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 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 {{egregious}} about this.)
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 [[ShesGotLegs shapely legs]], [[BareYourMidriff bared midriffs]] or a SexyBack do not count. Marks just shy of these areas (''just'' above the breast, buttocks, or crotch) are passable, though.
Some examples may overlap with EmbarrassingTattoo. Can also overlap with BroughtToYouByTheLetterS and ChestInsignia, if the insignia is somewhere that you [[MyEyesAreUpHere shouldn't be looking for more than a second]]. See also TattooAsCharacterType.
'''This page is not for how awesome, sexy, or cute said character's breasts, butt or other body part is.''' This is merely a catalog of said characters or examples of the trope in media.

* 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/{{TNG}}: "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS4E23TheHost The Host]]" because the [=DS9=] TV crew decided the TNG makeup made Creator/TerryFarrell (Jadzia Dax) look ugly.

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.

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.

ClothingDamage reveals that Lightning's l'Cie brand is located on the upper-left side of her chest, just above her breasts.

Some clothes designers intentionally put their logo here, or sell clothes with attention-grabbing marks as an advertising gimmick. ("Snorg Tees" is particularly {{egregious}} about this.)
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 [[ShesGotLegs shapely legs]], [[BareYourMidriff bared midriffs]] or a SexyBack do not count. Marks just shy of these areas (''just'' above the breast, buttocks, or crotch) are passable, though.
Some examples may overlap with EmbarrassingTattoo. Can also overlap with BroughtToYouByTheLetterS and ChestInsignia, if the insignia is somewhere that you [[MyEyesAreUpHere shouldn't be looking for more than a second]]. See also TattooAsCharacterType.
'''This page is not for how awesome, sexy, or cute said character's breasts, butt or other body part is.''' This is merely a catalog of said characters or examples of the trope in media.

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]

* ''Manga/ElHazard''. Both [[PersonOfMassDestruction Ifurita]] and [[ApocalypseMaiden Kalia's]] activation modules are located directly above the cleft of their buttocks. [[FreudWasRight Each must be inserted with a keystaff to turn them on]], and is every bit as suggestive as it sounds.

* In ''Manhua/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]] [[WhatAnIdiot while negotiating with him]]).

[[folder:ComicBooks]]
* Comic book superheroines have some notable examples of [[BroughtToYouByTheLetterS their insignias]] being on FanService-y areas):
** ComicBook/WonderWoman 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.
** ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} tends to invite this trope, since her "S" insignia is right on her chest (although, she ''is'' a DistaffCounterpart of {{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.
* Ninjette in ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'' wears [[WhoWearsShortShorts short shorts]] with her name across the rear.

The closeted homosexual walks in and drops his soap. He bends over to reveal that "BAD ASS" is tattooed on his butt cheeks.

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* ''Series/{{NCIS}}''
** 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."
** Apparently, Abby talked Kate into getting a tattoo as well.
* In ''Series/BigBangTheory'' 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.

* In ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', Elliot has mole on her butt, leading to the nickname "mole butt". It is first mentioned as part of an embarrassing story about using the restroom with roller skates on.
* 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/{{TNG}}: "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS4E23TheHost The Host]]" because the [=DS9=] TV crew decided the TNG makeup made Creator/TerryFarrell (Jadzia Dax) look ugly.
* 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.
* ''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.

* ''Videogame/FinalFantasyXIII''
** 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.
** Additionally, while never shown on-screen in ''XIII'' proper, ''VideoGame/{{The 3rd Birthday}}'' 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]] MaayaSakamoto). ClothingDamage reveals that Lightning's l'Cie brand is located on the upper-left side of her chest, just above her breasts.
* 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.

* ''Franchise/MassEffect'': Jack, a TattooedCrook, is covered head to toe, almost completely, in ink. Accentuated by her {{Stripperific}} outfit in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' which is just enough to leave you NippleAndDimed.
* 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.
