Spider Tattoo Photo #3300

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.

Fine-line tattoos use a single thin needle to create delicate, precise designs with minimal line weight. The result is a subtle, almost sketch-like quality that suits detailed small-scale work.

The shoulder's rounded shape gives tattoos a natural frame, wrapping designs around the deltoid muscle. It's a versatile placement that transitions easily into a sleeve or back piece.
