Spider Tattoo Designs

Spider tattoo designs are one of the most popular and classic tattoos that are worn by some people. Different cultures have different stories about spiders. Spider tattoo designs are often featured in many traditional tribal tattoos around the world. There

was a story by the Native Americans about a certain Spiderwoman who was in existence before humans arrived. It was said that she taught the people the art of weaving. Today spider tattoo designs are a symbol of fertility, balance and harmony. They are also sometimes seen as grandmother, teacher and wisdom protector. The spider can be seen on the clay carvings of the Native Americans where the spider has a cross on its back. According to archaeologists it symbolizes the center of the earth and the four directions: east, west, north, and south.

In India, spider tattoo designs symbolize cosmic order. For them, the spider is a

weaver of reality. The spider is also the creator and the inhabitant of wisdom for these people. Spider tattoo designs can also be related to the Hindu concept of Maya or illusion since the spiders can weave many webs which affect the way you perceive them.

Spider tattoo designs are not particularly famous in Europe because of the Plague when the spider was thought to have been the cause of the spread of the disease. It became something to be feared of and thus the fear of spiders, arachnophobia, was coined. It was named after the Greek maiden, Arachne.

In Greek mythology, there was a tale about a beautiful girl named Arachne. She was such a very good weaver that the goddess Athen became jealous of her. Because of this jealousy Athena made Arachne’s life miserable and that lead to the maiden dying early. The goddess was so regretful of what she had done she resurrected Arachne as a spider so she could spin her beautiful webs for ever. Today spider tattoo designs and their webs mean something that is deceitful. This is so because if you look at those webs that catch victims, you will know that this is the end of them. They are just waiting to be devoured by the spider.

Spider tattoo designs have achieved a special meaning in prison and in gangs. This is the language used in prison. Usually spider tattoo designs and the spider webs that go with them have information about the length of time that a prisoner has served his sentence. Sometimes you can even know the crimes that he has committed.

Since the spider is also considered to be a creature of the sun with its radiating legs and webs, spider tattoo designs are said to be symbols of life, vitality, health, and of course, radiating energy. It is also considered to be a lunar creature and associated with the moon as being passive, mystic and cyclical.

For the worshippers of Islam, spiders are good luck symbols except when the spiders are black then they are not considered to be lucky.

Here are some gods and goddesses which are associated with the spider:

Neith – Egyptian goddess who was said to be a great weaver.

Anansi – African – spider god who taught humans how to weave.

Grandmother Spider - Native American Indian of Southwestern tribes - nature spirit has connections to creation and wisdom.

Arachne – Greek maiden who was resurrected into a spider by Athena.
