Iam pretty sure the spider web on your left elbow means you have done jail time and spider webs on both elbows means you have done prison time...Iam pretty sure.
@grey1pvc and everyone else, The teardrop ORIGINALLY meant you were a child molester from Austrailia, then later became in America meaning either someone close to you had been killed, you got revenge or you killed someone for your prison gang. (NOT just mexicans) now people get it if someone close to them died while they were locked up. Spderwebs simply mean struggle in life.
never seen the back and forth motions to make a line.
1. teardrop means either someone from your (chicano) hood was killed. or you did a killing on behalf of your hood(gang). 2. spiderwebs on your elbow used to represent how many years your sentence was. each horizontal line meant a year. so from the middle each "ring" going around your arm meant a year. when i was in high school the main tattoo shop in town wouldnt do tattoos that had those meanings unless you obviously held the credentials.
This piece is for my friend Danny. Danny was a good friend of mine that killed himself over 10 years ago. All Danny left me was a stain on my heart that I feel every January 5th. No matter how many years go by, no matter what I do or where I go, there he is and there he'll always be... caught in my web.
Symbolism is not generic or stereotypical for that matter. It's a personal thing and quite honestly, none of your business.
lol. dude. you're fucking retarded. ask anyone who has the tear drops what they represent, and they'll tell you exactly what I told you. And as for the spider web, I KNOW that it has a bad meaning in some cases, but obviously it represents different things to different people in different areas.
You're just too fucking stupid to understand that apparently.
no the tear drops means you've lost a friend killed in gang violence or hate crimes. The spider web on the elbow definitely has some bad meaning in some cases... I guess here he intends it to ward off bad luck or something...
but mine sucks big time! wish i could get a new one over it. there is nothing worse than have to see that shit in the mirror every day for the rest of my life. yours looks like it is a good one.
getting my right elbow done tomorrow.... i have a good bit of work done allready but i suckkkkkkk at getting tattooed... just wondering where was it most painful at... probly back of arm im guessing
i got my birthdate in roman numerals on going down the back of my arm to my elbow. i didn't feel anything at all. just felt heat, like if someone is rubbing rubber or carpet against your skin, but not to the point where your like "ow fuck" just like an ouch. dunno if you catch my drift. and i got cross in the center of my upperback, that one hurt the most.
i guess it depends on the artist. if you have shitty linework, then i'd think that would fade rather quickly, especially if you don't take care of it. find a good artist with crisp clean linework, and you'll be fine.
skinhead oi

Doesn't a spider web on the elbow represent the killing of a minority in some cases? Hopefully that doesn't apply here...
langerCAN 2 years ago
originally i think it meant that you killed someone and went to jail for it but now its more of a gang sign or because it looks cool i guess
