I don't think there will be a visible "thing" that is the mark, just like the Lord in the Book of Revelation places His mark on his servants probably won't be a physical mark.
There is other imagery in Revelation that seems to parody Jewish practices. For example, "And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH’" (Rev 17:4-5). This sounds very much like the Jewish high priest (purple robes, gold and jewels, name on forehead).
But I'll consider and ponder on masks.
broad phylacteries and black cubes, i'd rather keep my own that i received from the father, thanks
when we see a figure with red-strapped cloth and purple of tyre, lets be careful who and what we're judging
