Tattoos are worn by almost every Dauntless in the city.
  • Location- Housed in a large, underground cavern with a glass roof, which is their only natural source of sunlight, that they call “The Pit.” In the Pit, there are shops, tattoo parlors, and various paths to dormitories, living spaces, the Dauntless HQ, arena and training room.

  • From what we know, most Divergents are a combination of Abnegation and Dauntless
