34 Spider Lily Tattoo Ideas to Inspire You in 2024

With the use of only thin black lines, this Spider Lily tattoo comes to life. These lines are not only used to create the outlines, but also the shading and detailing seen on the petals. The forearm is the perfect location for this long linear, flowing design. And of course located here, it will always be by your side and within easy viewing.

The lines forming the petals and leaves of this Spider Lily are steady and even, showcasing the skill of the artist. Unfortunately there is some irregularity seen along the stem. There’s also some bleeding of the ink under the skin due to it being heavily packed. Of course, this doesn’t distract from the beauty of this tattoo, especially with it use of gorgeous red ink.

There’s real drama on display here, from the all black palette, to the blackwork style employed, and of course the placement of this tattoo. If you want to make a statement and create a focal point on your body, there’s really no better place than the sternum. All eyes will be on you, including following the lines of the stem downwards . Of course full viewing pleasure is…By Invitation Only

Here’s another Spider Lily from the artist IG: @bium_tattoo. Like the forearm , the calf is similarly a great location for a flower tattoo especially when the stem is included in the design. There’s plenty of space here to showcase the beautiful flowing lines of the flower, although the tattoo won’t be easily visible to the client. Something to consider.

Blue Spider Lilies don’t exist in nature, but in a tattoo, the choice is yours. And this vibrant shade of blue is to die for; it’s gorgeous. The petals spread beautifully over the hand, accenting both the fingers and the wrist, while the flowing curved lines of the stem gracefully accent the forearm. This tattoo is at once delicate and bold and I’m loving it.

Red lilies are often associated with death and rebirth. It looks like this theme is in play here with the inclusion of the skeleton. That’s what’s so cool about tattoos; they’re a way to express yourself and tell your story. I know I’d be asking this client what this piece is all about.

All I can say is Wow! I love this tattoo and can’t imagine anyone not thinking it’s just beautiful. Of course the combination of red ink along with those black swirls, that look they were painted on with a brush, creates drama, drama, drama. Also the lack of outlines on the Spider Lily renders it very realistic. There are some inconsistencies in the lines and shading, but this piece remains a showstopper.

Isn’t this red Spider Lily tattoo gorgeous? The red ink is nicely packed creating a vibrant yet muted shade. I love the areas of negative or uninked space which are used to create depth and detailing. It’s interesting to note that most floral tattoos along the forearm are centered while this one is positioned at an angle. Of course, this is to accommodate the other tattoo, but I think it adds interest and fits like a glove.

A tiger and Spider Lily tattoo often symbolizes compassion and wealth; specifically having the means to help others. Regardless of meaning, this piece is awesome. With the absence of any outlines, this tiger not only comes alive, but seems to be moving across the client’s back. The blood red Spider Lilies are dramatic and complement the powerful vibe of the tiger. Additionally the ink is well-packed, the lines crisp and all together this is one impressive tattoo.

This piece is one of my favorites on our list. The splashes of red and black ink, applied in watercolor style, are exquisitely beautiful. Other areas showcase precise application of ink as seen in both the outlines and shading. Added to this is the tattoo’s placement. Pieces running down along the spine are among the most sexy and sensuous tattoos. Backless dress anyone?

The small size of this tattoo fits perfectly over the biceps. What’s nice too is that its location affords the opportunity for not only others to admire it, but for the client too. This Spider Lily is inked in all black and has a slightly less delicate feel than some of the previous pieces. It would look great on men as well as women.

If you weren’t convinced before that tattoos running along the spine are super sexy, well here’s more proof! I can imagine admirers wanting to run their fingers, or even more, down along the stem of this Spider Lily. In addition to all this, the inking here is off-the-charts, from the even, steady lines to the shading and of course to its placement. This tattoo is like…Poetry In Motion

Here’s another red Spider Lily tattoo, but as you can see, each artist puts an individual twist on design. The breaks in the stem add interest and are just pleasing to the eye. They focus the eye to look downward along the calf adding to a sense of movement. Characterized by simple shading and lines, this is a beautiful tattoo.

This tattoo is so beautiful; it looks like a piece of prized porcelain. I love the color palette of deep and light shades of red and blue, accented with black. It’s both subtle and dramatic at the same time. How lucky is this client to have this beautiful piece right by their side for forever viewing.

The watercolors in this piece are applied in a precise manner; that’s not easy whether painting or tattooing. The result is this gorgeous Spider Lily tattoo which beautifully accents the shoulder. Cords adorned with jewels are then used to tie these two Spider Lilies together. Dangling onto the upper arm, it’s obvious that all that’s needed is your…LBD

Here’s another beautiful watercolor red Spider Lily tattoo with an obvious Asian influence. I love everything about this tattoo, from its theme to its impressive inking to the dangling bejeweled cord swaying over the client’s skin. Can’t think of a better way to adorn one’s upper arm. No Jewelry Needed

This is a dramatic piece that would look great on either a man or woman. Feathered dragons appear in mythology. Here the artist makes the feathered surface of the dragon look real enough to touch. You can sense their texture and movement. The scales are also so skillfully inked, with white ink used to create depth and detailing. Overall, very impressive.

This tattoo is small but packs a big punch, and wow is it beautiful! I love the crisp lines and neat curves of the petals. There’s also symmetry here and perfect placement. And check out that vibrant red ink that’s beautifully packed. All together a truly impressive piece.

As mentioned previously, back tattoos running along the spine are often super sensuous and sexy. This piece though has a different vibe; it’s much more whimsical like the other tattoos seen here. Although this client doesn’t appear to be shy, witness the striking green hair, a tattoo in this location can easily be concealed; the choice is up to you.

Geometric elements add interest and up the aesthetic of this Spider Lily tattoo. They also frame the Spider Lilies, giving the design a pleasing form rather than appearing messy. It’s also interesting how the flowers extend onto the upper arm and over the elbow. Just be aware though that the elbow is a very sensitive area to tattoo and not for the faint-of-heart.
