Chris Weitz decided it would be a visual aid to have the five men all have the same tatoo so that they were easily recognisable as the wolf pack. But don't worry, every single change that Weitz makes to the film is okayed by Stephenie Meyer herself, which means its nothing that she wouldn't have done herself if she had chance to re-write the books.
It's symbolic and makes them seem more like a pack.
The new moon wolf pack in the Twilight series has tattoos because they are part of the Quileute tribe and the markings are a traditional symbol of their heritage and connection to their wolf ancestors. The tattoos also represent their wolf form and pack identity.
In 'New Moon' Jacobs pack grows to 10
