"Tatoeage" (1910)by the Japanses writer Tanizaki Junichiro shows a more or less similar theme. This story is about a woman and her changing character after she has herself tattoeed a spider on her back. “There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about”
