Hi Nic, I’ve read the posts about marking hedgehogs. The only time I’ve come across this is in rescue centres where there is a litter with no mother to care for them. Once they are stabilised it’s common for them to be marked with small spots of nail varnish on the spines so that the centre can tell them apart when they are in the same cage, one spot, two spots etc. These are very faint though and are usually invisible by the time they are big enough to be released. I can’t imagine why anyone would want to mark a hog for other reasons.
