Clock Tattoo Photo #2312
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.
Blackwork tattoos use solid black ink in bold, graphic compositions. The style ranges from large filled areas and heavy patterns to intricate designs that rely on contrast between ink and bare skin.
The upper arm is a classic tattoo placement with enough space for medium to large designs. It's easy to cover with a short sleeve and serves as a natural starting point for a half or full sleeve.
