The elbow web tattoo is a design that has 2 basic meanings, and neither is anything to be proud of. Traditionally, this has always been a prison tattoo and the web is to represent the entrapment in which you are in and feel. Sometimes the amount of webbing in the tattoo will tell a person who knows how to read it how long the inmate served, but this is not always the case. Sometimes you only get one elbow done, but sometimes both. The second, and VERY important meaning to note is that this is, and has been, a White Power tattoo for many years. Traditionally speaking, a member can only get this sort of tattoo if he has either taken a minorities life or severely injured one. In any event, due to this prevalence, this is not really that advisable of a tattoo to get. Additionally, there are Outlaw Motorcycle gang factions that take this tattoo quite seriously and don't like to see it on "normal" people and don't mind telling you.
