Tattoo
A tattoo — a mark inked permanently into the skin — often touches a long, tedious absence from home, with jealousy through strange loves if seen on others. The dream may ask where something is being indelibly marked into you by an unusual experience, and whether the lasting impression is worth the distance it may put between you and home.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for tattoo, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see your body appearing tattooed, foretells that some difficulty will cause you to make a long and tedious absence from your home.
To see tattooes on others, foretells that strange loves will make you an object of jealousy.
To dream you are a tattooist, is a sign that you will estrange yourself from friends because of your fancy for some strange experience.
