* See [[Fan Tattoos]] for a gallery of ''Supernatural'' inspired tattoos from fans. The anti-possession tattoo is one of the most popular designs.
In [[4.18 The Monster at the End of This Book]], this phenomenon is referred to when Sam and Dean reveal their tattoos in order to pass as avid fans. In response the publisher of the ''Supernatural'' books by [[Chuck Shurley]], reveals she has the same tattoo -- on her ass. While not named in the episode, the publisher's name was [[Sera Siege]], named after writers [[Julie Siege]] and [[Sera Gamble]] -- as mentioned in this [http://www.tvguide.com/News/Supernatural-Questions-Answered-1002240.aspx interview by Sera Gamble.]

At some point Sam has the tattoo reapplied and it is next seen in [[13.02 The Rising Son]], when he and Dean take Jack to get tattoos. He describes it to the tattooist as "kind of like a family crest."

In [[13.19 Funeralia]], Sam's tattoo is seen for the first time since it was burned off in [[9.10 Road Trip]] when [[Rowena]] has his shirt open after capturing him.
===Variation in Sam and Dean's tattoo appearance===
|}
The boys Antianti-Possession tattoos first appear in [[3.12 Jus in Bello]]. As pictured you can see the bottom two spokes of Sam's tattoo appear different to the bottom two on Dean's tattoo, based on where the lines are broken. Sams tattoo arm breaks on the very bottom side of the star point, where as Dean's is broken between the two arm sections of the bottom right star point. This appears to be simply because they are placed at a slightly different angle on the boys' bodies.
When we see the tattoos again in [[4.18 The Monster at the End of This Book]], Sam's tattoo is seen very clearly and now matches the original design Dean had in Season 3. Unfortunately, Dean's tattoo is not fully visible, however if you look closely you can see it appears to be upside down, based on where the circle is being broken by the second star point. There is only one arm on the design that can break through the circle without breaking any other star point arms, and that is the bottom left star point when looking at Dean's original tattoo in [[3.12 Jus in Bello]].
We see Kevin's tattoo again in [[9.06 Heaven Can't Wait]], and it has changed to match Dean's original Season 3 tattoo. Dean's tattoo is also visible again when [[Abaddon]] threatens to remove it in [[9.02 Devil May Care]]. It matches his original design in Season 3, but again like Season 4, it is upside down.
 ==Other characters=====CharlieBradbury===In [[7.20 The Girl with the Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo]] [[Charlie Bradbury]] reveals she has a tattoo of [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Slave_Leia_costume Princess Leia in her slave girl bikini] astride a 20-sided dice (which are used in RPGs). In a scenario familiar to many fans, she claims she got it while drunk at [[Comic-Con]].
During the airing of the episode, the phrase #DandDtattoo trended on [[Twitter]] ([https://twitter.com/#!/SPN_Sherry/status/196051228944379905/photo/1 Source]).

===Kevin and Linda Tran===
In [[8.02 What's Up, Tiger Mommy?]] Sam and Dean make both [[Kevin]] and his mom [[Linda Tran]] get anti-possession tattoos at the Inked Pig Tattoo Parlor. Linda admits its not her first. Later [[Plutus]]' assistant [[Beau]] burn off Linda's tattoo so that [[Crowley]] can possess her. During [[9.06 Heaven Can't Wait]], Kevin's tattoo is visible as he draws his blood so Crowley can [[Goblet of Blood|call Hell]].

===Castiel===In [[9.03 I'm No Angel]] after [[Castiel]] becomes aware that [[angels]] are hunting him, he gets a tattoo in [[Enochian]] which will make him unable to be tracked by angels. This is similar to the [[Enochian ]] sigils he burned into [[Sam]] and [[Dean]]'s ribs for the same purpose in [[5.01 Sympathy for the Devil]]. However, this tattoo just jams him from being sensed by an angel's normal means of sensing people; [[Ephraim]] is able to locate him by sensing his pain, showing the tattoo doesn't block everything.
