Spider Tattoo Photo #3306

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.

Sketch-style tattoos replicate the look of pencil or pen drawings, often including visible construction lines and loose strokes. The intentionally unfinished quality gives the design an artistic, work-in-progress feel.

The upper arm is a classic tattoo placement with enough space for medium to large designs. It's easy to cover with a short sleeve and serves as a natural starting point for a half or full sleeve.
