The fewest possible lines carrying the most possible meaning. Minimalist tattoos are small, quiet and deliberate — a single-stroke animal, a tiny symbol, a word. The discipline is in what gets left out; a great minimalist design cannot lose a single line without losing the idea.
A spider carries patience, creativity (the weaver), fear conquered — and Minimalist's tiny give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the hand, neck, shoulder.
