Phase Two Of My Dream Tattoo By Silvia! I Am Just So In Love!!
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.
Loving The Depth On This One
"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.

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.
Amazing Neck Tattoo
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.

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.

If you change your mind....Very difficult to cover up with clothes. Re-do would be horrible. *Shudders*. Yeah, yeah , I get it. People can do whatever they want with their own bodies. Really none of my business. *shudders again*.
But a few of them have admirable attention to detail and precise work.
