If you're planning on inking your neck, there are some things you might want to consider. The fact that a new tattoo would ruffle many feathers once you've already been hired is pretty unlikely. "Nobody gets fired for having a unique tattoo after you've accepted a job," Human Resources consultant Laurie Ruettimann told Business Insider.

I'd like to see the whole thing as I think that's a skull at the bottom and has wings up the side.

"In most industries, your boss and colleagues will just shrug their shoulders and adapt to the way you look." But there are two types of tattoo ideas that aren't likely to fly: face and neck tattoos. According to Ruettimann, those tattoos can disqualify you from jobs where you'll be meeting clients in particular.

At least with this one, you should be able to get a customer service job and be in public.
you seem like the type of person that would not be able to get any job, with or without a tattoo
Load More Replies...A hand tattoo is a bit less controversial but it's still questionable. Of course, just like any other ink, how your coworkers perceive it largely depends on how progressive your industry is. "At a law firm, people maybe will notice (a hand tattoo) more than at a tech firm where let's say nine out of 10 people already have some creative tattoos," Vicki Salemi, a career expert at Monster.com, told The Wall Street Journal.

This is so cool, but won't it look strange with shirts that are cut lower
precision, to keep all the hexagons the same all the way round. And yes, I know they use a carbon paper to start with, still, this clean and simple and geometric has to be precise
It shouldn't come as a surprise that that younger Americans are more likely than previous generations to be tattooed and accepting of ink. Almost 40% of those aged between 18 and 29 have one. A bit less than a quarter of millennials say tattoos are unprofessional, compared to 63% of those 60 and older.
Little Blue Bird Tattoo
While I think it's a little too large for her neck, it's beautifully done.
Optical Illusion Neck Tattoo
That’s pretty trippy. EDIT : so I guess some people don’t know the slang meaning for trippy. Coz I have said this comment a few times in the past and it always gets downvoted. Trippy in slang is an adjective meaning cool, freaky, crazy, weird, groovy, amazing, or all of the above.
People just enjoy hating on others, even if there's no real reason.

I like this idea, mine would turn into a snake skeleton at the end though <3
Beautiful! Ouroboros is a symbol of rebirth and also inward reflection. While the throat chakra connects both inner and outer worlds and gives you the strength to speak your truth.

They’re also symbols of the life you have led. I don’t regret any of my tattoos. Since it is in black though she can always have it removed and every year it gets easier and easier to remove them.
Why? I don't get it if people want a tattoo in the face or neck. It never goes away! It looks freaky, especially when you're getting older.

Medusa was raped by Poseidon and Athena turned her into a Gorgon so no man would ever hurt her again.
Ummm....Medusa was a beautiful young girl sworn to celibacy, raped by Posidon, turned to a monster by Athena to protect her from lecherous men. I'd be snaky too if some god forced himself on me.
People really need to think ahead. Ink bleeds and gets blurry, necks sag and get wrinkles.
Yeah well. . .and he has to look at that in the mirror everyday. WHY???

Load More Replies...another black, blurred mess in 10 years, and just imagine old lady wrinkles in that design.....
That's pretty cynical. Besides, as technology improves the ability to touch-up tattoos gets better and better. Now instead of putting up with it getting blurry (on the neck, probably wouldn't become unbearably so for at least ten years) it can be redone somewhere down the line.

Very simple but because it is just a circle you definitely need to make it perfect otherwise it will stand out like dogs balls. This has been done fantastically.

Tangentially: can anyone tell what those huge earholes at the bottom of their ears are about please ?
They are ear plugs, they start off slowly stretching the piercing hole upping the sizes of the plugs until they reached the desired effect. If they ever decide to no longer want plugs anymore they have loose saggy earlobes which needs surgery to correct. A woman had to go to hospital coz she had her pet snake stuck in her earlobe when she didn’t have the plugs in. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/02/01/snake-got-stuck-earlobe-pet-owner-seeks-hospital-treatment/

I see amazing artistry in a lot of these, but I can't get over the placement as being a bad idea for long-term happiness for many people. I guess it's because looking back at those things I loved and cherished in my 20's - most are embarrassingly stupid today and I can't imagine being happy today with a design I chose back then.
Oh honey....there is no such thing as a good neck tattoo. The only thing they are good for is to show me who to avoid.
That’s a bit judgemental. Tattoos don’t define a person, and just because someone has a neck tattoo or any tattoo does not mean they aren’t a decent human being.
