Dream of drawing your own tattoo - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may connect to the wish to express yourself in your own way rather than through an image chosen by someone else.
In a tattoo shop or in front of a mirror, you draw the design yourself and mark it on your body. Even if the lines are crooked or different from what you expected, you try to finish it with your own hands.
Korean lore: Traditionally, directly marking something onto your own body has sometimes been interpreted as a choice or decision you are ready to take responsibility for. It can also be seen as a dream showing an urge to reveal yourself. (It is based on the folk-dream tradition of reading the act of leaving a mark on the body as a symbol of determination and self-expression.)
Through the mind: It may reflect the wish to set your own tastes and thoughts directly, apart from the standards around you, your family, or the atmosphere at work. It may also be a process of accepting the result you chose, even if it is not perfect.
