Tattoo Dream Meaning
Dream interpretation
If you dream of having a tattoo made with henna on your hand, it indicates that you may be engaging in deceitful behavior for your livelihood or trying to trick others. This type of dream serves as a warning that your actions may be revealed, and your enemies could stand against you. Therefore, be cautious and strive to walk the path of honesty, as the consequences of deceit are always dangerous.
Ibn Sirin
Tattoo — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Tattoo" (page 429).
If a person sees his hands tattooed with henna in a dream, it means that he cheats to earn his livelihood, or that he tricks others to get what he needs. Consequently, he will be exposed and his enemy will rejoice at his misfortune. If a woman sees her hands tattooed in a dream, it means that she will trick someone to repossess her rightfully owned jewelry. If the tattoo is made with gold in the dream, it means performing an old but a polite trick. If the tattoo is done with mud in the dream, it means praising God Almighty. If a woman sees
430 IBN SEERIN'S the lines of her tattoo mixing together, or as though the dye has started to run in the dream, it means difficulties with her children. Ifa man sees his feet dyed and tattooed in a dream, it means that he will be tried with family problems. If a woman sees her feet dyed and tattooed in a dream, it means that she will suffer from an abusive husband. (Also see Dye; Henna)
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
