Tattooed timepieces are an ideal way to honor someone or something that has impacted your life or as a reminder to cherish every moment with loved ones. These Tattoos often feature classic clocks such as sundials or pocket watches for an authentic vintage aesthetic that will last.
Classic Pocket Watch
As the ideal gentleman’s accessory, pocket watches embody commitment and longevity. Their blank canvas makes them suitable for commemorating significant life milestones like weddings or anniversaries, graduations/retirements/birthdays.
This classic gold pocket watch boasts an open face design, hunter case with polished finish, standard crown-and-bow, free-floating Arabic seconds feature, as well as ivory high fire enamel dial displaying two subdials-one larger for seconds, one smaller showing hours and minutes displaying time through two subdials that overlap to indicate time.
Loved by vintage collectors, steampunkers, and young Victorian enthusiasts, pocket watches remain a timeless accessory. As their popularity surges again, it’s easy to understand why; just one glance will leave you entirely charmed by this exquisite piece of jewelry!
Mechanical Clock Tattoos
Clock Tattoos with gears are a poignant way to remember those who have passed on while simultaneously symbolizing your ability to persevere despite difficulties. Additionally, their intricate details make these timepieces popular among those wanting to demonstrate their talent and attention to detail.
A pocket watch tattoo can represent elegance and sophistication, pairing beautifully with roses to signify love and beauty. Furthermore, pairing the pocket watch with roses may convey hope, promise, thoughtfulness, or new beginnings.
Clocks that appear to be melting or broken typically represent a disregard for time’s orderly passage and its perception or disorientation. A melting clock tattoo may also represent resistance against being controlled by imaginary deadlines that govern life, and aspirations do not have an expiration date.
Roman Numerals
Men often get Roman numeral Tattoos to commemorate significant dates such as their children’s birth or wedding or to pay homage to loved ones who have passed on, with larger Roman Tattoos commonly found on the back or armband designs utilizing this symbolic number to add depth and meaning to full sleeve designs.
Roman numerals make a stylish accessory on any body part, but wrist bracelets make for a beautiful ornamental statement. This design boasts romantic appeal thanks to a rose carved into its side, simultaneously showcasing bold numerals with their bold font. You could even ink an arrow through them to indicate which way is up! It is a unique way to commemorate an unforgettable date.
