Dreaming of a Tattoo

tattoo, body art, tat · negative

A tattoo foretells a long absence, jealousy and distance from friends.

What happens in the dream

  • Your body is tattooed: some difficulty will force a long, tedious time away from home
  • You are a tattoo artist: a taste for the unusual will estrange you from friends
  • Others are tattooed: unusual romances will make you the object of jealousy

How you felt

  • Identity: the dream may reflect a wish to mark who you are
  • Permanence: it can echo fear of an irreversible choice

Ask yourself

  • What has left a lasting mark on me?
  • Which choice am I afraid I can't undo?
