Well... there are a few specks of red in Freeds hair during his fight against Mirajane in the episode "Satans Descent", but apart from that the closest we ever see to a real wound is the big bruise Lucy got from Gajeel. Everything else was either rewritten or replaced with those black marks, were you can't tell wether it's supposed to be a bruise or just dirt.
