Finding the Meaning of Your Dream about Tattoos

by Aya Hajime 86 Comments

Tattoos symbolize permanence, self expression, creativity, and transformation. As a result, when we dream of tattoos,

  • We may be ready to make a greater commitment, with respect to a relationship, job, belief, or something else that is both personal and significant.
  • We may need to express ourselves to others, show our skills, and share the fruits of our talent.
  • We may yearn to explore our creative side, want to stand out, break from the pack, and step out beyond the bonds of cultural and societal norms.
  • We may be looking for change and transformation, either in ourselves, in a relationship, or in some other important aspect of our life.

Finding Meaning in Your Dream of Tattoos

In the past, tattoos also served as marks to indicate a particular status or rank, membership to a particular group or religion, and an acknowledgement of certain skills or achievements. Today, this is similar to the function of badges, printed emblems on clothing, and printed cards. Tattoos were also used as talismans to protect us from harm.

In addition to the general symbolism of tattoos, the meaning of our dream will also be dependent on –

  • The details of the tattoo including color, whether it is text or image, as well as subject matter.
  • The location of the tattoo(s) on the body.
  • Whether the tattoo appears on us or somebody else.
  • Our interaction (if any) with the tattoo.

Meaning of Tattoo Dreams

Visual Details of Our Dream Tattoos

One of the most popular subject matter of tattoos are pledges of love. For example, our dream tattoo may be the name of our spouse or partner. It could also be the name of our child, sibling, or friend. Other common love symbols include the apple, a rose, heart, dove, or cupid.

Love tattoos indicate that we are ready to commit ourselves to the person. There may also be a lack of communication in our relationship, which makes us want to better express our love and feelings.

There are as many forms of love as there are moments in time.
~~[Edmund Bertram, Mansfield Park]

Love tattoos indicate that we are ready to commit or that we need to better express our love and feelings.

Another popular group of tattoo symbols are of animals (real or fantasy). Many tattoo animals including the dragon, tiger, or lion are symbols of strength and power. Others may signify intellect (fox, owl, eagle), luck (rabbit, goose), or spirituality (unicorn, phoenix). Animal tattoos show a need to share or express our power, wisdom, good fortune, or faith, to others.

Finally, tribal tattoos also appear in many circumstances. Tribal tattoos were originally worn –

  • As a form of camouflage,
  • To indicate membership of a particular tribe, or
  • To indicate rank or achievement.

When we dream of tribal tattoos, it may signal a hidden message, a need to belong, or a wish for greater status and success.

Our animal totems are chosen to express or capture one or more important aspects of our personality.

Finally, how our dream tattoo is rendered also contributes to its meaning.

  • A colorful or visual dream tattoo indicates creativity, joy, and passion.
  • A black or textual dream tattoo suggests simplicity, logical expression, as well as a more serious or focused purpose.

Body Location of Our Dream Tattoos

If our dream tattoo is on a part of the body that is often hidden by clothes, then we may have a secret that we are too shy or fearful to confess. For example, hiding a rose or heart tattoo in our dream, may signify that we have a secret relationship that we want to share, but are unable to.

The exact location of our dream tattoo also carries meaning-

  • Hands and armsWe use our hands and arms to greet others, to protect, as well as to create great works of art, grow food, invent, and more.Dream tattoos that are situated on our hands and arms are very powerful, because they relate to friendship, protection, and creation. For example, if we have a tattoo of our boyfriend’s name on our arm, it may mean that we want to protect him and keep him safe.
  • Legs and feet
    Our legs and feet carry us to new worlds, allow us to explore, as well as search for that which was lost. As such, leg dream tattoos are associated with travelling, journeys, and transformation. It may represent a physical journey or a spiritual journey.

    For example, a dream rose tattoo on our leg may imply that we need to embark on a journey to find new love or recapture a love which was lost. It may be a physical journey, a transformation of our physical self (change of appearance), or a transformation of our spiritual self (change in thinking and belief).

We use our hands and arms to greet others, to protect, as well as to create.
  • Head
    Our head is where we think great thoughts, develop creative ideas, and refine our beliefs. As such, a head tattoo relates more to the emotional or spiritual, rather than to the physical and mundane.
  • Body
    The trunk of our body is where material utilization and absorption occurs. Our lungs process air, our stomach processes food, and our heart pumps these nutrients to the other parts of our body.

