Clock tattoo designs: pocket watch, Roman numeral clock, clock and hourglass

Clock tattoo designs, which often mark a moment, a birth or a loss by the hour the hands point to. Worn on the forearm or the upper arm. The nine sheets show an open pocket watch with roses, a Roman-numeral clock face, and an hourglass in front of a clock. Each is drawn as traditional flash, fine line and dotwork. Type a different object or twist, such as a key, and the same styles can be asked for.

• an upper-arm clock marking a date
• a pocket watch with flowers
• an hourglass and clock for the forearm
• a printed sheet to compare styles

Frequently asked questions

What is on the page?

Nine clock designs: a pocket watch with roses, a Roman-numeral clock and a clock with an hourglass, each in three styles.

Is this a design on skin?

No. Each design is a drawing on white paper, for taking to a studio or printing.

Can I set the hands to a specific time?

Yes. Name the time or a twist, such as a key; the result is a new drawing, not a guaranteed match.

What is the difference between the styles?

Traditional flash has bold outlines and a few accent colours. Fine line is one uniform hairline with little shading. Dotwork builds the shadows from dots.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
