Tribal Spider Tattoo

Tribal Spider Tattoo
The spider tattoo has been associated with a lot of things in the world today. For some, thee tattoo can only be a representation of the time you spent behind bars in prison, while others perceive it as a person whose web of life crossed path with the KKK. The same tattoo on the elbow would occur as implying a skinhead who have issues with his environment, a derelict and an anti-everything person; anti racist, anti gay, as well as a rubber stamp of a skinhead in prison behind the shadow of death on death row, murder depicted on the forehead. For other type of societal menace, it's just a reminder to them and others that they had the pleasure of serving a sentence for a specific number of years. It would not be a surprise if the spider tattoos does not fall short of depicting the number of people whom one has given an express ticket to the labyrinth of death.

Tribal Scorpion Tattoo Designs


Most of the modern tattoo art we see today are said to have originated from the tribes of the Polynesian islands. The tribal designs have been both a mix of tribal heritage and modern creative ingenuity. Modern tribal tattoo art consists of abstract designs, shapes and symbols. They also include a variety of animal figures abstracted to give that tribal look.

It has been known before that tattoos serve as protection in as much as magic amulets have been known to give the wearer. Tattoos were also made as a form of solidifying a person, or even a clan's identity. Today, imbued with this rich history, many people have been immersed with the tattoo arts and have had inked themselves as part of their identity. A prominent tattoo design that exhibits a person's identity are the animal designs, one of which we will be looking at is the tribal scorpion tattoo.

One of the prevalent designs in the tribal art is the tribal scorpion tattoo. This is basically a Scorpion tattoo inspired by the tribal art. The color lines of this tattoo are generally dark and black. Some artists prefer a simple scorpion design, but others however, add the abstraction and the quirky lines that sets tribal designs at par with the others.

The scorpion, as embodied by the tribal scorpion tattoo, is both a symbol and an animal that personifies power, intensity, passion and mystery. Hence this design has attracted, and is still attracting a lot of people. This tribal design is a hit to most teenagers, and is also generating a good number in the adult tattoo community. This is definitely one design to ponder on when getting a tattoo.
