I went to a party in PA today, and I noticed that most of the men had spiderweb tattoos on their elbows, I don't know if that was just something they all did as friends or whatever. I know in the Aryan Brotherhood having one of those means you've been to prison, anyone else know about these tattoos and possibly what they mean ?
Several different things. Like you said, the Aryan Brotherhood used them in the 70s. It's also a common prison tat because it represent being caught in a web. It can likewise symbolize drug addiction. It may also mean that you've killed a minority, again tracing it back to the Aryan Brotherhood.
^ Yeah, these dudes are right. But Mexicans have had them, too: See, Spider was in his car while Demon was throwing that Puntos sign on those punks... (sorry, no picture)... then Miklo was jacking up them jokers...and he got his VL placazo for it... then Spider got Cruzito. So... Paco had some poison for some spider, man, but for tomorrow... "Come on, Spider!!! Let's see what kind of man you are in daylight!" "You answer to me, p*nche m*mon..." Then Miklo did Spider. So Miklo ended up in Jail Magic asked Miklo: "You're the sucker that dusted Spider? Pues mira... Tres Puntos like Spider... boooo, I'm the boogie man!!!" At 7:20, here, you can see his Spider tattoo [nsfw language]: <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PSa_Vn29F5k&start=333"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PSa_Vn29F5k&start=333" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> ¡Viva Vatos Locos!!!

Well done, good sir, well done. A tour de force that also introduced me to the intricacies of (prison) gang structure. But if you have not been bled in, how did you bleed out?
Jose Tabata of the Pittsburgh Pirates must have done time then. Of course, he also had just about every other tattoo in the book, with the exception of a Mike Tyson face tattoo and a Felipe Lopez/Delonte West neck tattoo.
