A classic shorthand for indicating that somebody has activated their Super Mode, tapped into their True Potential, or otherwise just got a lot more powerful: Basically, a badass-looking pattern appears on their skin, often glowing. Is related to Glowing Eyes of Doom, and the two are often seen together. This is not necessarily an indication of heroism or villainy. The trope has appearances about even on either side. Sometimes, it's a case of a character being pushed too far. The tattoos will usually just be either a nifty/badass black pattern or a glowing red one. Can overlap with Tron Lines and Instant Runes. Compare and contrast with Mark of the Beast, for when the patterns forming are an indication of evil and Power Tattoo, the more compact version. Compare Power-Up Full Color Change. |

Kite in the .hack R1 Games starts out wearing olive green. However, due to his encounter with Aura in the first dungeon of .hack//Infection, his outfit is turned bright red with orange markings. That shade of red and the markings are ordinarily not available to players, and it marks Kite as someone special... unfortunately for him, that includes the in-game administrators, who oppose him due to fear that he's going to hack their game. Luckily, Kite eventually clears that up and gains their assistance. | |

Naruto: Tsunade, Medical Ninja and Tsundere extraordinaire, has a small diamond marking on her forehead where she keeps an insane amount of chakra carefully stored. When she releases the seal, it expands into a spiraling pattern, and foreshadows the can of whoop-ass that she is about to open. Sakura's too. The fox-whisker-markings on Naruto's face get bigger and turn red when he starts to access his Nine-Tails Chakra. Naruto's controlled Jinchuuriki form manifests symbols on his chakra shroud, which extend further when he uses a large amount of chakra, and then they darken and change form (covering most of his body in black) once he befriends Kurama, and even moreso when he receives Ashura's power. The Sound Four, and later Sasuke, use cursed seals, small black markings which spread to cover their bodies when activated into their "First States". The Second State curse marks are something else entirely. |

Invisible unless you look at it up close but in Mobile Suit Gundam 00, if you perchance happen to fight a Gundam that goes trans-am, the GN particle channels light up briefly before the entire unit is flooded with GN particles and it lays the smackdown on you. Even worse, in Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, once it activates the NT-D system, you KNOW it is about to kill you. |

The Dresden Files. The members of the Fellowship of St. Giles are all people who've been infected by Red Court vampires, but who haven't given in to their hungers and killed someone, so they're stuck in the state between human and icky demon thing wearing human flesh. To keep their hungers in check, they're tattooed with control sigils; when they draw upon their inherently vampiric powers (superstrength, great speed, resiliency), the tattoos become visible and start turning deeper shades of red to reflect how much self-control they have left. | |

Susan Sto Helit, of Discworld, has a birthmark on her face from where her father was slapped by the skeletal incarnation of Death. The thin red marks, as of bony fingers, become visible when she is angry, embarrassed or otherwise flushed, so they aren't precisely marks of badassitude — but she's a woman protagonist in a Pratchett novel, so rendering her moderately annoyed is pretty much the same thing; she's about to destroy you. It could also be taken, as Narrative Causality is a force on the Disc, as a literal manifestation of the expression "I'm going to hit you so hard your children will feel it." |

Black Star and Tsubaki in Soul Eater. When activated, the Demon Blade mode Tsubaki acquired through absorbing her brother's soul covers the Weapon and her Tech in curving, black tattoo-like lines. In a similar vein, Death the Kid's Sanzu Lines- those white marks on his hair- connect into one or more full circles around his head to herald a Super Mode. The exact method by which this is achieved varies between the anime and manga. |

Used in Alfred Bester's novel The Stars My Destination (aka Tiger! Tiger!), with some justifying done. Gully Foyle has a tiger pattern tattooed on his face. After he has this removed, it reappears as red marks from the rush of blood whenever he gets angry. Possibly Truth in Television, depending on the removal procedure used. All procedures will leave behind some kind of scarring, and superficial/not-usually-visible scars will often flush redder than surrounding skin. |

A variation in the animated adaptation of Bokurano: when someone is chosen as a pilot (thus gaining all the power of the Zearth during their turn), markings show up on their faces, often Foreshadowing the shape of the enemy they will fight. But, because being the next pilot also means being the next to die, the markings are rarely regarded as a good thing. These markings don't show up in the manga. | |

