Sofia’s tattoo explained

EZ Reyes is romantically involved with a woman named Sofia in Mayans MC Season 4. In episode 7 he drops by her house and brings up the tattoo on her left hand. Sofia has a tattoo of five dots on the back of her hand between her thumb and forefinger.

According to Baklol, the five dots tattoo, also known as the quincunx, symbolizes time spent in prison. The outlet writes, “The four outside dots stand for the prison walls and the dot in the middle represents the prisoner. This tattoo is internationally known and worn by both American and European inmates.” Tattoos often bear significance in Sons of Anarchy and Mayans MC.

Why did Sofia go to prison in ‘Mayans MC’ Season 4?

Sofia points out that she can tell EZ did time as well by the way he is constantly standing on guard. EZ served eight years in prison for killing a cop in the aftermath of his mother’s murder. Sofia reveals that she was in prison for 54 months, or 4 and a half years.

In a previous episode, Sofia told EZ a tragic story about her daughter. Sofia used to play a game with her daughter where she would hide objects in their swimming pool and the two of them would dive for treasures. One night, Sofia was drinking and her daughter wanted to go treasure hunting. After being unable to wake her mother, the little girl tried to go by herself and ended up drowning in the pool.
