Sleep Tattoo Ideas are as serene, quiet, and comfortable as they get. They’re great for anyone who enjoys sleep, dreams, rest, or the night. Some people souvenir themselves like this to signify they love peace. Others tattoo themselves with dreams to indicate that they value them.
You might go for simple designs such as a sleeping moon, stars, or the word “dream.” As they fall asleep, some people choose cartoon sheep, Zzz symbols, or closed eyes. These can range from small and cute to big and artistic. They can be placed on the wrist, neck, back, or arm. Sleeping tattoos are an amazing way to show how much we love sleeping, dreaming, and that peaceful minute or two when we are already awake but are still under the covers.
