Personal symbolism
A tattoo marks the body in a lasting, visible way, so consider whether the dream focused on your own marked skin, someone else’s, or the act of tattooing. Your body appearing tattooed is tied to difficulty and a long, tedious absence from home. Tattoos on other people point to unusual loves that make you an object of jealousy. If you were the tattooist, the image connects a desire for unusual experiences with distance from friends. The role you occupied in the scene changes its meaning; notice which relationship or setting felt most important.
