Can you guess which animal is most commonly tattooed incorrectly on people?
Tattoos are among the things that can haunt you long into the future. Since I'm kind of an "animal guy" I sometimes notice things... like when people get inaccurate tattoos. Here is a short video that I made about the matter.
IGNORANT VIDEO... or, GUESS WHICH ANIMAL
THE BLACK WIDOW
Since this little spider has venom more than 10X stronger than that of a rattlesnake, they've made quite a name for themselves. Though they are rarely fatal for humans, they are still dangerous, and a lot of people must think that getting a tattoo of a Black Widow is pretty "tough."
"Tough" as they may seem, when you get one tattooed upside down, it could also look "ignorant." You see, while the female of the species does have the trademark red hourglass on it, it is not on its back. Rather, the red hourglass appears on the underside of the spider, not the back.
If the spider was to be tattooed accurately, it would look more like this, or maybe even completely black on the back. I'm not sure why I thought of this recently, but most likely it has been the periodical Black Widows that I have been encountering lately. Because they can be found worldwide on many continents, I guess I thought that more people would be aware. However, I've seen enough inaccurate tattoos to know better.
Trust me, I won't be getting any more tattoos, but if I was going to get a black widow tattooed on me, it would look like this, and not have a red hourglass inaccurately tattooed on its back.
I was planning on having some real photos of a black widow in this post, but it got away during the video... oh well.
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Until next time…

This is more common than just black widows...
Sadly many people don't do any homework on the tattoo "artist" they choose and many times money outweighs artistic merit.
I grew up playing with black widows. They were EVERYWHERE around the property, hiding in all the dark spots. You get used to them and I have never been bitten by one. This after spending years actually poking at them and playing with them. The true look of the black widow is solid black. You only see the red marking when the spider is upside down in its web. At least the west coast ones.
We have two versions here. Some are all black on the back, like yours, and the rest look like the one in the video.
Spider may be.
Red mark in the belly side.
I used to be scared of black widows, where I'm from they're black on top, usually with the red hourglass underneath. After spending years around them I realized they're pretty chill, they don't even move around much. You can pretty much count on them to hang out in one spot and kill bugs for you.
best post @papa-pepper
Hey man, did you sharpie those spiders? I don't see a lot of black widows around here but a lot of spider webs on elbows. Means you have done time. Or were tough enough to go to jail once......i dunno......
Yeah, just a quick sharpie job.
Good, cause I was gonna suggest you fire your tattoo guy....
Lol!
Ok I have never been in a tatoo place or had a tatoo. But your black widow spider looks like it was drawn on with markers, Why do I say that is because you give a child a marker and they will draw on them self.
Hey!
hahahahahah
One of my friends recently got a black widow tattoo...fortunately, they are an entomologist!
So I see! Yeah, I've seen some accurate ones myself.
wow, haha I love the tattoos, but it is true many times people tattoo it incorrectly, but you have it great, very good video and very funny, I said a lot, good job! buddy @papa-pepper
Wow , very nice tattoo. Papa-pepper
Great post you nailed it when where you said you've seen enough inaccurate tattoos,cause i've seen and thought of that too but since i'm yet to have one,it kept me mute always!!!
its not a dumb tattoo it a black widow laying on its back sunbathing , or maybe a dead one cos some one with a tattoo just nailed its ass , yeah wonder if any one has a steem tattoo yet , that would be really dumb ass , stupid
Careful, I've seen a few steem tattoos in my time here!
thats sad , but i suppose its better than have chicken fried rice tattooed on you in chinese characters , but not much
I have a buddy that has a piece of fried chicken tattooed on his arm. If you ask him about it he just says he really likes fried chicken.
wow well at least hes keepin it real , and not flowering it up , i cant think of any food i like enough to have it tattooed on me , maybe beans on toast ??
Well dam, thought I was the only one who was ticked off by the "upside down tattoo" phenomenon. Perhaps more accurately, I refer to it as "on glass, from below" view. Thank you for making me feel less OCD about the issue. Another one you may not have noticed is the unnatural mirror image of animals with distinctive stripes or markings (tigers or lions with perfect symmetrical markings or manes). Although I select not to bring it to the attention of the person tagged, because if you don't got something nice to say... well you know.
As to the second question, does the impression of someone being ignorant give them the appearance of being tougher. I'd say yes, and even go as far as to say, it's not just an appearance thing but an observation more often than not being true. Ignorance often results in not be aware of consequences, and with such an absences of fear, who wouldnt' be?
Well that's my 2 cents.
Good post
very good post, my friend please visit my blog.
Haha I never realized that before! Well caught there @papa-pepper!
This is great! hahah! shedding light on the ignorance one post at a time! @papa-pepper ! Epic stuff dude!
excellent information @papa-pepper !
@papa-pepper amazing tatto, this spidertatto
let me Resteem this post
I only think tattoos are a problem when they are in a language/dialect that is completely foreign to the person being inked... and they have no earthly idea whether their tattoo says "Justice and Truth" or "Eat at Joes".
I've got a few on my stomach... Told they say "insane snake" but I can't read Chinese.
Really great tats, imho IF the person that has them are serious about the meanings and persue the "virtues"
The Seven Virtues of Bushido
Well Done.
Nice tatoo sir. Interesting post.
A tattoo is the closest I would want to get to a Black Widow. I respect all spiders. Not afraid mind you. When I find one in my house I catch and release outside.
