“Everybody fears spiders,” Ortiz said. “That’s why I got it. Just to, like, make me know, that that’s what I fear, but not to fear it. You know what I’m saying?”

“Everybody looks at it like, “Damn spider” ’cause if you’re going around your house, you know what I’m saying, you see those spiders, you’re going to jump, you’re going to jump, so putting one on my face, I say you know what, I’m going to see what people think.” What do people think? “Some people say ‘Why did you get it? You’re never going to get a job,” Ortiz said.

Ortiz said he does landscaping and tile work and doesn’t deal spider-face to face with customers. “I don’t work in a place where there are people around,” he said. “They are not worried about it right now.”

But the black widow tattoo has not scared away law enforcement. Ortiz’s criminal record includes charges of burglary of a conveyance, domestic battery, possession of schedule 4 substance, retail theft, violation of injunction for protection and loitering and prowling
