Inspired by a character or actor from a Movie? Movie-inspired tattoos have always been popular. During the 2020-2021 COVID-19 Pandemic, many people were required to quarantine and practice self-isolation. And what other ways to pass the time while practicing social-distance than to  watch movies.  Since the movie theaters were shut down, many companies and producers made free movies available. People began to watch Marvel, DC Comics, Mortal Kombat, Disney movies or played games with a great amount of special effects. From that moment, people identified with the characters and the passion in movie characters, films, and scenes was born.

Choosing your Movie Tattoo

First, choose your favorite movie, then select a character or scene of the movie that you’d like or identify with. Lastly, decide what kind of style you’d like: portrait, black and grey, traditional, old school, watercolor. Personally speaking, I like the character Hellboy because I like his story background and I can identify with him. Whichever decision you make, and the reason behind your decision, your tattoo should be identifiable at a far.

Time Heals, Clock Tattoos Do too

Time is always catching up to us, or is it the other way around? Our lives revolve around time. We are always checking our phones or our handwatch to meet deadlines, to rest, to wake up or to work. The clock is always ticking and there is no time to waste- especially when designing your good-looking clock.

There was a time period were clocks were very popular. One of the reasons I received a lot of followers on my social media was because of my clock design going viral. Clients would come to me with a picture taken of a clock tattoo they saw on one of my clients and request to be made for them too. Clocks can have different meanings for each individual, and hold an aesthetic appearance. 

Clock Design Process 

When designing clock tattoos, I use real life clock photos, and watch materials in order to implement specific details that can be seen with the naked eye. I tend to use the Negative Space style and include enough contrast so the results seem to look in depth and legible. 

Clocks tattoos can result in impressive and intriguing results. Come in with your design, or feel free to come in and look at my famous clock designs. Let’s work on it together and create a timeless clock tattoo that you’d love.
