A clock tattoo can signify time passing or an extraordinary date or hour, representing the beginning or end of life itself. If a clock tattoo calls to you, you’re likely someone who has their own creative and personal meaning to add to this tattoo. Don’t be afraid to make this one completely unique to you.

Outside of individual meaning, a clock can have various symbolism depending on the design and style, thus creating them to model men’s tattoos. You can find watches used in literature, art, and films worldwide, leaving endless choices for your next design.

Meaning Of Clock Tattoo

Many outlooks of clock tattoos can be customized, in shape, size, and color – to name a few. Yet, probably the most noteworthy quality is the time the clock tells. The time can point to your own birth time or your loved one, be it children, parents, or partners.

Usually, broken clocks symbolize the stopping of time or the desire to be free from time trouble. This tattoo is easy to add to other elements – like skulls, roses, or birds.

Rose’s tattoos personify love, courage, romance, and beauty. Infusion with clock tattoos, you can customize a romantic and classy tattoo that embodies a significant love in your life. When creating a piece, try pairing older clocks, like ancestors, antiques, or pocket watches to go with roses.

A melting clock can represent a disregard for the passage of time or embody a significant era in life, but it usually means that time is an illusion. Melting clock tattoos come in all shapes and styles but are fundamentally based on fantastic designs by Salvador Dali. Opt for dual colors or shading to get the most out of this design.

Alternately going realistic with black and gray shading on grand, classical clocks – a digital clock gives a more modern and fun choice. If you have a special time you want your design to showcase, this is the right kind of clock to tattoo for you.

Clock towers are famous historical structures and are used as signs in many various pieces of literature. These tattoos are a brilliant choice for readers, history buffs, artists, writers, or simply those who enjoy the design.

Placement Of Clock Tattoo Design

When going for placement for a clock tattoo, one of the main things to keep in mind is that a clock is round. For your clock tattoo to be as noticeable as possible, you need to be able to see the whole circle at once. So if you want a large clock tattoo on your forearm, for example, it will have to sheathe around the arm, which might cover the way the circle looks. That’s why large clock tattoos are good to get on body parts like the upper arm, the back, the chest, the thighs, and even the side of the hip.
