Black tattoo design extending from shoulder to elbow

Black tattoo design extending from shoulder to elbow. A faceless figure dissolves at the top, from whose broken form emerge intertwining serpents (symbolizing vice), wrapping around an anatomical heart. The heart is pierced by a cracked hourglass, and its veins are replaced with mechanical gears and dried branches. The lower part of the design fades into dark smoke or abstract roots. The composition flows organically down the arm in a dramatic, blackwork style—high contrast, textured shadows, no color, not overly realistic, but detailed and symbolic. Theme: manipulation, vice, love, time.
