In Native American legend, a dream catcher hung upon the window will catch all your nightmares. I guess that's why it won't work when it's on your body. But at least you'll look trendy for the season. Dream catcher designs are some of the most popular tattoos of the past few years. Rest assured that regardless of their mass appeal, they are still a prominent folk tale within the Native American community. 2. Lucky or Unlucky Numbers Here's a unique way to really drive yourself mad. Instead of looking at the sunny side when you tattoo the numbers "7" or "13", begin to question their lucky merit instead. Perhaps that number "7" is going to bring upon 7 years worth of bad luck? And let's just say lucky number 13? Taylor Swift BELIEVES it to be good luck and draws it on her hand before every show with makeup. But what if she's wrong? There's a reason many architects skip that floor on a building. Hmm...makes you think. 3. Feathers Have a child who just flew the nest? How depressing. What about the loss of a loved one or a family pet, such as the beloved parrot? A feather tattoo surely fits the bill. Feather tattoos can also represent modern crime, as they've become quite a popular prison/gang design in lieu of the teardrop. In this photo, the feather pays homage to the Harry Potter series. For more witch and pagan tattoos, click here. And be sure to get inspired for a Lord of the Rings tattoo here. 4. Guns Gun tattoos can have many meanings. From representing the forces in a > Military style, to keeping things wild with a western inspired tattoo, guns can also have a negative reputation. Often associated with danger, pair your gun up with a skeleton and you have something even more morbid to think about. 5. Vampire/Twilight Tattoos 
KylehighdefIt's OK to be a brooding actor, just look at how far London-bred Robert Pattinson went with that same attitude. For a depressing, goth, emo-inspired tattoo, nothing beats a Twilight inspired design. From wolf fangs in honor of Jacob, to vampire bites right on your neck from the charming man of the night, or a simple script tattoo with your name, Bella.
