United States
In the United States, the five dot tattoo could mean you are a member of the Blood or People Nation gangs that represent the points on the five-pointed star. It is usually put on the left hand.
It is also a tattoo common for the Oriental Troop gang. The Oriental Troops are Crip-affiliated, but the five dots also represent the "5" in "15," which represents the fifteenth letter of the alphabet: "O" for "Oriental." Also, in the "Oriental Culture", the five dots represent Health, Wealth, Family, Love, and Respect.
It is also a tattoo for Vietnamese gang members. The five dots stand for the five ts, which are, Tình, Tiền, Tù, Tội, Thù, which translates to love, money, prison, crime, revenge.
Five dot tattoos also represents a senior gang member or "OG": original gangster. The original three dots represent the wearer and the homies gangbanging with each other. Adding two more dots represents a gangster who earns the right to command others: the wearer surrounded by others in protection.

From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
