When a native tribe, group or clan of some kind is shown, in a lot of cases they tend to have exotic patterns of face paint or facial tattoos on. This is a special type of Facial Markings and Body Paint, in that they're exclusive to that tribe, and don't have to be exclusive to a certain type of being. This can also cover warpaint and other marks exclusive to a single group. Another, less flattering version of this can also commonly be seen in some older, stereotypical depictions of Native Americans too (alongside Braids, Beads and Buckskins), but due to it being considered by some to be pretty offensive nowadays, this version isn't very popular in the media today. May also have Savage Piercings. If they only put it on when preparing for battle, see This Means Warpaint. |

An episode of The Simpsons has this at one point in a parody of Lord of the Flies. When the Model UN (basically Springfield Elementary's entire student body) gets stranded on a desert island and Milhouse is accused of stealing food, when he makes a break for it, Nelson takes ashes from the fire and stripes his face with them as he says "The hunt is on". | |

Discworld: The Nac Mac Feegle have elaborate clan tattoos. To the extent that the books sometimes seem contradictory as to whether they actually have blue skin or not.note The Nac Mac Feegle began as a parody, using this trope a humorous justification for why The Smurfs have blue skin, as well as creating a pun—or "play on words"—on "Pict" and "pixie". Since then, they have evolved and developed, and they accumulated a complex culture, book by book. | |

This is used in Mass Effect, where the turians have facial markings defining the wearer as a member from one of the colonies where they were born, all stem from some sort of civil war. For example, the turian Councilor is from Tridend and Garrus Vakarian hails from Palaven. It is mentioned in the Codex that turian culture considers turians who forgo facial markings untrustworthy, owing no allegiance to anyone else. As it happens, more than one turian villain in the games is barefaced, such as Warden Kuril who tries to capture Shepard and their squad. Tries. The term "barefaced" is also a slang term used by turians to denote a politician. | |

Batman: Minor Batman opponent Matatoa has Maori facial tattoos. The members of Black Mask's False Face Society wear masks as a sign of belonging and loyalty to Black Mask. However, one of Black Mask's lieutenants—the aptly named Tattoo—chooses to go in for elaborate facial tattoos rather than wearing a mask (with the effect being the same, i.e. giving him a 'false face'). In the Batman Civil War Elseworld The Blue, the Gray and the Bat, Bruce's Native American sidekick Redbird has face paint that just happens to resemble a domino mask. |

Lord Macintosh from Brave, whose design appears to be a Shout-Out to Braveheart.note That film in turn based it on popular ideas about the Picts, who preceded the Scots in what's now Scotland. Originally the wearing of vitrum (which could mean woad, a plant that produces a blue dye, or possibly glass, or even "glaze") was attributed by Julius Caesar to southern Britons, the ancestors of the Welsh. | |

Cloud Atlas: The film gives the Valleysmen facial tattoos and the Kona intimidating, skull-like warpaint. Real-world facial tattoos from Australasian tribes also appear in "Pacific Journal". | |

Earth's Children: The Clan use red ochre to paint a line down an infant's face and paint on the symbol of their totem during their naming ceremony, as demonstrated when Ayla is adopted into Brun's clan. When boys reach manhood, they have their totem symbol tattooed on their bodies. When Ayla decides to adopt a foal she names Whinney in The Valley of Horses, she uses red mud to paint the horse's muzzle similar to the clan's naming rituals. When a person dies, their body is painted with ochre before they're buried to represent the blood of the womb. The Zelandonii wear face paint with intricate designs on formal occasions; the paint is also sometimes used to complement or accentuate piercings. In The Shelters of Stone, Marona and her friends offer to paint Ayla's face for her welcoming ceremony so she'll fit in, but she declines. It's just as well, as they would probably have used the paint to make her look ridiculous like they did with her clothing. The Cro-Magnon tribes featured in the books sometimes use facial tattoos to mark a person's status; shamans of the Mamutoi have tattooed cheeks, while Zelandonii shamans and leaders tattoo their foreheads with different designs. |

Weaponlord weaves this into Korr's story as his tribe's Rite of Passage into adulthood, allowing him to take the lives of his opponents. When his brother Kӓng was about to get his, marauders came and abducted the boy who was unable to fight back since his face paint was unfinished. When Korr investigated these marauders later, he found all of them dead and thus subject to another law of the face paint: Those who break the rule and kill before their markings were made were subject to death. | |

Played with in BattleTech, where during the Clan Invasion of 3050 many of the strange tribe-like Clan warriors had geometric tattoos on their face. However, the tattoos are part of the Clan's advanced Humongous Mecha Brain/Computer Interface. Prolonged usage causes irreversible neural degradation and sanity slippage and as such it was only common with the more bloodthirsty Clans that led the invasion. | |

The Atlanteans in Atlantis: The Lost Empire have varied designs on their faces. This is especially most noticable with Kida and her father King Kashekhim Nedakh, who both wear this as royalty. Also, at the end of the film, Kida ends up gaining more tattoos on her face (one on her right cheek and another on her forehead), as with her new husband Milo Thatch, who gains one on his shoulder. However, Kida for some reason actually lost all but her first tattoo in the sequel. |

Many members of the Nora tribe in Horizon Zero Dawn wear stripes of various colors painted on their faces. These seem to be purely aesthetic with no deeper meaning, or possibly a very primitive form of camouflage to make their faces harder for prey to recognize. | |
