19 Classy Neck Tattoo Ideas & 46 Examples / Style Dieter

Unlike shoulder and chest tattoos, neck tattoos are more prominent, hard to be ignored and difficult to be covered (unless turtleneck is your thing).

When compared with other tattoo spots, neck tattoo has been relatively rare in the past due to its “job stopper” status (job stopper: exposed tattoo that might prevent a person from getting a job).
