Gothic hourglass with skeleton hands

The tattoo depicts an ancient hourglass surrounded by skeletal hands that grip it tightly, as if trying to stop time. Inside the hourglass is black sand, half empty, symbolizing the inevitable passage of time and mortality. The hourglass's surface is covered in tiny cracks, giving it an effect of age and decay. In the background, dark, twisted vines wind, creating a natural frame and adding depth to the scene. The white background enhances the contrast and allows attention to be focused on the details of the drawing. The design exudes a gothic atmosphere, combining the symbolism of transience with the motifs of darkness and decadence, perfectly reflecting the nature of the constant flow of time.
