This is based on a long-established tradition in which soldiers are allowed to use body art to signify a great event. Older even than the concordat and thought to have its origins in the 'Native American' ethinic group from Terra, it was first introduced as a military tradition during the Taurians' first run-in with [[House Davion]].  During that battle, a popular naval commander was scarred by laser fire across his brow, the burn creating a mask-like scar and robbing him of his sight.  To honor their commander and commemorate the event, many survivors tattooed a red mask around thier eyes.

#REDIRECT [[Awards#Taurian Brand]]
When a regiment or special command has performed a feat or been involved in an action that confers on them the instant acclaim of the Taurian people, this privillage must be requested by a regimental commander.  The Senior Marshal awards it to the entire unit, though recipients must also have the permission of their battalion commander.  One direct, name-bearing descendent per generation may take the Brand.  MechWarriors are also allowed to paint the Brand on their machines. <ref>''Field Manual : Periphery 2'' 10982, pp.54-55 </ref>
