Yes, Doctor, You Can Derive A Meta From A Single Picture
This just proves my brain is starved (look, it's practically anorexic) for something SPN-related to think about. Spoilers ahoy!

*waves* Hi! Sorry, I usually don't keep track of my flist unless someone taps me on the shoulder and says, "hey, pay attention to me!" so thanks for saying something. *friends back happily*
I think that there is a good possibility that these are just protective pentagrams meant to keep bad guys outstab Sam and/or Dean in the heart
I don't know if my heart could survive another stabbing.
So one can assume the a small cut by a knife, deep enough to get as deep as the ink of the tattoo would render the DT useless.
*chuckles* I think you're going to give me a heart attack with all this talk of bodily harm; the torture scene in 3x08 almost did me in. But, yes, that all makes perfect sense. Using protective pentagrams (if that's what they are) is quite clever. I'm surprised we haven't seen them before. However, the boys demon knowledge has been shown to be quite spotty (isn't that Bobby's expository purpose?).
SPN comes back January 31st, and this episode airs February 7th. Check HERE for the ETA note.
Thanks! Huh. I was getting episode info from here:
http://www.tv.com/supernatural/show/30144/episode_guide.html?season=3&tag=season_dropdown;dropdown;2
which has contraditory info (although the episode title for 3x09 is wrong, undermining their credibility). *shrugs*

Oops! What I meant to say was that I think that if someone was trying to get a demon out of Sam or Dean (or both) that they would stab them in the heart unless there was no other way...stabbing would be the absolute option. I should have reread that bit before posting.

That's the thing, isn't it? Why would they get protective pentagrams tattooed to their chests, when I definitely remember Bobby giving them anti-possession charms(at the end of BUABS). Unless the tattoos are stronger...?
ETA: Also I was looking at my old Anatomy&Physiology textbook and trying to approximate what exactly might be damaged if one of them might be stabbed. I am no expert, but the heart looks to be below the tats, though depending on the angle it could possible be reached. The aorta might also get hit, again depending on the angle. The lung starts a lot higher in the chest and I think would be most likely to be punctured...um kind of a biological science nerd, sorry. ;]

That's an option. It just seems rather ... permanent and almost desperate. It's not like trading in salt-loaded cartridges for real shells or loading the Colt/Taurus with silver bullets on occassion. Marking one's body seems like more of a last ditch effort to do *something*, and I guess that's what's got me so intrigued.

*meep* Heart, aorta, lungs, they're all rather critical organs. Hopefully the boys' stay intact for a good long while, but it's interesting to examine the deathly possibilities. :)

Oh, don't apologize for being a science nerd. *puts on science hat* Scientists are fun. :)
