A clock can represent a birth time, a death time, a life-changing moment, or simply awareness that time is precious. Melting or broken clocks suggest time's distortion or the wish to escape its grip.

Combining the strong linework of traditional tattooing with contemporary shading and color theory, neo-traditional pieces feel both familiar and fresh. The style allows for more realistic proportions while keeping the iconic bold look.

The collarbone's clean horizontal line provides a natural guide for elongated designs. This placement adds a subtle accent to the upper body and works especially well with fine-line and minimalist styles.
