A Sadistic villain of some sort — usually a Psycho for Hire or The Dragon, but occasionally the Big Bad — decides not to kill The Hero or Love Interest when they have the chance. Perhaps the villain needs them stronger; wants to Break the Haughty and/or Make an Example of Them; needs to flee; or just likes to watch them squirm. However, the villain, being a villain, is not about to let their captive go scot-free, and decides to etch a token of the encounter into their flesh.
The villainously hammy rationale given will probably be that the bad guy wants the subjugated to forever remember the humiliation and corruption the latter endured at the former's hands. Or, perhaps, the villain has committed so many atrocities that they can't be bothered to remember each one, and they themselves need a visual mnemonic. If the victim is indeed the Hero, the villain may leave the wound as a mark, confidently assuming they have invoked Death by Disfigurement. If the victim is the Hero's love interest, expect this trope to be narrowly averted, because Beauty Is Never Tarnished — unless they and the Hero are an Official Couple, and it's time for an Official Couple Ordeal Syndrome. (More mature works may later feature a wordless Scar Survey among the couple undergoing or having undergone the syndrome, though at least expect the scar to heal well or still be relatively "beautiful.")
More rarely, an Anti-Hero will dole out the wound as a "self-consolation prize" to an enemy who is wanted or needed alive. When the scar-giver marks their own flesh with memorabilia, they become a Human Notepad.
Sub-Trope of Every Scar Has a Story, though the scar was created deliberately and with a motive: the story behind which we often see play out, whether in the present or in a Flashback. Often a Mark of Shame, but permanent and focused more on sadistic purpose than on the sociological consequences. Related to Battle Trophy, Creepy Souvenir. Usually leads to Scars are Forever. May overlap with Glasgow Grin; Good Scars, Evil Scars; Rugged Scar; or "X" Marks the Hero. Compare Zorro Mark, when a mark is left on walls or clothes rather than the skin as a Calling Card. If the work began lighthearted but has been growing Darker and Edgier, this trope is a symptom of Cerebus Syndrome.
Not to be confused with Dueling Scar, which is usually the result of a 1-on-1 encounter and is often coincidental rather than intentional.

At Malfoy Manor, Bellatrix Lestrange carved "Mudblood" into Hermione's arm, upon her and Harry's capture in The Deathly Hallows. Of course, she and the Malfoys were probably meaning to do much more to her before Dobby intervened.

Bleach:
Inverted twice by Grimmjow:
Though Grimmjow would've unquestionably won their fight if he hadn't been interrupted by Tousen, the wound Ichigo's Getsuga Tenshou left on his chest serves as a reminder that the guy he was happily beating to a pulp had the audacity to challenge the difference in their strength, as if he actually believed that he could still win. This irks Grimmjow to no end, and even after he loses and later has his arm restored by Orihime, he makes sure not to heal the scar on his chest so that he can continue to remember his grudge against Ichigo.
Right after Grimmjow's final fight with Ichigo, Nnoitra ambushes him and leaves a massive wound on his collarbone. Two years later Grimmjow still sports the scar, possibly for the same reason.
Kenpachi Zaraki and Yachiru Unohana both left scars on each other during their first fight: Kenpachi got the iconic scar across his left eye and Unohana was left with a scar in the middle of her chest, usually concealed by her hair. Both characters remark upon their rematch that their scars ache when they see each other.

Arrow. Along with his many scars, Oliver Queen has a dragon tattoo matching that worn by his love interest Shado from the island flashbacks. Season 2 reveals that Slade Wilson had it forcibly tattooed onto Oliver because he blamed him for Shado's death. As Oliver is inclined to agree he doesn't have the tattoo removed until the start of Season 4, having made the decision to leave the past behind and marry Felicity Smoak.

In Kill Bill, when talking about the titular Big Bad's coma-inducing gunshot that began the film, Esteban Vihaio states that he simply would've cut her face, were he Bill. Soon after, he summons one of his prostitutes, Clarita, who had a cleft cut into her lips and presumably met such a fate.

