A Dream About Having a Tattoo on Your Ribs - dream meaning with inherited lore
A tattoo in a hidden place like the ribs may be a scene where you reflect on a meaning you keep for yourself rather than show to others.
You discover a tattoo on your ribs beneath your clothes. You may run your hand over the mark that no one could see, or hesitate over whether to show it to someone.
Korean lore: Traditional interpretations of tattoos are not broadly fixed; they generally see them as meanings carried for a long time in a mark carved into the body. If the tattoo is in a hidden place, it may also symbolize a personal commitment or a story kept concealed. (It draws on a general folk-dream-reading tradition that sees tattoos less as decorations shown to others and more as marks remaining on the body.)
Through the mind: It may reflect feelings you have not fully shared with anyone, or a wish to hold on to your own standards. Even if you seem fine on the outside, such a scene may arise when you are going through an important change inside.
