These are tattooed onto the main characters, Sam and Dean, so that demons cannot possess them.

Pentagrams have meant lots of lots of things over history. Today, they are most commonly associated with the union of five elements (which is irrelevant here), and protection. So the symbol at least makes sense in the fictional scenario. Read more: Gallery of pentagrams and their meanings through the ages The fireburst was created for the show. However, people have since starting tattooing it on themselves and working it into jewelry.
In Supernatural
The symbol of the Men of Letters, a secret organization that gathered information about the supernatural which they would then feed to hunters.
Normally
In real life it’s generally called the unicursal hexagram. It was created by the 19th century Hermentic Order of the Golden Dawn and was made famous by Aleister Crowley. The more common form of a hexagram is two overlapping triangles and is sometimes known as the Star of David. It is the union of opposites, particularly the spiritual and material. Having a symbol that can be traced without repositioning the pen (as is the case with this symbol) is often valuable in occult practices.
In Supernatural
The symbol is used in a summoning ritual.

Most directly it is the seal of the planet Saturn, which would be used to attract the influences of Saturn. However, it is also used in conjunction with Azazel, a fallen Angel. I confess I thought this one’s connection with Azazel was total BS until I started looking things up.

It’s called the Grand Pentacle and comes from the Key of Solomon. The Key of Solomon is all about summoning and binding demons, so this gets darn close. To be clear, it was about both summoning andbinding. No one was pledging themselves to demons. The Sigil of Ameth is very similar is design and was used by John Dee to summon (although not trap) angels.
In Supernatural
The Supernaturalversion is on the left. As a Devil’s Trap, it’s purpose as the same as the above, but it is much easier to create. Sam and Dean normally spray-paint these on the floor.

These are bullshit, so far as I can tell, although it is clearly inspired by the Pentagram of Solomon (at right), found in the Key of Solomon. The squiggles in the version on the left are just squiggles.
Enochian is a language revealed by John Dee in the Renaissance via his seances with angels. I honestly originally thought they just scribbled shapes, but upon further examination, they really did use Enochian letters. What does it say? Depends who you ask. Some people have picked out phrases, while others say it’s mostly a collection of random lett...
In Supernatural
This symbol is part of the Enochian runes on Sam and Dean’s ribs.
Normally
The image originates in the sixteenth century Italian Grimoirium Verumor “Grimoire of Truth,” and it is used to invoke Lucifer as the lightbringer. Because of the common custom of equating Lucifer with Satan, it is also known as the Seal of Satan. Supernaturalconsiders Lucifer an angel, albeit a fallen one, rather than a demon. This is the common occult idea of Lucifer. Thus, he is commonly not equated with Satan by people who use it (other than Satanists, although their idea of Satan is more...
