This is my William Blake inspired hour glass tattoo.This year I took a British Literature course in college and there was a large emphasis on William Blake. I fell in love with the complexity of his writing, especially what is presented in Auguries of Innocence. I knew that I wanted the quote and the hourglass, and this is what my artist came up with.
This is my third and largest tattoo. It took around 3.5 hours to complete (although I still need to return for some minor touch ups).
This was done by Amber Vail, at Studio 66 in Porterville, CA
