I've always been pretty interested in dreams, the meaning of them and how to influence them.
Recently I digged a little deeper and read a lot about Lucid Dreaming and one thing that seems to make the whole "process" easier is to do a reality check.

It was often mentioned that something like a dot you draw on your hand can be a good indicator of you being awake, while it's not there in a dream. Since I don't want to paint my body all the time and want to get a tattoo for a long time anyways, I was wondering:

Do you see the tattoos you have in your dreams? Maybe you never noticed or didn't think about it but I'm pretty curious about your experiences :)

Of course I used Google before asking here and found this on reddit but it lacks a bit of replies. Looks like it sure can be used for a RC but depends on the shape of the tattoo? Maybe even the amount of time since you got the tattoo (and being aware of it, subconsciously)?

I lucid dream once in a while (without trying, I just realize I'm dreaming sometimes). From my experience you can't be too conscious that you are dreaming or you tend to wake up. I tried to give myself a lightsaber once, but I woke up instead. It's more like gently pushing the dream in the direction that you want it to go. I do enjoy flying/gliding/jumping in my lucid dreams, the funny thing is it feels like the most natural thing that I somehow forgot :p Also as someone said before me, I dream in first person most of the time (much more like a video game than real life), I tend to not visualize my limbs unless I'm specifically look at them for something.