    A body tattoo implies a material or physical relation. For example, a lion tattoo on our body may indicate physical strength and power, whereas if it is on our face or head, then it may indicate spiritual strength instead. A heart dream tattoo on the body may indicate lust, but one on the head may symbolize spiritual love or devotion.

  • Neck
    Our next connects our head (spiritual plane) to our body (material plane), thus it is often associated with risk, balance and equilibrium. It also contains our voice box, so it is also a symbol of communication.

    A neck dream tattoo may signal something that needs to be communicated with all haste, a risk that we need to take, or that there is a lack of equilibrium in certain aspects of our life.

Having many tattoos on our body implies a great need for self expression. In particular, we may have many repressed thoughts and emotions that have accumulated over a long period of time. We may also have trouble communicating our thoughts, and may need some help in this area.

If we dream of having a different tattoo design in the same location as a real-life tattoo, then we may be feeling like we are living a lie, or pretending to be somebody we are not.

Person Wearing Our Dream Tattoos

We should also pay close attention to who is wearing the tattoos.

If the tattoos are on our own body, then we are the ones who need to better express ourselves, to transform, be creative, or step outside our comfort zone.

If the tattoos are on somebody else, then –

  • We may be missing or overlooking something in our relationship with that person. It can also mean that the person is trying to get our attention, or is feeling neglected.
  • We may yearn to have what the other person has.
  • We may need to help somebody else express their feelings, offer a shoulder to cry on, or offer support in a stressful time of change.

If in our dream, we are a tattooist, then we may be looking to have a greater impact on the lives of others. Perhaps we currently feel disconnected, and want to leave something of ourselves behind, in the people around us.

Being a dream tattooist could also express a need to experience something new, that is outside the bounds of societal norms.

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
~~[Henry David Thoreau]

Our Interaction with the Dream Tattoos

Finally, we want to consider how we interact with the tattoos in our dream.

  • If we are trying to remove the tattoo, then we may be having difficulties ending a bad relationship.
  • If we are praising the tattoo or otherwise interacting with it in a positive way, then it may capture an attribute that we want to cultivate in ourselves.
  • If we are drawing over the tattoo or trying to change it through other means, then we may be discontented with our current circumstances, and be seeking transformation.
  • If we are trying to convince others to get our tattoo, then we may want to teach, share our wisdom, and perhaps guide the people around us.

Lives of great men all remind us,
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us,
Footprints on the sands of time.
~~[Henry Wadsworth Longfellow]

    Hello,

    I just had a dream of getting a tattoo on my arm to hands. I remember it being a kite, combine with red biting lips. And I think green leaves. & a black line/string connecting them all.. For some reason it was 3:30 am.
    My daughter was there and a homeless guy who draws was there. (Drawing the girl tattling me & the tattoo on my arm) It was suppose to be b&w but then the tattoo lady consciences me to be color. I’m not sure what the kite color was. Then right before I woke up I saw the face of a guy I met a few months ago, (we met and talked for 4/5 hours and never spoke again.)

    Are you able to help me interpret this dream?

    Thanks.

    My dream was about trying to save some friends, but later ended up with me talking to person in charge. He told me to get the arrow for him.
    Gave me a card. Went down hallway. They asked me a few questions. I said, I’m supposed to say I’ll take the arrow.
    They tattooed two arrow heads on my neck. Close to looking like a heart. He got the actual stick part of arrow. They told me one side meant soul and other meant body belonged to him now.
    Later in dream we were supposed to go to function. We were assigned different people. So, we were looking it up.
    Was a picture of him and me kneeling together like a covenant. Woke up.

