In an artistic tattoo, a clock is depicted in an old style and invariably with many decorative details. Such a stylish composition turns into a real decoration of the human body.

The meaning of the clock tattoo

First of all, such a drawing symbolizes the transience of life, as well as life experience. The absence of hands or a broken dial means wasted time.

Hourglass tattoos are very popular. They symbolize the cyclical nature of existence and the elusiveness of time, which seems to slip through your fingers. The message of the drawing is to remind of human mortality and the transience of life.

Design options for a tattoo that depicts a clock:

• for black and white sketches – large-scale drawings in the style of realism or black&gray. They depict roses, butterflies, and less often skulls;
• for color sketches – tattoos in the “trash polka” style. The aggressiveness of the drawing is emphasized by chaotic scarlet strokes and images of ravens.

A tattoo depicting a clock is always large-scale, so it is placed on the shoulders, chest, and “sleeves.”
