That's really interesting,1910. You know there are many cultures 
that believe tattoos will connect them to a spiritual being and 
such, it's a good thing, though.  So I don't know how relevant this 
comment is to yours, but it got me to think of something.

I also see the Death Eater's mark as branding.. You know the whole 
burning flesh thing when Voldie calls his servants to his side. It 
reminds me of the markings on cattle, this marking shows that the 
animal is owned by a particular rancher. Obviously, Voldie sees his 
followers as his property, less than him, they are only to be used. 
As 1910 suggested, the Dark Mark is a curse or even a spell so that 
when the time comes (after he "defeats" the good side I suppose) he 
can have control over those who will protect his kingdom. The Pure 
blood families that entrusted to Voldie have totally traped them 
selves in a cage. 

Now, the question is, what will the slatterhouse or the pin that 
will await the marked ones?     

We may never know if Harry triumphs over Voldie.
