Spider tattoo: black widow, spider web, tarantula

Nine spider tattoo designs on white paper: a black widow hanging head down from a thread, a round web with a spider resting at its edge, and a tarantula seen from above. Spider designs are worn for their dark look, for patience and craft, or on the elbow inside a web. Type a different spider or a twist, such as a skull, and the same styles carry it.

• a dark design with a sharp look
• a web on the elbow
• a single black widow for a small piece
• a design sheet to show the artist

Frequently asked questions

What do the nine designs show?

Three spider subjects drawn three ways: a black widow hanging from a thread, a round web with a spider and a tarantula, in traditional, fine line and blackwork.

Can I ask for a different spider or a twist?

Yes. The direction field takes any subject or twist, such as a skull; a typed direction is a request, so the result may differ from the samples.

What is the difference between the three styles?

Traditional has bold black outlines, heavy shading and red, yellow and green fills; fine line is a single hairline with no shading; blackwork is solid black with fine white lines cut through it.

Are these photographs of tattoos on skin?

No. Each design is a line drawing on a plain white background, with no skin, arm or body in it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