Good point! ... the artist messed up on mine (not a spider) and I was too 'nice' to say anything... but, as a result, I kinda fit this. However, no one will take me as looking tougher for it. LOLOLOL
LOL! I had some issues in the past too!
:) sorry to hear it, hope they're more entertaining issues than anything.
Just messed up tattoos.
That was interesting..is that black widow only had red color?
Great video,all of your articles are fully supported..
Good Post @papa-pepper
We have plenty of black widows here... I think a misspelled word is worse
Lol, but people don't pick misspelled words off the wall to have tattooed.
True. But it happens :) or rather :(
Spacing can be an issue too. I know a guy who tried to get "THUG LIFE" tattooed on him, but it got spaced wierd and looked like "I HUG LIFE" because of how the T looked too.
I saw a young kid once at a county fair, just got a HD tat, and damn the artwork was great, but it was spelled Harley Davison, instead of Harley DaviDson. The Tat artist did it on purpose, prob because the kid was pretty much a smart az punk. I showed it to him at the place where they had all the Harley mirrors etc. he freaked out, I was lmao !
Ouch!
That is a great mistake!! Love it! Maybe it turned him away from the thug life and he started to hug life instead! Healthier in the long run I would think. :)
I wish I was tattooed on her skin. XD
Very nice post, every day you make it harder to dethrone
Wow , very nice tattoo, spider...
Very cool, thanks for educating me! I won't be getting any tatoos, but I might be identifying a spider!
a tattoo that looks good on a young person.
...might not look so good on that same person fifty years later.
This was a very interesting post. I didn't know much about Black Widows or ever seen one. But now I have thanks to you. They are actually really neat. Thanks for sharing all these awesome videos and posts, I really enjoy it and always learn something from you.
Shouldn't the legs be much longer with more joints?
I think longer legs will make the tattoo look even cooler.
Tough Guys
Hold a black widow on a little piece of bark. Whoa!
Almost dropped it on myself too!
Does being ignorant make me look tougher thinking
Works for Trump followers laughing my head off
Sorry a lot of y'all were thinking it
But I love me some big poppa pepper though kiss and hugz
Don't follow me btw yall leave me alone lmao
Beastmode....lol that Sharpee tat looks better than some real tattoos I've seen. smh lol
Too much information on spider :p
But you're right, the tattoos are inaccurate (most of the times) . My brother is a tattoo artist and people are always coming to our house asking for weird tattoos and animal faces, I seriously don't understand the reasons they have
Does admitting ignorance make you ignorant? Not in my estimation.
Does seeking to rid yourself of ignorance absolve you of it? Eventually!
I don't regert (hehe) any of my tattoos even though some are fairly hypocritical by todays standards.
Followed!
Oh no. I am really really scared of any kinds of spiders. I cringe when I saw the tattoo. Haha. arachnophobia it is.
Ive seen some pretty bad tattoos that's for sure. I joke with friends at the gym that a few tattoos can add 50 lbs to your bench. Same with a beard which definitely makes you stronger! I should know!
Yeah, you look stronger there!
I knew it LoL!
"proof-i'm-not-ignorant" haha. I see lots of inaccurate tattoos. They crack me up. I've never seen a black widow with the dots on the back. In KY, they are just shiny black. We have lots of them around here but not as many as the brown recluse. I've been bit twice by one of those fellas and it was not pleasant. Well, the first time was horrible and the second not so bad.
i would get a tattoo some day
I'm afraid with that kind of tattoo...
I have a thing for dragons and they actually mean something to me which is a plus since they look awesome anyway! My very first dragon tat was put on backawards! A dragon tat is supposed to be facing forward but the idiot that done mine, put it facing back. I didn't know any better at the time (I was pretty young) until a credible artist told me about it. When I was made aware of it, I recall what the idiot said that day that shows he knew he messed up. He said "If anybody says anything about it looking backwards, tell them it's watching your back". The tat is on my upper arm on the side and is not visible with a shirt on. Since then, I had a different artist spruce it up some so it wouldn't look so bad. I would love to see some black widow photos! Don't want to see any around or in my house but on my phone is okay :)
I don't like them but I'm intrigued by them, kinda like snakes. Everything in life has a purpose, well almost everything.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU HAD THAT THING THAT CLOSE TO YOUR FINGERS!!!
It's amazing what scares some people and to others it's nothing. For me, I can enter a dwelling knowing that an armed subject is inside wanting to do me harm, or I can go chasing an armed subject in to the woods at night with no backup and be totally fine and composed with it BUT, if you were to put that thing on me, I would probably scream like a lil school girl lol!
Personally I've avoided tattoos but I do admire the tattoo articts very much. This is an interesting comment thanks. It's all personal choice when it comes down to it. I've never thought about the "macho" angle!
is this a permanent tattoo or just a temporary papa?
it seems like this tattoo you fit in the chest on the left or on the back let me look fierce😂 @papa-pepper
Another classic boo boo is the Anchor with or without the rope, the top crossbar is at right angles to the bottom flukes.
In the services quite often people would wake up the next day and wonder why their arm hurt so much, and then ask the silliest question" Was I that drunk last night?"
You make a great point & also the fact of tatoos are permanent 😉 oh and dont forget koifish once😉 Or snakes ha ha
Great video and text😀💗
Answer: No, acting, looking or being Ignorant doesn't make anyone look tougher, stupid, yes ! imho, lol
very cool, a jar works great btw !
