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.

Abstract tattoos break away from literal representation, using shapes, colors, and unconventional compositions to create expressive, non-figurative designs. The style prioritizes feeling and movement over realism.

The shoulder's rounded shape gives tattoos a natural frame, wrapping designs around the deltoid muscle. It's a versatile placement that transitions easily into a sleeve or back piece.
