History Main / IntimateMarks

* 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 tigh, 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, who tricked the detectives into looking under women's skirts and [[MistakenForPervert get arrested for sexual harassment by the local precint]] while the thieves can waltz through the surveillance in the confusion.

* ''Series/TheLWord'': Carmen has tattoos around her waist just over her buttocks and groin, as shown in many intimate scenes.

* ''Film/JohnnyEnglish'': PlayedForLaughs when the BigBad conspires to CaptureAndReplicate the Archbishop of Canterbury -- the criminal [[LatexPerfection impersonator]] has a tattoo on his bottom reading "Jesus Is Coming - Look Busy". When Johnny goes to publicly expose him, in every sense of the word, [[spoiler:he turns out to have the real Archbishop.]]

* ''Series/{{Shadowhunters}}'': Clary and Izzy have Shadowhunter rune tattoos near or on their breasts (in fact, one is shared between both of Izzy's, plus between them), as displayed when they wear low-cut tops ([[MsFanservice which is very often]]) and occasionally [[LingerieScene less]]. Maia has a butterfly tattoo that is... well-hidden (implied to be somewhere one won't see with all of her clothes on).

* ''Series/{{Shadowhunters}}'': Clary and Izzy have Shadowhunter rune tattoos near or on their breasts, as displayed when they wear low-cut tops ([[MsFanservice which is often]]) and occasionally [[LingerieScene less]].

* ''Literature/Nos4A2'': Manx gets resurrected (even after he's partly dissected, with ''a scalpel in his heart'') once his car gets started up again by Bing.
* ''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: she implies it's between her legs.

* In one of the ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'' 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).

* In ''ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog'', 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.

* ''Series/{{NCIS}}''

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

* In the 2002 film adaptation of ''Theatre/TheImportanceOfBeingEarnest'', Gwendolyne gets Ernest's signature tattooed on her buttocks adding to her anger when she finds out "Ernest" is actually called "Jack". During the end credits Jack is seen at the same tattoo parlor getting a matching "Gwendolyne" tatto as she holds his hand in support.

* ''Manga/KodomoNoOmocha'': 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]].)

* ''Series/{{Smallville}} Chloe Sullivan [[InformedAttribute apparently]] has a distinctive birthmark on one of her buttocks, assuming you believe the character with x-ray vision.

* In ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'':

** ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} tends to invite this trope, since her "S" insignia is right on her chest (although, she ''is'' a DistaffCounterpart of Franchise/{{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.

* Comicbook/JohnConstantine has a tree tattooed on his ass, but it's not entirely clear he's aware of it – Comicbook/SwampThing put it there when he possessed Constantine in order to father a child with his girlfriend Abby.

* In the movie ''Film/{{Overboard}}'' 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.

* 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 handprints over her breasts.

* 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".
