What Does The 5 Dots Tattoo Mean

The 5 dots tattoo is a popular tattoo design that is often used to symbolize time done in prison, or time served. Four of the five dots are placed in a square, with one dot positioned above the other four. This design is thought to represent the four walls of a prison cell and the fifth dot representing the time served. The 5 dots tattoo can also symbolize a variety of other things, including the bond between people, North, South, East, West, and the center, and even just being a way to express a design on the body.
