I second that. Remember how terrified Karkaroff was when he showed the Mark to 
Snape? Obviously it's not something that can be hidden and revealed by the will 
of the bearer, instead it links directly to Voldemort and gets more visible the 
more he regains his power.
I'm sure Karkaroff would have made the Mark invisible, if he'd had any choice 
to do so. To me it seems the Mark is something similar to a branding mark, 
something the DE's receive when they join Voldemorts ranks, to always remind 
them that they are now his forever...
Does this make sense?