In various Pokémon media, the patterns on Groudon and Kyogre start glowing when they get pissed off. These lines are also a trait of those who are being corrupted by the Red and Blue Orbs connected to the two. The deeper the corruption, the more elaborate the pattern. When Groudon possesses Pikachu in the anime, our adorable little mouse gets the glowing pattern; and it's scary as hell. | |

X-Men character Rachel Summers had tattoos put on her face when she was forced to work as a Hound — a hunter of other mutants. She telekinetically hides them most of the time, but when she's angry or stressed, she gets distracted and they show up again. Making her look more than a little intimidating. Which is appropriate given the level of destruction she's capable of.◊ | |

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind: After the Tribunal went against the will of Azura and used the Tools of Kagrenac on the Heart of Lorkhan, she either cursed the formerly gold-skinned Chimer people with the dark skin and red eyes of the modern Dunmer or pointed out that the Tribunal had done it while using the tools. (The details are rather sketchy at best.) The physical forms of the Tribunal all changed as well after using the tools to achieve godhood. Almalexia kept her Chimer form, becoming even more beautiful and adding all sorts of adornments to her form, including complex tattoos. Vivec became half-Chimer/half-Dunmer, split right down the middle, which went along well with his mythic status as a hermaphrodite "trickster," and added a "flame" to his bald head. Sotha Sil meanwhile adopted the basic form of a Dunmer. When Almalexia finally snaps and reveals her Face–Heel Turn to the Nerevarine, she appears with her terrifying battle mask. |

Tsunayoshi Sawada from Reborn! (2004) can tap into Dying Will Mode if shot in the head by a Dying Will Bullet or if he swallows a Dying Will Pill. When he does go into that mode, his usually round brown eyes◊ turn into an angular orange, and an orange flame lights up on his forehead. From the Hyper Dying Will Mode, Tsuna gains a good sense of combat and an ability used by his ancestors called Hyper Intuition, which allows him to predict human movements and gain an upper hand in battle. When Tsuna's Shadow Archetype/Evil Counterpart (does he still count as the latter since he stopped being an active antagonist?) Xanxus's body gets covered in old scars when he goes all out/anyone mentions Tsuna. And his flames start to glow around his as well. |

Slightly different effect-wise, but when Natsu of Fairy Tail powers up by eating the Etherion, he gets a scaly draconic pattern around his eyes and arms. Mirajane gets the non-glowing version when she uses her Take Over transformations. |

In Fable, the more proficient you become with magic, the more mystical glowing runes appear on your body. In Fable III, when charging for a flourish attack, different glowing patterns (depending on the clothing worn) appear. This is additional to tattoos which begin to glow in different colours as you decide upon your moral alignment. |

An actual plot point in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: each Slayer fights with a particular, elemental-themed Breathing style, but not even the Hashira, the topmost warriors of the order, have yet unlocked the apex of their Breathing style, which makes an elemental-themed mark appear on their body (usually their face). The last order the Oyakata gave them was to find a way to unlock this power up, in order to triumph over Kibutsuji Muzan. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer's example is when Willow has her Superpower Meltdown after Tara is killed. She absorbs knowledge from a whole pile of books on Black Magic, and the arcane symbols all ink themselves onto her skin like tattoos, and her hair and eyes go pitch black. More subtly done previously in the series, where Willow's eyes simply become huge and black. Done big again at the end of the series when Willow makes all the potentials into Slayers, her hair goes all white and there's a white glowing light. |

A variation occurs in Negima! Magister Negi Magi when the Big Bad of the Mahora Festival arc activates her forced magic circuits. They're mostly masked by her hair and clothing, but we're shown Negi's magic-sense POV of the patterns of glyphs glowing on her body. Used straight much later on when Negi masters a Dangerous Forbidden Technique to take on the Big Bad. |

Saiyuki: it is normal for demons to have some sort of colored marks on their body, but if they are wearing Power Limiters to seal their abilities and make themselves look human, the marks disappear until they decide to remove the limiters and tap into their powers again. Usually they're just Facial Markings or a single tattoo-like spot elsewhere, though some have more elaborate ones, such as Hakkai's vine-like pattern (green in the manga, glowing red in the anime) that goes all over his body and can be controlled and used as Combat Tentacles. | |