    Hi so I’ve just woken up to a dream having a load of tattoos. I went in wanting one. looked in the mirror and I had two black symbols/ shapes on my neck and chest in a line about size of human fist and then on my left arm a canvas of spaced out randomly lots of tiny symbols all black Tatoos. Then my right arm looked amazing so details writing near wrist and then just stunning sleeve. I don’t remember what it said but pattern sleeve was soo clear and colourful. I went into bathroom…. there was something on the bathroom door hanging I took it off put it outside of the bathroom door on the floor and closed the door. (I don’t know why but I feel Like the door was important action!) I could feel myself getting excited to look in the mirror. And I looked at my tattoos on my neck it was now a tattoo of the genie from Aladdin covering half of my neck with genie laughing and mouth half open and other half genie again they were half and half but like one was laughing and other just relaxed. It was the same colour as genie the strong blue colour. I tilted my head back to see tattoo more. Then tilted it forward and just see blue line as if nothing was there. I do suffer from CPTSD and split personality and my dreams are pretty crazy would be great if someone could enlighten me on what this dream means. Thanks

    Last night I had a dream that I was supposed to get married, and before the marriage I’m supposed to be marked. My mother, grandmother and my mother-in-law (?) Took me to a tattoo parlor and I was forced to choose one. They all looked nice. I saw a rose, a bird, other different coloured flowers, vines. Then I saw sea creatures. Since I didn’t want any tattoo because I know that having that means I can’t make it into the gates of heaven, my own Christian family that believes that as well, asked the man to give me a goldfish. He started putting the goldfish on my ankle up, but I only got to see the red outlines of it. It had no colour, and it wasn’t even black. It was just the outlines of the fish on my skin, and it was burning. What could that mean?

      Fish is the symbolism of Christianity. Jesus was a Fisher or men, perhaps your calling in life is to bring salvation to people. Seek God. The time is coming for the Bridegroom Jesus to appear. He is calling you. He has marked you for his purpose.

I had dreamt that when I was 20 cause I’m 13 now I had a bunch of red and blue lines on my arms and when you look closer at them there are many dragon tattoos and they had like an ancient language writing in each one and I remember one of my real life friends who’s a doctor/scientist texting me about one of the writing and translated it to the symbol “HATCHET” and she had had also told me that the dragons meant power and the writing translated symbol (hatchet) meant to keep me alive and a bunch of other weird stuff and then I hearted a voice but I didn’t recognize it and it said that I was the god of the gods!?!? And the the dragons send me the combined power of the gods or their symbols to be power , love ,determination ,life , death ,and everthing . but the scariest part of it was I have an actual friend who’s a doctor and great friends also with my mom who love symbols and gods and then when I woke up I google hatchet symbol and its in Christ bible and an actual thing and this dream was so scary that I had to share this for I’m scared like crap.

I dreamt I was going to get it redone/ covered up and when I saw it, it ended up being massive and basically all over both sides of my neck. I don’t really remember what it was of but there was colour in it and a gap in the middle of my neck. I know I didn’t like it and was mortified that I had tattoos on my neck.

    I had a dream that this guy I have a thing with were confronting each other, and somehow after that he showed me the tattoos he had on his back; the tattoos were a bunch of quotes written in black, plain simple font. He doesn’t have tattoos in real life but wants one. I don’t remember what the quotes were saying. But then, I guess I didn’t like how the tattoos were designed, so I “erased?”/changed them, and recreated them using a better font (still black but in cursive). Although, I didn’t get to finish one of the quotes written on his lower back. Can you explain the meaning of this?

    I woke up remembering that I had just had just dreamed like it was my second life again. People I know where there family I haven’t seen in years. I was a few years younger. Totally different place but yet it wasn’t it was earth. I was being tattooed by an Native American man he is beautiful strong thin. There is a woman his Mother their too it’s the leader his Father tattooing me. They are using a wooden thing with metal on the end and tattooing the back of my left leg. I was scared at first they used sage and sang chants very quietly to calm me I didn’t understand but went into a very calm place and trusted them fully. It felt like it was my destiny. The top of the feather pointed to my foot it covered most of my calf. Outlined in with blue and purple and red there was symbols with in the feather. The beauty and uniqueness is outstanding. The young man and I where Destin to be together. I was brought to him many times after the tattoo. He had a matching one on his back. To be removed from him was painful. They’re was also these white animales pure white that would come by the 100’s by the end when I woke up. They reminded me of farettes but they weren’t. The love the bond between myself and this young man was crazy. The bound seemed to be the tattoos it seem to bring a spell brinding peace to me. I just wish I understood it more. It was BEAUTIFUL

