Best Answer

Barbed wire tattoos symbolize prison terms. The number of barbs equals the number of years served.

Correction, A spiderweb on your elbow symbolizes you have been to prison and the number of lines expanding outward from the center represents the years spent. A barbed wire tattoo was first used by the Nazi's to mark Jewish prisoners during WWII.

CLOSE, ACCORDING TO THE WEBSITE WWW.ADL.ORG A POPULAR ANTI DEFAMATION GOVERNMENT AFFILIATED WEBSITE. COBWEBS ON YOUR ELBOW MEAN YOU KILLED A MINORITY AND BARBED WIRE MEANS YOU GOT AWAY WITH ANY SPECIFIC CRIME UNHINDERED...

well from what i know the number of spikes represent the time spent in prison. but it also could represent a wall that keeps people out such as intruders.
