Tonks was not blasted off the tapestry, she was never ON the 
tapestry.  Her mother married a muggle born wizard, and this marriage 
is not represented either, it's what got Andromeda blasted off.


[Sirius said]
"Of course, anytime the family produced someone halfway decent they 
were disowned.  I see Tonks isn't on here.  Maybe that's why Kreacher 
won't take orders from her - he's supposed to do whatever anyone in 
the family asks him..."
"You and Tonks are related?" Harry asked, surprised.
"Oh yeah, her mother, Andromeda was my favorite cousin." said Sirius, 
examining the tapestry closely. "No, Andromeda's not on here either, 
look-"
He pointed to a small round burn mark between two names, Bellatrix 
and Narcissa
"Andromeda's sisters are still here because they made lovely, 
respectable, pure-blood marriages, but Andromeda married a muggle 
born, Ted Tonks so--"
