Oh, I getcha :) In this universe, Sam has three tattoos: A rune binding tattoo on his left hip; a tattoo of the protection charm Bobby gave the boys after BUABS (left shoulder), and the Eye of Horus between his shoulderblades. (Dean's match Sam's as mirror images, except his third tat is a Labrum, in the center of his back.)
It's a shared map, a shared journey, and Sam gasps when Dean presses his fingers first into the thick scar tissue left from Sam's death two-plus years ago, and then when he digs into the muscles over Sam's left shoulder blade, right where the protection tattoo curls. Bobby gave them the charms right after Sam was possessed and they wore them faithfully, until a year ago when they had the charms tattooed on: Sam's on his left side, Dean's on his right. Side-by-side, like always, like nothing can touch them.
He strokes back down, fingertips skimming lightly until he reaches Sam's left hip and the runes tattooed there; he shivers when Sam mirrors his touch, rubbing over the matching tats Dean has on his right. They're rune bind tats: Berkana for new life, Uruz for strength, Teiwaz as a symbol for warriors and fighting, Algiz for protection, and finally, Wunjo for happiness. It took them six months to decide on the runes and which order they wanted them in, and to find an artist to make the design for them.
Dean rubs harder, remembering the sting of the needle, the electricity that flowed between him and Sam, the buzz afterward that was like no high he'd ever experienced before.
Sam presses his fingers into the small of Dean's back, outlining the Labarum tattooed there. It was part of the ritual Sam worked before literally stealing Dean's soul back from the Demon holding the marker. Dean tries not to think too much about that -- and in fact doesn't remember a lot of it -- but the tat itself is pretty cool, and Sam seems to like to trace it with his tongue, which is also all kinds of okay with Dean.
They each have one tat that doesn't match what the other has: Dean's is the Labarum, and Sam has an Eye of Horus in between his shoulder blades, high up, all gleaming black lines and curves. It was also part of the ritual, protection for Sam. Dean loves to touch it, stroke the curves with fingers and tongue, and feel Sam shudder beneath him. Against him. Feel them shudder and shake as they come apart, together.
