assuming you believe the character with x-ray vision. |
| 167 | * In ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' and later works in the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' franchise, Trills have markings on their bodies that run from their neck down to their feet. A RunningGag in the series is that non-Trills would like to know "just how far the markings go." This was {{enforced|Trope}} over the RubberForeheadAliens look used in ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS4E23TheHost The Host]]" because the ''[=DS9=]'' TV crew decided the ''TNG'' makeup made Terry Farrell (Jadzia Dax) look ugly. |
| 168 | * In one episode of ''Series/That70sShow'', Eric's cousin comes to stay with them and constantly wears tight t-shirts with large logos over her breasts. She catches Eric looking at her breasts, and "innocently" mistakes it for him reading her t-shirt logo. This becomes a running gag throughout the episode. At the end of the episode, it turns out all the flirty behavior and sexy clothing was calculated to attract Eric as payback for a prank he'd played on her years ago. |
| 169 | * ''Series/TwoBrokeGirls'': Caroline's father's former mistress is writing a book about him, in which she claims among other things that he has a small penis. Caroline goes on ''Piers Morgan'' to defend her father (for the "among other things" part, not the small penis part -- she refuses to discuss that). She also happens to have a photo of her father on her phone in which he is accidentally flashing the camera. [[HilarityEnsues Through a convoluted course of events]], Morgan sees the photo and immediately dismisses the mistress's story because Caroline's father's penis is quite healthy; if she's lying about that, she's most likely lying about the rest of it too. |
| 170 | * In an episode of ''Series/TwoGuysAGirlAndAPizzaPlace'', Berg tried to prevent Pete from discovering that Pete's new girlfriend had his [Berg's] name tattooed on her body in a very intimate place. |
| 171 | * ''{{Series/Vida}}'': Alex, one of the nonbinary people who Emma gets a threeway with, has many tattoos on their torso just beside or above (though not on) their breasts, plus over their ass, as the audience [[{{Fanservice}} gets shown in great detail]] afterward. |
| 172 | * ''Series/TheWalkingDead2010'': Magna has a large tattoo on her chest which extends down over and between her breasts. |
| 173 | * ''Series/TheWheelOfTime2021'': Siuan has intricate tattoos on her arms and chest just over her breasts, as seen when she's having her tryst with Moiraine. |
| 174 | * ''Series/YouMeHer'': Izzy has a tattoo on her left side near her breast, which is seen sometimes when she's wearing revealing tops or undressing. |

| 177 | [[folder:Music Videos]] |
| 178 | * WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow: Music/CatHairballs ends with Stimpy falling on a conveyor belt and Ren stamping Stimpy [[PainToTheAss on the ass. ]] This results in the words "Grade A" being written across Stimpy's butt cheeks. |
| 179 | * In the video for Music/WeirdAlYankovic's song "Tacky", Kirsten Schaal lives up to the title by wearing a top with hot pink handprints over the breasts. |

| 181 | |
| 182 | [[folder:Theatre]] |
| 183 | * In ''Theatre/{{Cymbeline}}'', Imogen, the heroine, has a mole under one of her breasts. Iachmo is able to falsely win a bet that he could seduce her, by spying on her while sleeping, and noting this distinguishing mark. |
| 184 | * The Broadway musical ''Theatre/RedHotAndBlue'' was about a lawyer's search for his long-lost childhood sweetheart. The only identifying feature he can remember about her is a posterior scarred from sitting on a waffle iron. |

| 188 | * ''Toys/CabbagepatchKids'' have the signature of Xavier Roberts on their buttocks. |

