How exactly does a person remove a guild mark? Is there a special magic for
this?

How is a guild mark removed?


We really don't know how the guild mark is removed, but Yukino do it with her
own magic. Sabertooth's Guild Master order her to remove it by her own magic
and she do it.

We know that guild marks are given by stamping someone with the rubber seal
like thingy. **When Lucy entered the guild, Mira used this device on Lucy to
give her the mark**.

>  Future Lucy didn't had a guild mark. {Maybe because the guild was destroyed
> and the guild mark also vanished or someone removed it from her}

This answer is only based on the anime :)

Menaka gave a good answer but I want to add on:

  1. No special magic is needed to remove a guild mark. Mainly because the mark and the guild are most likely connected. We can see this from how Future Lucy teared up after seeing the guild mark on Present Lucy's hand (as mentioned in menaka's answer).

  2. Flare actually wanted to use her magic to engrave Raven Tail's mark on her

  3. The mark can only be removed by the person themselves, I would assume. Or else, anyone with magic could easily remove another's guild mark which to some are their pride and joy like Lucy is with Fairy Tail's mark. This can also be seen from how Yukino has to remove the Mark herself in front of her guild at the time.

The guild mark will not really disappear unless the person is banished from
the guild.

However, it's true about future Lucy not having one because Fairy Tail didn't
exist, like when Wendy found out about her guild Cait Shelter didn't really
exist, her guild mark disappeared.

On the other hand, Laxus was banished from the guild but still had his guild
mark when he was allowed back, so it doesn't make sense.

In the end, I say it's really only something the master can do.

A person's mark is something that symbolises their part in a team or guild.
This mark can't be wiped off easily because it's like a permanent marker
stamp. We know this because we can see times when Lucy showers and her mark is
still clearly visible.

However, a mark **can** be removed as shown when Wendy's mark was removed from
Cait Shelter because the guild was not real or exist but also, the guild then
disconnected. Powerful dark magic also is strong enough to do this. If the
guild is no longer existing or 'standing', then the mark disappears as the
seal is broken as the magic from the stamp is no longer valid. But nobody
really knows how to remove a mark.

No one's mentioned this, so I thought I would. When Fairy Tail disbanded after
the Tartorous Ordeal, we can still clearly see that Lucy has her guild mark.
Gray, Natsu, and Erza are also seen having the Fairy Tail Guild Mark in X792.
If the Master had the power to remove guild marks, then I assume that Makarov
would've taken away everyone's guild marks to make sure that they didn't have
their heart still set upon Fairy Tail. Because of this, then it's safe to say
that it's not the Master who removes guild marks but the person. It seems like
removing a guild mark is often traumatizing, based upon Yukino's experience
with removing the mark. Of course, she was banished from the guild and in the
story with Laxus and the Thunder Legion, we don't see the four showing much
remorse about changing their guild marks. Because of this, I'd go to say that
you need to have the magic tool that places guild marks in order for the magic
to work. Keeping this in mind, we can assume that a second party would remove
the guild mark. I don't know if this is true or not seeing as Minerva also
removed and changed her guild mark. So we don't really know a lot about it
except that the guild marks can be removed and changed. It might have
something to do with how a person identifies themselves? We just don't know a
lot. But I just thought to point that out.
