Century Tattoo Ideas

The Century tattoo embodies the passage of 100 years, signifying significant life events and transitions. It represents the endurance and resilience of the human spirit amidst the inevitable change that time brings. This tattoo can symbolize not only personal milestones - such as anniversaries or life achievements - but also broader historical events and cultural shifts that define each century. Common designs include clock motifs, numerals '100', or even hourglass imagery, which allude to the flow of time. Some opt for incorporating elements from specific centuries that resonate personally, such as styles or symbols from the 20th century. Placement can range from a visible location like the forearm or wrist, to more discreet spots like the inner arm or behind the ear, allowing for personal expression of the wearer’s relationship with time and history.
