Why neck tattoos

In the end, a beautifully designed and meaningful tattoo works well anywhere on the body. Essentially, a neck tattoo should not be your first tattoo. Get accustomed to having visible tattoos first and see how you feel about it. If at all self-conscious, get comfortable in your inked skin before even considering one of the most visible of all tattoos.

There may be an overseas shareholders meeting once a year, or an annual visit to a set-in-their-ways relative that holds the key to your inheritance. Sure, those may be extraneous examples, but you get the idea. If you are set on getting a neck tattoo but know that you will need to hide it every now and then, consider placement and size with care. If it can be covered by a high-collar, turtleneck, beard, or by letting your hair down then you have options for those circumstances.

So, we understand when a lot of people tend to question their decision about getting a tattoo right on their neck. In the following paragraphs, you will read all about why neck tattoos are not just a bad idea, but rather a terrible idea for a tattoo. Now, one of the main reasons why neck tattoos are a bad idea lies in the very neck skin.

The skin on the neck is extremely thin and very delicate to handle and expose to damage. Because the neck is an area filled with nerves and nerve endings, the thinness of the skin makes it easier to reach the nerves and cause incredible pain and skin irritation. The sides of the neck might be the least sensitive when it comes to tattooing, but even then you can expect some serious irritation and pain. The front of the neck is one of the most painful areas to get a tattoo, especially for men. The skin in the front of the neck is extremely thin, ad there is no muscle mass.

If you decide to get a front neck tattoo, you can expect to have some breathing difficulties and probably intolerable pain. Now, imagine going through all the pain and suffering of getting a neck tattoo just to watch it fade away faster than your other inks.

Well, it all boils down to the skin, again. The neck skin is incredibly stretchy, and as one gets older, the skin becomes loose, without elasticity and the ability to bounce back to its original shape. Because of this, the neck on the tattoo will also stretch, the ink will spread and lose its original vibrance and shape. So, tattoo fading in this case is bound to happen, more sooner than later. Moreover, there is also the issue of tattooing itself. Because the skin on the neck is so thin, there is a risk the tattoo artist will mess it up.

Neck tattoos are also almost always exposed. This means the tattoo on the neck will experience the highest levels of sun exposure, which further affects the quality of the tattoo and speeds up the fading process. The movement of the head and the neck can also contribute to the fading issues, and sometimes make the tattoo more blurry and indistinct. As we mentioned earlier, the neck area is filled with nerves and nerve endings. So, the pain levels usually vary between extremely high and intolerable for the majority of people.

During the tattooing of the neck front, one can experience breathing discomfort and issues. If the front tattoo goes down to the clavicle, the pain can continue being high since the clavicle area is boney and the skin is also extremely thin.

The least painful part of the back of the neck is the lowest parts of the neck; at the side of the spine or more towards to shoulder area. Because the neck skin is thin, and the neck movement is frequent and necessary, neck tattoos can have a hard time healing properly. Because of constant movement, the healing can prolong from several weeks to several months. The skin will have a hard time drying completely and healing without interruptions.

Will it become a problem if you change jobs? The last thing when deciding on a neck tattoo is whether you can take the pain. There are tonnes of nerve receptors in the neck. Plus it becomes hard to breathe while getting your neck tattooed. A very visible mistake. Find an experienced artist and get advice on your design. The neck is made up of four distinct areas — the sides, the back and the throat. Each area has its own challenges but the shape itself can prove to be difficult.
