N. Clavipes Tattoo drawing

A simple drawing of a tattoo I am planning on getting. This particular spider is the South American Golden Orb-Web spider(nephila clavipes), colliquially known as the 'True Banana Spider'. The lighting and my hand on my camera did not do the actual image much justice, and I had to touch-up in GIMP a little, but I was able to get this drawing very, very close to what the actual spider looks like(bugadrienne.deviantart.com/art… A link to the DA picture I used for sizing when I drew this. A very, very good photo, if I say so myself...).
This spider is seen as a creature that is the embodiment of creativity, since it tends to destroy its web every night, and spin a brand-new one every morning. Those of you who know me personally, or have for a long time, are aware that I consider spiders to be exceptionally beautiful, and this just happens to be my favorite species for its beauty.