X, from Dark Horse Comics' short-lived Comics' Greatest World superhero universe, was a '90s Anti-Hero urban vigilante with a "two strikes" policy. If he caught you doing crime once, he'd put a diagonal scar across your face. If he caught you again, he'd kill you and add another diagonal slash to make an X.

The Big Fat Kill: After turncoat Becky explains herself as a Defector from Decadence, out to just save "[her] own neck," Gail determinedly bites a chunk out of her "precious, scrawny little neck." Because she later gets Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves, this also counts as Marked to Die and Death by Disfigurement.

In Casino Royale, James Bond experiences a Villainous Rescue when a SMERSH assassin interrupts Bond being tortured and kills the villain who was torturing him. The Assassin then tells Bond that his orders didn't mention killing Bond, but carves a distinctive scar into the back of Bond's hand so that any other SMERSH agents Bond encounters will know he is a British spy and deal with him appropriately. When Bond returns to Britain, the Secret Service arranges a skin graft to hide the scar.

Inverted in the backstory of The Wheel of Time with Sammael, one of the most infamous servants of the Dark One. When The Chosen One Lews Therin Telamon scarred his face, he refused to have it healed, saying he would only remove it after killing Lews Therin personally. 3000 years and one Reincarnation later, he gets unceremoniously snuffed by a third party after failing to do so.

One Piece:
In the Baratie Arc (an early arc), Zoro - who dreams of defeating the Master Swordsman Mihawk to become one himself - got the (mis)fortune of running into the man himself in the seas, and challenged him to a duel. Mihawk won decisively, but he found Zoro's determination to win interesting, so Mihawk let him live and grow stronger so that he could become a Worthy Opponent - but not before slicing a huge gash on Zoro's chest as a reminder and a "gift" of sorts. Interestingly, while Zoro is justifiably ashamed of his defeat, he specifically turns to face Mihawk before he cuts him down, stating that a wound on his back would be even more shameful; Mihawk agrees with him.
Although Kaido is widely acknowledged to be the World's Strongest Creature, said to have never lost a one-on-one fight, he notably bears a massive, cross-shaped scar in his abdomen. Said scar was given to him by Kozuki Oden in Wano Country twenty years ago, and is the only scar across Kaido's entire body. Even after such a long time, Kaido still remembers Oden as one of the strongest warriors he ever faced, and the one who came the closest to killing him. He becomes impressed with Zoro in the present when he puts everything he's got in a single attack and manages to wound Kaido across the chest hard enough that the latter admits Zoro's attack will leave another scar.

Metal Gear Solid: Played with twice: when Cyborg Ninja amputates Revolver Ocelot's right hand, and when Sniper Wolf "le[aves her] mark on" Solid Snake (see top quote). Oddly, the former instance more than scars the victim, whereas the second one heals perfectly — possibly because Sniper Wolf was merely marking him as a target to kill later.

Alien vs. Predator has a rare positive example when the Predator and Lex team up after the latter manages to kill a Xenomorph. The Predator marks her cheek with scars as a tally of her kills which, at the end of the movie, is spotted by its allies: they present her with an antique weapon as a gift and leave her in peace, recognizing her as one of their own.

After Hiccup is given to Alvin as a hostage in Lost Boy, he is ceremoniously branded with an Outcast brand. This brand made him a criminal in the eyes of Berk law, taking what little place he had in the process. This brand is then thoroughly wiped clean by the burns he sustained in the battle against the Red Death, symbolically representing the clean slate the heroic moment granted him in the eyes of the village.

Done twice in The Mask of Zorro: firstly by the original Zorro, Diego de la Vega, who leaves a Z-shaped scar on the neck of Don Rafael during a fight; then by Diego's protege, Alejandro Murieta, who leaves an M-shaped scar on the cheek of Rafael's henchman Captain Love.

In the pilot of Beauty and the Beast (1987) Catherine is kidnapped off the street by thugs who have mistaken her for a woman scheduled to testify against their boss in court. They make a number of ugly cuts on Catherine's face, intended to serve as a reminder every time she looks in a mirror for her to keep her mouth shut. Catherine gets expert plastic surgery, but one scar remains below her ear, and when she locates the witness she was mistaken for, she shows her the scar, saying, "I think this was meant for you."
