Tattoos in dreams?

I had a dream last night where my hands were tattooed (really badly, I might add!) I know where that came from; it was from questions I answered on here yesterday evening... But it led me to wonder... if you have tattoos, do you see them in your dreams (i.e. is your dream self tattooed, too)? Sometimes I'm aware of my (real) tattoos in dreams, other times not, and I'm curious to know how this works for other people. Or do you ever dream yourself with tattoos you don't have? Good ones? Bad ones? Weird ones?

    I have two types of tattoo dreams. One is where I am very heavily tattooed. The other is where I am tattooing myself. They always freak me out a little. I have one or the other at least 3 times a week. I thought I was the only one........

  • before i start i want to state im covered in tats full sleves the lot im also a tattoo artist so i see lots of tattooes more than your average person

    yes i see tattooes in my dreams but for me i try not to think about them as i work in the studio all day and tattooes are all i think about then so yes if i dream about a tat it is usually a nightmare because when im sleeping im not at work im free

    my tattooes mean things to me and other people wont know the hidden meaning because i have so many my tattooes are a story board of my life e.g if something good hapens or i see a nice view or stunning sight worth remembering i have it tattooed (only really nice things and the things i like e.g i like fishing so i have a huge koi tattoo on my back that is total coverage with the words live free forever. in japanise wrighting underneath ) that is my favorite tattoo

    i have once dremped i had done loads of mistakes in my shop and people had complained that is all tattoo artists nightmare

    anyways apart from that i love my tattooing and i do dream about it all the time

    Tattoo

    To dream that you have tattoos, represents individuality and the desire to stand out in a crowd. You want to be unique and different from everybody else, particularly if you do not have any tattoos in real life. Consider also what the tattoo is.

    I don't dream about my tattoos, ever. I have 3 tattoos.... would have more, but have added to one 3x.

    I have 2 tattoos. One on my hand and one on my leg. When I dream I usually don't have my tattoos. Its weird, but they are just gone, like I never had them at all. I once dreamed I had big wings tattooed on my back and the next morning I woke up and had red marks where they tatoo in my dream was. It was weird.

    Sometimes I see them in my dreams, sometimes I don't.

    There have been times where I've seen tattoos on me that aren't really there. Usually the tattoos are bad, but once in a while they're good.

    Its usually nightmares that I get something like tribal, bad kanji.

    i don't ever remember seeing my tattoos in my dreams but since they are on my back and my feet i guess i usually wouldn't but i have had lots of dreams about getting tattooed. once i had a dream that a friend of mine from high school tattooed me and i forgot to tell my husband i was going to get it done. i only remembered AFTER it was done! and then he came home and he knew. it was horrible!!

    in my dreams i am never in a position to see if i have tattoos or not, but when i think of myself in my imagination, i havent any tatoos, unless i remember, a lot of the time i forget i have them.
