I have just finished my first year at university I study Fine Art… All my personal topics this year have been related to dreams ad memories… This tattoo shows my success of first year and its an inspirational piece for me to catch my dreams and keep doing what I love most Art.

…except dream catchers catch BAD dreams. Good luck with that.
Seriously people, stop skewing the meaning of the dream catcher to fit your personal needs. Good dreams come in, bad dreams stay out. That’s it. It means nothing about “chasing your dreams” or “going after what you want” or “success” or whatever the hell else. Pretty sure if you showed up on the rez with that explanation, they’d laugh you all the way back home.

 oh, oh can we do anchor tattoos next? Especially ones that say things like “never sink!” and such?
I love anchor tattoos with “Mum” and “Dad” on them. MY PARENTS ARE A DEAD WEIGHT DRAGGING ME DOWN.
