![]() ![]() Fine line work and gorgeous bold purples, blues and dashes of deep pink make this a beautiful, flowing piece, well placed on pale canvas. ‘In time forgive, forget’, this is a very delicate tattoo featuring a broken hourglass with beautiful fuchsia injected butterflies escaping, suggesting that all wounds heal with time and once one forgives and forgets the past their spirit can break free and transform out of time and into the future, out of the past comes a world of new possibilities. A really well shaded tattoo that will withstand the test of time and forever remind the wearer that the sands of life are trickling away. ![]() The sand timer itself is positioned in the center of a web of gears, sprockets and clock parts entangled,possibly a hint that time is complex and made up of a wide variety of components each affecting the next like the beat of a butterfly wing echoing through infinity. This hourglass tattoo of steam-punk influence appears like a jigsaw puzzle piece, the skin cut away revealing the inner workings of the body beneath flesh. Excellent shading on the wings make this a stand out piece and although it will fade with time and the ink will break up, so too will life fade when the timer runs out, and maybe that was the point to begin with. This is an interesting tattoo in that its placed across two hands, only making sense when the hands are together index fingers pointing to hourglass inscribe and feathers floating boldly above. Expert lining and beautiful shading and highlighting make this tattoo a really clean, easy to read piece, the tree growing out of the sand telling that despite death nature will always find a way to survive and flourish.Īn hourglass with wings is an iconic pairing symbolizing that life is fleeting, that the sands of time will run out for everyone and that time flies by, speeding us towards an inevitable end. In this tattoo the sands of time have run out and birds have broken out of the top chamber of the hourglass and flown away, perhaps signifying that everything ends but has new beginnings, time running out gives new life to the world. Out of the sands of time grows a tree, laden with birds that fly up and out of the timepiece. ![]()
