Do we have a specific tag for this?:
Or is this adequately covered by facial marking and/or body writing?

several people are using face_writing for some time now. there was writing_on_face before too, but too few (a couple i think) to request an alias.
We have facial_marking *and* facepaint. I think using facial_marking for 'drawing on faces'-type images (e.g. circles around eyes, tic-tac-toe on cheeks) and facepaint for purposefully applied paint (e.g. war paint, avant-garde makeup) would be a useful distinction.
Whatever happens, the relevant wikis should be updated to note that drawings like the kind in those two example images are prototypical punishments for losing at hanetsuki (and other traditional New Year's games that I can't find tags for, like karuta and fukuwarai).
facial_marking is aliased to facial_mark, of which the wiki defines it as "Any type of markings on the face, whether it is the exposed forehead, cheeks, chin, eyelids, cheekbones and such."
post #828417 is tagged facepaint, which is certainly not what I'd associate it with. Facepainting is stuff like face-flags, dressing up like a tiger and ritual body-painting.
