Demons

An anti-possession symbol acts as a ward that will protect the wearer from possession by a demon. The anti-possession symbol for demons appears as a pentagram, created as an endless knot inside a circle reminiscent of a sun symbol. The symbol can be warn as a charm, or tattooed onto the body, though tattooing the symbol appears to be a rarity amongst hunters. The only people known to have had the symbol tattooed onto their bodies are Sam Winchester, Dean Winchester, Mary Winchester, Dean Winchester II, Sera Siege, Kevin Tran, Linda Tran and Jack Kline. Though in the case of Jack, his Nephilim powers healed and removed the tattoo from his body as soon as it was completed.

Like all other wardings, if the symbol is altered in any way, it's protection is negated.

Akrida

When the Akrida began an invasion of Earth in 1972, Samuel Campbell suggests to his daughter Mary and John Winchester to get a symbol tattooed on them to protect against being possessed by an Akrida.
