Hourglass Tattoo Ideas – Time, Life & Mortality Symbols

Hourglass Tattoo Ideas are all-time. One hour of glasses shows that the sand slowly falls from top to bottom – as time passes in real life. Many people get an allegory tattoo to remind themselves that time is precious and does not wait for anyone. Some designs are simply simple with glass size, while in others the sand is converted into stars, flowers, skulls, or hearts.

A few hours of glasses break down or melt to show that the time may end. You can add wings, roses, watches, or fire and water to make the design more meaningful. These tattoos can be large or small, and they look great on arms, legs, chest, or back. One hour of glasses tattoo is a creative way to show how low life is and why we should enjoy every moment. Whether it is about patience, change, or living perfectly, it is a deep and beautiful tattoo idea.
