Frequently Asked Questions

Do neck tattoos hurt a lot?

Neck tattoos are considered high-pain placements due to the proximity to bone and many nerve endings. The back of the neck is slightly more tolerable than the sides or throat.

Will a neck tattoo affect my career?

Visible tattoos can affect employment in some industries. Consider your profession before placing a tattoo on your neck. Designs that sit below the collar may be more discreet.

What designs work best on the neck?

Small, simple designs work best on the side neck. Symmetrical patterns suit the back of the neck. Fine line scripts and florals are very popular choices.
