Amazing Dreamcatcher Tattoo - Inked By Black Poison Tattoos

Most of us are familiar with the dreamcatcher – a hoop containing a woven mesh and feathers and beads hanging from it. However most people don’t know it’s true origins. Whilst the dreamcatcher is generally just associated with American Indian culture, it wasn’t until the 60’s and 70’s that it was adopted as an American Indian symbol.

It’s actual origins are with the Ojibwe people who have an ancient legend about the spider woman Asibikaashi who would take care of the children on the land. The dreamcatchers were constructed and hung above children’s beds to work like a charm and only allow good dreams to enter that persons mind.

Nowadays dreamcatchers a more a symbol of American Indian heritage and their overall underlying beauty, but to some they still believe that the dreamcatcher will get rid of any bad dreams.
