• Spider motif and spider tattoo

The representation of a spider tattoo is usually created in the style of realism. It can be engraved in both color and black-and-gray, whereby it is up to the customer to decide in which size he would like the motif to be depicted and on which part of the body it should sit.

 With appropriate drop shadows, a tattoo artist can depict the spider so realistically that one believes it is actually sitting on the body as a living spider. Since a good spider tattoo in itself already represents a very expressive appearance, it is seldom depicted on a spider web, and even today it is rarely found hanging on a spider thread. A spider on a thread was tattooed in a minimalist way in seafaring times.

Anyone who has a spider tattooed should be a spider lover and not someone who suffers from a spider phobia. Here one should not assume that one should fight a phobia with what triggers the phobia. In this case, at least, that will usually not work.

 They say that if you are afraid of heights, you should go up to a high-rise building under supervision and step as close as possible to the edge of the roof, etc. That is correct, but then you are always in control of the situation and, if you fear increasing, you can leave again Come down the roof. If you have a tattoo on a spider, then you always have the dear animal in the immediate vicinity and cannot simply shake it off.

Meanings of spider tattoos

One of the most representative old school style tattoos is the spider. This image can evoke different emotions, so their meanings are also very different. Although it is an animal feared by most of the people, some have not hesitated to use it in a tattoo in order to represent certain properties that are associated with the spiders.

Spider tattoos usually depict this animal alone or with a spider web (among other motifs), and its meaning varies depending on the depiction of the spider in the tattoo.

There is one general meaning that the spider tattoos represent and that is combat because this animal is associated with the ability to fight, an ability that we can have in different life situations and through which we manage to get ourselves to assert in them.

The web, on the other hand, represents life itself, and its twists and turns and weaves reveal the trials or difficult times that we all must go through at some point in our lives.

The following are the most notable meanings that spider tattoos have received over time.
