Spider Tattoo Photo #3294

From the West African trickster Anansi to the Greek myth of Arachne, spiders hold powerful narrative roles across cultures. The visual drama of eight legs and intricate webs gives artists a dynamic subject.

Abstract tattoos break away from literal representation, using shapes, colors, and unconventional compositions to create expressive, non-figurative designs. The style prioritizes feeling and movement over realism.

The inner arm offers a soft, relatively flat surface that suits detailed and sensitive designs. It's a semi-private placement, visible only when the arm is turned or raised.
