The first one is the front of the neck which is probably the least popular of all as it is almost impossible to cover up. It is sometimes an extension of face tattoos and can be commonly seen on artists (musicians, tattoo artists, painters etc) or people in the creative industry who can get away with it. The other type is the side of the neck tattoos, usually inked at the back of ears. Its a perfect location for small tattoo designs like zodiac sign, stars, heart and symbols. The last location is the back of the neck tattoos, specifically on the nape which is perhaps the most popular type of this tat. Girls want this type of body art since there is just something sexy and attractive with tattoos peeking out of one’s nape. Images such as flowers and butterfly and textual tattoos are popularly seen inked beautifully on this area. Men also go for back of the neck tattoos with popular designs such as tribal art, sun, animals and cross. Others have it executed by their artist as a starting point of a superb back tattoo design.
When it comes to pain, neck tattoos are on a higher scale since there are less flesh on the area to padding the skin during the tattooing process. As with any tattoo, you must choose a reputable artist to do the work. Make sure that its a clean, sterile and sanitize studio to avoid risks of infection. Once the tattoo is done on the neck, it might take a longer time to heal since there are a lot of movements involved in this area. Avoid rubbing it off with your clothing and hair as it can damage the design while its still fresh. Contrary to what others think, neck tattoos would not harm the spine area as its not deep enough to damage the nerve endings. Its completely safe as long as you work with a professional artist.
Neck tattoos are still considered taboo by several companies like Starbucks and agency like the military and other professional arenas so make sure you thought of this well if you are looking to make a career for in these types of fields. When it comes to choice of tattoo designs, almost anything goes as long as its an image that has meaning to you and you can live with for the rest of your life. After all, its your neck tattoo and you should be one to love it.
