Regulus got a secret tattoo at 14 from the Slytherin Head Boy at the time.

When Barty and Evan found out in their 6th year it was hell.

Dorcas was the one that made the joke that he should get one (1) back then.

Pandora was the one that suggested that all of them should get a tattoo that would connect them. For an example if you put your finger on a specific part of the tattoo and hold it there for a specific amount of time it would send a comfortable warmth to the other person (to the part where the other persons tattoo was).

They all got it within a month after Pandoras suggestion.

Reg had the Leo constellation

Barty had the outline of a alstroemeria flower (or a hibiscus flower i can't choose)

Evan had the outline of a phoenix

Dorcas had the outline of a guitar

Pandora had the outline of a bunny/rabbit

A year later and they officially got Emmeline in their group.

She got the outline of a hourglass/sand timer.

Extras

Why did Regulus get a tattoo other than Dorcas suggesting it as a joke?

1. He heard Sirius talk about it.

2. The fact that you could put a picture or a text/name/date etc. on your body and carrying it for all your life fascinated him.

3. He thought maybe it would get him and Sirius to talk more (even tho he never told anyone about it but tbh it wasn't a secret, well it if you weren't Walburga or Orion Black or anyone that would tell his parents about it.)

Why the Leo constellation?

1. Astrology brings him comfort.

2. Thought about getting Canis Major tattooed before he thought about "his" constellation.

3. He choose the Leo constellation bc. he remembered back to the times where Bellatrix, Andromeda, Narcissa and Sirius would point him out and tell him how wonderful and special he should feel bc. he is the brightest little boy they know and bc. he is their little king. It was all before Bellatrix was engaged, before she came from Hogwarts in her 7th year for Christmas and started to lecture her sisters on how irresponsible and stupid they are for how they behaved behind their parents back. It was before Andromeda started to argue back at her and their parent, before she ran away to be with Ted. It was before Narcissa stopped sneaking food for them bc. they weren't allowed to eat any, before she was in a relationship with Lucius Malfoy. All this was before Sirius got to Hogwarts, before he got sorted into Gryffindor, meet all his friends and his boyfriend, before they drove apart, before they stopped trusting the other.

It was before they realized that what they experienced was abuse, before they realized that they can't count on eachother anymore. It was before he realized that he lost all of them.

He faded with them, bc. they where his happiness, his comfort, his safe space, his reason to glow so bright they always told him he did.

Why a alstroemeria or hibiscus flower?

He would get a flower purely bc. it was his mothers favorite flower and while he couldn't include her into the connection, he could include her into the design.

Why a phoenix?

His patronus, he finds great comfort in it and his confidence is boosted with the knowledge of knowing that having an phoenix patronus is quiet rare.

Why a guitar?

1. Reminds her of Marlene.

2. She loves writing songs, little stories even poetry and when she and Marlene got together and she finally showed her what she was always writing Marlene insisted that she would make melodies/tunes (??) that would fit each and every song text she wrote in her journal (with the help of Remus and Mary bc. yes).

Why a bunny/rabbit?

1. She choose it for two of its meanings, good luck and prosperity.

2. It was one of Lilys favorite animal (Lily would have 5 rabbits, 2 cats and a dog and she would have pictures of them with her all the time).

3. She had two, she couldn't get them to Hogwarts but when she came home in the summer (and sometimes in winter) two little grey rabbits would wait for her. :)

Why a hourglas/sand timer?

1. She appreciates everything positive she gets in life bc. she knows someone at the same time doesn't have that luck.

2. She mostly appreciates the time with her friends, family and her girlfriend. It is precious to her and she wants to show people even tho they wouldn't know the deeper meaning of it.

Also Marlene and Mary would get one aswell but they would be only connected to their lovers and eachother.

Marlene with the outline of a quill for Dorcas and her passion for writing. Her passion to write the most beautiful things with only 3 sentences. Her talent that she can take inspiration out of anything, Marlene was sure she could find something in a blank piece of paper. With every new inspiration, new word, new sentence that Dorcas comes up with, she would just fall harder for her and it would feel like heaven to her.

Mary with the outline of the sun bc. Emmeline was her sun, her rain, snow, wind and clouds. She was Marys everything, Marys reminder that she is in fact in a relationship with the love of her life, the woman she was in love with since she was 12 years old and every single time when she looked at her she could feel the warmth that even after a year of dating wouldn't go away.
