Tai-San introduced the pentacle as a symbol that would identify all members of the tribe back in Ep.6 of S2. It was universally on the left hand. Above we see Tai-San's hand and Bray's. We guess it's meant to be permanent, like a tattoo. As time went by it seems Cloud9 forgot to apply it to all the cast, no doubt assuming we'd all forgotten about it.
 
Now we're into Season 4, it seems the Mallrat pentacle will be important again, and the Mallrats have all got them back. The only problem is, in many cases, they've reappeared on the wrong hand.... Then Mouse has one, albeit on her left hand, despite the fact she's only just arrived and hadn't formally been received as a member of the tribe. She'd need to ask, or to agree, but to date she hadn't uttered a word - except to her brother. Then to cap it all, Pride gets one on his right hand in Ep. 14..
 
I got bored after Episode 16, but that was enough to prove the point.
