A dream about explaining a tattoo's meaning - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may reveal a wish to help others understand a choice that matters to you.
Someone points to your tattoo and asks why you got it, and you explain the meaning of the image or words. They may nod, or your explanation may not come across clearly.
Korean lore: Traditionally, a scene explaining the meaning of a mark etched into the body has sometimes been interpreted as declaring one’s will or choice. It may also be seen as expressing a wish to be understood by someone. (This interpretation is based on the folk-dream tradition of reading body marks as symbols of personal will and identity.)
Through the mind: You may have spent energy trying to help the people around you accept your choices or way of life. You may be carrying both the pressure to explain yourself to everyone and the wish for your sincerity to be understood.
