The Hunter's Mark is an unlimited-use item: it forfeits your currently held Blood Echoes and returns you to the last lamp you rested at. Bold Hunter's Mark is the consumable alternative that preserves those echoes. Keep that mechanical distinction separate from a tattoo's personal meaning.
The item distinction below follows the two readable Bloodborne Wiki entries requested for this correction. They are community documentation, not publisher product notices. Art-book and licensed-goods links are visual references, not evidence for item mechanics.
Hunter's Mark versus Bold Hunter's Mark
Hunter's Mark is not spent when used. It removes the Blood Echoes you are currently carrying and returns you to the last rested lamp. It does not remove an existing bloodstain or its dropped echoes.
Bold Hunter's Mark is consumed on use and returns you to the last rested lamp without losing your carried Blood Echoes. Neither description should be rewritten as a generic return to the Hunter's Dream.
Discuss a design with an artist
Use an appropriate reference to identify the symbol or lettering you want. Its game function does not dictate your personal interpretation or establish permission to reproduce artwork.
Discuss placement, permanence and safety with a qualified tattoo professional, and check applicable local and studio requirements. Commission an original design rather than copying another artist's finished tattoo. This site supplies no stencil pack or medical or licensing advice.
