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.

Using lines of varying thickness to define shape and depth, linework tattoos achieve expression through economy. The absence of shading keeps the focus on the quality and flow of each stroke.

The chest is a bold placement choice that stays mostly concealed under clothing. Its proximity to the heart makes it a popular spot for meaningful symbols, text, and portrait work.