    I drempt a man that I don’t know in real life but apparently just met a few days ago in my dream, got a colorful abstract looking tattoo on his shoulder because he wanted to show me how he felt about me. We were sitting on the ground on a sunny day near a creak bank. His tattoo was a bunch of solid coloured blocks all connected to each other with random letters on some of them in black, gold and silver. I asked him what inspired him to get that tattoo and what the letters meant. He said he had always wanted to get a tattoo on his sholuder to cover up an injury he had a long time ago. When when he met me, he finally knew exactly what to put there. He said that the letters represent things I said to him that were meaningful, and that he’s been meaning to tell me for a long time how he felt. (He made it sound like he’s veen trying to find me for years?) He said he’s never had the courage to say anything to me, until now. Now that he’s finally been able to find me again. He got up off the ground and proposed to me witn a ring on one knee. I felt like I was flatteted, confused and that I loved him, but for me I felt like I just met him, so I thought for a monent and said no. But I tried to explain that I just wanted to get to know him for longer but he was already deflated and sad and my dream had ended.
    I wanted to say yes, but I was also being picky about how he asked me, because he never said will you marry me. He took out the ring and said, “so will ya?” And I wanted him to ask me again in the future properly, sense it’s such an important question?

    His tattoo was on his left shoulder really close to his shoulder blade. His skin was healed unevenly were his injury had been. On the edges of the tattoo there was a lot of solid white blocks.

    I guess that’s about it?

I don’t believe dreams are trying to tell us anything, but now that I’m reading about the meaning of it, I see it’s a correct explanation. Damn 🙂

    I dreamed that I was born with a tatoo a phoenix, of course this changes in times sometimes I go and get it done at a tatoo place. What it doesn’t change is where in my body I go it, in my right shoulder blade, and I know it might sound funny but its a dream, I interact with the tatoo, like I summon the power of the phoenix and I use it to fight, most of the time are demon like monsters.
    I know that dreaming about a phoenix is a good thing, it means change and so on, but I haven’t found anything about dreaming of being/using a phoenix as a weapon.
    Any thoughts??

      I had a similar dream last night. I dreamed of my current ex boyfriend. I ran into him and he had tattoos all over his face and body too. He seemed happy and sad, almost bitter sweet. He ends up telling me he quit his job and moving to another country doesn’t know when he will return so he has to let me go. All his tattoos were pictures. I was trying hard so see if there where any of me. There was one of us kissing, another s picture of me and my cousin. Another was a moving tattoo and it was of me dancing. I was concerned because of his face tatto, look up and see it is mostly gone, like he washed make up off his face.

      Were you having problems with your boyfriend when you dreamed of him being tattooed? I just asked because my boyfriend and myself break is recent and fresh. My dream made me sense he wanted to be with me but in some ways hesitant and wanted to run away forever

    I had a dream where it was just on dark and I started playing with a dog, suddenly the dog attacked something. What ever it attacked I couldn’t see it properly. It was squirming, I thought it was a snake. I raced over to protect it and whilst pulling the Shepard off I saw it was a female person. I grabbed her and she touched my left arm, then I was marked with a small tattoo on the inside of my arm. It just looked like a black squiggle and line. I thought to myself………great the sign of the crow. (sarcasm).
    After reading the symbol of the crow it was spot on. I’d never seen the marking, I was wondering if anyone had?

    I had a dream that I was giving myself tattoos on my thigh. They were really random designs, and there were about five of them. I guess they were drawn on by other people because they had signatures underneath. Seems like I was practicing to be a tattoo artist. Weird dream but I woke up wanting a tattoo.

    I had a dream last night that i had my face tattooed down both sides all i remember is the colour green but not what the tattoo was. Then i looked at it and hated it and was trying my hardest to get it removed. I finally found someone that could remove it but he said it wouldnt be removed completely and i was left with white outlines of this tattoo. Then i woke up. No idea what that means it felt so real… I lost my Dad this year to cancer and my Mom cant take it and took some pills.. (i won’t go into full detail) but she’s ok. I have also just fallen out big time with the ex of 9 years who i have an 11 year old daughter with. Im thinking it might be something to do with all the emotions running through me at the moment.

