Yes, yes I know that, but it never mentions a death eater tatoo on 
Peter, so thats why I thought Sirius could possibly be a death eater 
without the presence of the "give-away"tatoo .

Having trust in someone is one thing, but knowing whether that trust 
is valid is quite another thing. I'm just saying enough clues have 
been thrown out there in the previous books, that if JKR wanted to, 
she could develope Sirius as a character who betrays Harry.
