I believe this might have something to do with the tattoo. It is an open wound. A permanent scar from what Deaton states. In the first episode, we are told one meaning of tattoo is an open wound.

I think that Scott, Stiles, Allison are going through a rite of passage. Ancient rituals such as these teach important lessons but leave permanent marks or scarring. Or open wounds. And that isn't always a bad thing. They are growing up...maybe sooner than they want but in Beacon Hills, they need to...but that is just what I believe.