    I had a dream that a friend of mine got me tattooed all over when I was passed out. I woke up to find several tattoos. I had a large seal with a beautiful blue background on my right shoulder, an aka 47 riffle on the outside of my left leg (completely black) complete from top to bottom, I had Asian markings along with weird lines and symbols on the inside of my right arm, and several more I don’t remember in great detail. I was a little upset she did this without my permission but not as upset as I should have been. The tattoo that I did not like at all was the gun because I am against them but it seemed to me at the time of waking that it symbolized power and strength verses violence. The unusual thing about these tattoos was that I could feel burning in my skin where they were put.

Suddenly he pops up and brushes his hands clean and says “done!” in a happy tone. I look down and see he had tattooed the words “CALL and his phone number” in huge big black block letters. It was down the right side of my left leg starting from my ankle and going up covering all the way up the side of my leg. The dream was in color…and we went somewhere together after that in the dream…thoughts? I dont have a tat in that area…

    I’ve never dreamed about tattoos before, though someday I plan to get a few.

    and last night I dreamed that I got 2 big ones that were the length of my inner forearms. my left arm, had on it a flower that had a Tulip body with 2 extra stem leaves opened at the bottom, and one following the stem up to the bud, which was a cross of tulip and rosebud. The whole flower&stem was colored in red ink with a pink aura and had a similarly painted halo above the bud.
    My right arm had the same shaped flower but it was colored naturally, green leaves, red bud, and instead of a halo, it was a circle of 7 different colored sparkles that created the rainbow spectrum.
    During the dream after they were finished, I was talking with a friend, and was going to show her, and they were gone. And I was sad saying “I guess my skin doesn’t keep tattoos. The ink doesn’t stay.” and I thought to myself during the dream, “well maybe its for the best, Id have to cover them during my job anyway.” But then slowly as the other mundane wandering/chatting of the dream progressed, the flowers started reappearing on my arms, and I was happy they did. Even though I knew it meant Id have to cover them for my work rules, I was glad it stayed on my skin. and as my friend was examining my arm while the flowers were fading back INTO existence she said, “Oh, they must have given you a special kind of ink. it dissapears and reappears but its still there. You’re good~”

    And then the rest of my random dreams continued as normal, but the tattoo segment was very emotional to me during the dream, and stuck with me after. I’d appreciate any extra insight to it’s meaning(s).

    Last night I gad a dream. Actually I don’t have a single tattoo on my body and I am also not much excited to get a tattoo. But what I saw last night in my dream.. Has leaved me with tons of thoughts and mind whirlpools..

    There was this huge tattoo of an eagle covering my chest, shoulders to biceps , stomach till lower abdomen. It was not coloured but infact it was outlined with dark black colour.. Like a black thick marker or anything.. I am still wondering what does this mean?

    In my dream I had various tattoos all over above my elbows, the top of chest I had thug life i believe.. somewhere around that area. On my body I believe I had some freaky things written. I remember on one of my arms above the elbow on the left having my last name Holcomb and I believe my first name before that I jus couldn’t see it. I also had tattoos all over my thighs. ALL OVER above my knees. I went to this game place with my cousins and didn’t expect to get tatoos. In my dream I always wanted them but didn’t know what to get. I was satisfied with how many tattoos I had and all of them I jus didn’t expect to get so many. I remember in the dream my last name was spelled wrong missing the letter B at the end and she had to come fix it. I remember her coming and writing my whole last name somewhere around my chest area in some white coloring and I guess she was going to tatroo over it later. I was satisfied with all my tattoos. Somehow I believe I felt complete at that moment when she did that also. I think I had a heart as one of my tattoos. Then after getting all my tattoos I remember my family like all them sitting at a table and after getting my tattoos I had gotten closer to two of my Aunts. Very close to my Aunt Joy and my Aunt Doris and everyone didn’t understand why I was so much closer to them instead of the normal relationship we had before and like I had with everyone else sitting at the table. They weren’t jealous however. I didn’t get that vibe in the dream from the other family members. What does my dream mean?PLEASE HELP!!!

I remember in the dream their was someone after me because I had that symbol on my hand and the reason I know why was because their was a man protecting me from the person who was trying to get me. I really want to know the full meaning behind the tattoo in the dream.