| 191 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 192 | * Miriam, of ''VideoGame/BloodstainedRitualOfTheNight'' has rose-pattered areas of her skin crystallizing. The most noticeable is just above her left breast, due to the corruption starting with her heart, but she has more over her body including a couple on her thighs. Each is surrounded by a ring of Enochian characters, to inhibit their spread. Johannes is implied to have scribed these on her, though the relationship appears purely professional. |
| 193 | * In ''VideoGame/TheCaligulaEffect'', when the mysterious Wicked finally reveals themselves to the Go Home Club, they turn out to have a pink heart tattoo on the right side of their chest that only becomes visible because their attire includes an open shirt. |
| 194 | * Isaac from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaCurseOfDarkness'' has a complex series of tattoos that disappear into very low-cutting pants. |
| 195 | ** In the comic booklet that comes with a promo CD upon pre-ordering the game, Isaac is shown fully unclothed, and his tattoos go all the way down to his ankles. |
| 196 | * ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077'': You can't see it in the game, but if you rip [[GadgeteerGenius Judy Alvarez's]] nude model used in her sex scene from the files, you can see that she has a [[VisualPun cat tattoo on her groin]]. |
| 197 | * ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'': Toko Fukawa wears a long skirt as part of her old-fashioned school uniform; this is because [[spoiler: she has KillTally marks on her left thigh, left by her murderous SplitPersonality Genocide Jack.]] |
| 198 | * Jinana from ''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga'' has a PowerTattoo on her right buttock. |
| 199 | * Zevran from ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' ''insinuates'' that he has tattoos on parts of his body that he can't show in polite company that "accentuate the lines of the body". These tattoos are never actually seen and he only refers to them. |
| 200 | * Though it can't be seen by the naked eye in-game and can only be looked at through a viewscreen, the dead alien Osiris from ''[[VideoGame/DrownedGod Drowned God: Conspiracy of the Ages]]'' has four rod-shaped tattoos on his body, one of which is on his penis. [[ShareTheMalePain If it's any consolation to know]], the tattoos were done post-mortem, as they depict the events and aftermath of his death. |
| 201 | * ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'': |
| 202 | ** Vanille's l'Cie brand is on her upper, ''upper'' thigh -- to the extent that the male members of the party sheepishly turn away when she reveals it. [[HomoeroticSubtext Fang is allowed to check it whenever she wants, though.]] |
| 203 | ** Additionally, there's Lightning's l'Cie brand. While never shown on-screen in ''XIII'' proper (Light turns her back to the camera as she unzips her shirt to check her brand while on the run from the Sanctum's military forces with Fang in Palumpolum), ''VideoGame/The3rdBirthday'' allows Aya to wear Lightning's outfit (in turn, Lightning is able to don Aya's attire in ''[[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy Dissidia 012]]''; [[ActorAllusion this is because, in Japanese, they're both voiced by]] Creator/MaayaSakamoto). ClothingDamage reveals that her brand is located on the upper-left side of her chest, just above her breasts. [[HomoeroticSubtext Fang coaxes Lightning into allowing her to take a quick look, telling Light not to be shy; a slightly flustered Lightning offers no resistance.]] [[note]]Fang did have good reason to check in both cases: the progression of the brand's evolving design indicates [[YourDaysAreNumbered how much time a l'Cie has left to complete their Focus before they turn into Cie'th]], as she reveals to Lightning. This doesn't change the fact that Fang apparently thinks that she is within her rights to lift up Vanille's skirt without asking.[[/note]] |
| 204 | * In ''VideoGame/JurassicParkTrespasser'', Anne has a heart-shaped tattoo on her breast that indicates her current health status. Since there is no HUD, the player has to actually look down to check the tattoo. |
| 205 | * In ''VideoGame/LegendOfLegaia 2'', characters known as "Mystics" have a PowerTattoo due to the presence of an elemental spirit (an "Origin") within them. At least one character refuses to identify the location of her mark; apparently it is somewhere embarrassing. |
| 206 | * Paya of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' has a papaya-shaped birthmark, which is how she got her name. If Link asks where it is, she gets flustered and won't tell him. Impa eventually reveals it's on her left butt cheek. |
| 207 | * ''Franchise/MassEffect'': |
| 208 | ** Jack, a TattooedCrook, is covered head to toe, almost completely, in ink. Accentuated by her {{Stripperiffic}} outfit in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' which is just enough to leave you NippleAndDimed. And if romanced, ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' reveals that she got an N7 tattoo on one of her ass cheeks. |
| 209 | ** In the Citadel DLC party, Tali ends up with an omni-tattoo [[CallBack in the lower wards near the bottom]]. |
| 210 | * ''VideoGame/ShadowHeartsFromTheNewWorld'': The deuteragonist [[MagicalNativeAmerican Shania]] can form pacts with nature spirits that allow her to fuse with them to turn into various {{Cute Monster Girl}}s. Each spirit grants her a PowerTattoo, that she has to bare in order to transform. Her starting spirit gave her a tattoo in a decent place, namely wings on her back, but the rest... Earth spirit's tattoo goes into her lower abdomen and inner thighs, Water spirit gives her marks on buttocks, and the Sun spirit's sign is located on her chest, with its lower portion going inbetween her breasts. |
| 211 | * ''VideoGame/StarTrekOnline'' confirms what ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' said about Trills' spots: they really do go all the way down, which you can see if you put a Trill PlayerCharacter in a swimsuit from the summer event. |
| 212 | * ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3'' features special glowing marks that roughly signify how many time from their 10-years lifespan the person has left. They are put on random places on the characters' bodies, and some of the girls, like Eunie or Ethel, have theirs stamped on their breasts. |

| 215 | [[folder:Web Comics]] |
| 216 | * In ''Webcomic/{{Concession}}'' Joel was unwillingly forced into a series of body modifications that culminated in a [[http://concessioncomic.com/index.php?pid=20100803 brand of his boyfriend's name on his rear.]] |
| 217 | * ''Webcomic/FullFrontalNerdity'': One strip suggests that Lewis has a map to Milwaukee's "Safe House" bar tattooed on his butt. |
| 218 | * In ''Webcomic/{{SSDD}}'' after Tessa finds out that Kerrie got a tattoo she's quick to state that [[http://www.poisonedminds.com/d/20080909.html it's not on her arse.]] When (part of) it is [[http://www.poisonedminds.com/d/20131224.html finally shown]] five years later it's shown to be on her crotch. |
| 219 | * Morgana in [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/morgana-and-oz/list?title_no=2964&page=1 Morgana and Oz]] has one on her chest/torso. It's made kind of awkward to the people she shows. |

| 222 | [[folder:Web Original]] |
| 223 | * Website/NotAlwaysRight: [[https://notalwaysright.com/tit-for-tattoo/70124/ "Tit for Tat(too)"]]. A woman complains about the speaker having a tattoo of ivy around her ankle, saying she's setting a bad example for kids, [[BoomerangBigot only for the speaker to spot a tattoo of dolphins at the small of the woman's back]]. |
| 224 | * The writer of the infamous "[[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/to-be-fair-you-have-to-have-a-very-high-iq-to-understand-rick-and-morty To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty]]" copypasta implies having one, in the form of a ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' tattoo "for the ladies' eyes only". |

| 233 | ** And in ''Attack of the Killer App'', Leela is shown with a [[StealthPun singing boil named Susan]] on her butt. |
| 234 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain,'' episode "Brain's Bogie", as the duo are watching an infomercial involving Music/{{Cher}} selling a home tattoo kit and showing off her tattoos of her loved one's names, Cher says "Take a look where I put Ed Kotch" which is followed an off-screen sound of a zipper and Pinky and Brain both ooh-ing in unison. |
| 235 | * In ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', episode "Homer to the Max", after Homer legally changes his name to [[AwesomeMcCoolname Max Power]], Marge disapproves because she has Homer's name tattooed... somewhere. Homer's response? "They have acids that can burn that off." |
