Permanent marker can be a problem when you get it on something you don't mean to. It's even worse in fiction where permanent marker is permanent on skin. This can be part of a plot thread, as the character tries to wash it off or hide it with makeup, or it can simply be a gag where the character has to grin and bear it. Naturally, this isn't Truth in Television because skin produces a protective oil that breaks down most ink and makeup, so even permanent marker will wear off on its own, and hand sanitizer gel can help a great deal. Even substances that permanently stain or damage the outer layer of skin will disappear when the skin itself is shed and replaced. Permanent tattooing involves having the pigment placed between layers of skin (and even tattoos and scars can fade over time). As Tropes Are Flexible, this can apply to other stationary supplies permanently marking the skin. Usually overlaps with Status Quo Is God in TV, as even though it's explicitly stated it'll never come off, it's off by the next episode. Sometimes leads to or from Scannable Man or Human Notepad. Overlaps with Face Doodling when it comes to practical jokes. Examples |

Redwall: In Lord Brocktree, the Blue Hordes of Ungatt Trunn get their names from the fact that they are made to wash in permanent blue dye on the day they're inducted, showing that they belong to Trunn permanently. Over the course of the book, the vermin discover that walking while up to their necks in seawater for several hours will wash out the dye, leaving only their heads blue (and marking yet another symbolic victory against Trunn, who by that point is holed up in Salamandastron without food and with an increasingly unruly and hungry army). | |

In The Simpsons, Homer was sent to a mental institution and marked with an "INSANE" stamp on his right hand. Once he is declared sane, he has a very difficult time taking it off. | |

In The New Treasure Seekers, the Bastables' unpleasant cousin Archibald gets his comeuppance when Jane the maid substitutes Maple's dark bright navy-blue indelible dye for soap when he takes a bath (and turns the lights out so he can't see the difference until too late). The dye does eventually fade, but it takes weeks. | |

In Scrubs, J.D.'s brother Dan is shown in a flashback writing the word "Prom" on J.D.'s forehead with a permanent marker, forcing him to go to prom with the tattoo. It really was permanent, too, since J.D. had to have surgery with "skin from his ass" to get rid of it. | |

An early arc in Frazz saw Caulfield draw a sharpie goatee on himself right before School Picture Day. After being dissuaded from using any of Frazz's cleaning supplies to remove it (all his caustic chemicals have nasty side effects, and for obvious reasons using the belt sander was discouraged), he settles for wearing a paper bag over his head with his face drawn on it...only for the photographer to point out he can just use editing technology to remove the goatee from the photo. | |

In One-Punch Man, Crablante wants to murder a kid who drew nipples on him using a permanent marker. Crablante notes that the marker could be scrubbed off, but as he has two giant crab pincers for arms, he can't possibly clean it off himself. | |

In one episode of Dragon Tales, the characters accidentally use permanent paint for fingerpainting and find out that they can't wipe the paint off their fingers and rubbing vigorously at it only causes it to spread to the rest of their bodies. They have to perform an elaborate ritual that involves rubbing their bodies with magical berries and leaves to get the paint off. | |

In Butterfly Soup, Min draws one of a dagger on her arm as a young child, which can be seen in all of the flashbacks (although it isn't clarified if it lasts, or she just keeps redrawing it). In the present, as a pre-teen, she prefers to carry the actual thing. | |

Mystery Science Theater 3000: In At the Earth's Core, Jonah and the bots get frustrated at how quickly their temporary tattoos wear off, so they invent Permanent Temporary Tattoos: you apply them to the skin like temporary tattoos, but they never go away. "All you gotta do is set 'em, wet 'em... and then live with them forever." | |

Trollhunters has goblins who all look alike identify their leader by being the first one to pick up the last leader's permanent marker and draw on a moustache. The only way for the goblins to get a new leader is for the old one to die. It happens a lot: goblins are not very bright. | |

One Foxtrot arc had Jason try to remove an ink goatee from Peter (having tricked him into using a blue laundry marker), which unfortunately smeared all over his face instead. He went to school the next day with his face entirely blue... with the effect that the guys thought he looked like a Star Trek alien, while the girls thought he looked like Leonardo DiCaprio towards the end of Titanic. | |

In Photon, the titular character is so annoyed after his sister writes "idiot" on his forehead that he does the same to a Mysterious Waif that he discovers in suspended animation. Although the visible markings eventually go away, it becomes a Chekhov's Gun when the Big Bad tries to transform her into a power source that will give him godlike abilities, and the marking confuses the computer and screws up the process. | |

In Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series, Téa draws a smiley face across everyone's hands as a friendship gesture in the first episode. Joey points out afterwards that she used a permanent marker. Several episodes later, it becomes a Brick Joke when she asks if everyone remembers the friendship symbol. Even Tristan does, because it took him several weeks to scrub the marker off. | |

In a joke 4koma based on Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Domon Kasshu's x-shaped Rugged Scar on his cheek is revealed to be a marker. During his Training from Hell under Master Asia, whenever Domon would make a mistake, as punishment, Master Asia would draw an X on his cheek. Domon in this gag series is even more of an Idiot Hero than canon, so he messed up enough that the mark became permanent. | |

Ross calls the manufacturer and is told that it's not coming off, so they go around the casino with marked-up faces. Come the 6th Season premier, they've disappeared with no explanation. | |

Inverted in Life Is Strange: Before the Storm. Chloe can potentially get a black eye in the first episode. If she does, Rachel will cover it up with makeup about halfway through the episode, which hides the bruise for the rest of the game (even though Chloe takes a shower at the start of the third episode, two days later, which is nowhere near long enough for a black eye to disappear). | |
