Why does Jellal have the red tattoo around his eye? Where did it come from? Is
there anything special about the shape of the markings?

What is the background about the tattoo around Jellal's eye?


Fun fact, this is actually a reference to Hiro Mashima's (the author of Fairy
Tail) other series "Rave Master." In that show, there is a character named
Seigrain, who has a tattoo over his eye, which is the same as Jellal's. This
character also looks very similar to Jellal's.

Sometimes Mashima sneaks in stuff from Rave Master. Such as Plue, who he
describes as his own pet who he can use in whatever he likes. So, that's
probably why Mashima put it in there.

I think it's before the tower of heaven happened. He was in a village or
something and they did a ceremony for the most powerful child (most magical
energy) and they gave that child a special mark to note that he is the
strongest; maybe they were going to use him to fight wars (until he was taken
by the people at the tower of heaven).

I know that it's also a reference to Rave Master which was made by Hiro
Mashima, the author of Fairy Tail.

The ceremony thing isn't possible, its likely that he was born with the
markings and my evidence is mystogan/prince jellal of edolas as it's a
parallel universe where everyone is opposite.
