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.

Ankle tattoos are subtle and easy to conceal with socks or footwear. The small canvas works best with compact designs, bands, or wrapping patterns that follow the joint's shape.
