Ha. The little bit I got on my elbow sucked pretty bad.
Oh I didnt mean the pain.

The spider web is a very common coded tattoo, whose meaning is wildly varying. In North America, this tattoo is commonly found on the elbow, but sometimes on the face.

Most commonly, the spider web means prison time or murder, but its variations are somewhat more complex.

The older meaning of the spider web tattoo is that a person has murdered another in prison. This ends up being a self-protective tattoo, warning others to stay away.

This tat can also mean that the wearer has killed an enemy, which would also be a warning to potential future enemies. Some people indicant that the number of rings represents the number of people killed.

Some also report that a spider web on the left elbow means the wearer is packin’ heat, (or got a gun, and not afraid to use it).

On the white-power side, a spider web commonly means that the perpetrator has killed an African-American man. There have been several documented cases of prosecutions based on white-power aficionados attempting to ‘earn’ their spider web.

For most people, the spider web represents prison time in general. The number of concentric circles corresponds to the number of years spent in jail. Alternately, the spider web can mean three to five years in jail and color in the tattoo means a longer prison term.

My take and the streets of filfy stockholm has always been that it means you're caught in the web.

In any case here is some of my Sak Yant.

As a collector of many myself here's the last one my wife did on me based off a painting she did for me last father's day. Our daughters name is Alice.

I want to get my son and daughter birthdate's in roman numerals. One is left hand and the other is right handed. I think it would be cool to have them on the corresponding sides of my body. I just dont know where to put them. I have other tattoos, they all have significant reasons. Like these would. Any ideas on locations?

It's a commitment but on your knuckles would be solid
