Some people think it's a tattoo. I mean Havelock is a Navy man and seaman are notorious for having tattoos. Corvo, being a military man himself, could easily be forgiven for ignoring that. This also plays into the others. I mean why would they comment on a tattoo?

Piero, for example, was so wrapped up in himself that the only thing he seemed to notice outside of his work, and his disdain for Sokolov was Callista.

At the party, you can bend time and blink to your heart's content and all you get is some vague gasps of surprise from the attending nobility. I feel that spirits were flowing in excess during the soiree and the nobility wouldn't really have noticed much.

Why would they assume he has magic powers? You can do most of the missions without ever using or relying on powers (hence the Mostly Steel achievement). The Loyalists know Corvo is good at infiltrating, and would only assume this was natural skill.

As for the High Overseer, or any overseer honestly, where does it say that the Mark is known to them? They use music boxes to detect witchcraft and mainly they convict people based off of possession of bone charms and runes. Aside from Daud and the Outsider, nobody really says they know what the symbol means nor do texts mention the Mark of the Outsider as far as I can recall.

Teague mentions seeing the mark, but doesn't specifically say what it is (though he seems to hint at the knowledge). This shows a normal person can see it. While fighting Daud, the Mark on the back of his hand visibly glows which means other Marked people can see it for sure, but do the common folk? We don't know. It doesn't seem so, but that isn't 100% confirmed. It also isn't confirmed that the majority of the populace knows exactly what the odd symbol means anyway. I mean aside from the Mark, that symbol is found at no Outsider shrine or book concerning him that I can recall (though I could be wrong).
