“My uncle had the same tattoo. He got it in prison.” -- Firas[1]

The Night Wyrm's Nasty Little Web of Suffering is a tattoo that grants access to the Guild of Suffering. The extremely large tattoo appears on the Crawler's left elbow, and looks like a faded, green-tinted, poorly drawn spiderweb; the individual strands are segmented and wormlike.[2]

Story

Carl gains this tattoo from a Gold Junkie's Box after using the Enchanted Night Wyrm’s Ring of Divine Suffering for the first time on the Sixth Floor.[2]

Trivia

  • Spiderweb elbow tattoos became associated with the US prison system in the late 1900s, as the web reportedly symbolizes that a prisoner has been sitting around for so long that cobwebs formed on their elbows.[4] There are regional and institutional variations in the meaning and design of the tattoo; different rings, segments, the presence of a spider and/or said spider’s location may indicate years of incarceration, the type of offense, or gang affiliation.
