Five dots tattoo
The five dots tattoo is a tattoo of five dots arranged in a quincunx, usually on the outer surface of the hand, between the thumb and the index finger.
The tattoo has different meanings in different cultures—it has been variously interpreted as a fertility symbol,[1] a reminder of sayings on how to treat women or police,[2] a way members of People Nation or Nuestra Familia affiliated gangs identify themselves (People gangs use the number five, while Folk Nation gangs use six), a recognition symbol among the Romani people,[2] a group of close friends,[3] standing alone in the world,[4] or time spent in prison (with the outer four dots representing the prison walls and the inner dot representing the prisoner).[5]
Thomas Edison had this pattern tattooed on his forearm.[6]
