Neck Tattoos are gaining a great deal of popularity today, as they’re fairly versatile. They can be either extremely obvious or very discreet, depending on where you get them. If you want to make a big statement, tattoos on the side or front of the neck are a good option. If you want the opportunity to cover them up, however, then the back of the neck might be better for you. This is an excellent spot for those who want the ability to hide their tattoos (in this case with longer hair) whenever necessary.
If you have short hair, then you can still make a bold statement with a back neck tattoo. Most of the times, they will extend down the back, as would happen if you had a chain tattoo, flowers, vine or cross etc. Back neck tattoos are popular with both men and women, but women often like ones that give the appearance of jewelry…permanent jewelry that is. Tattoos on the neck may be a bit too dramatic for some people, but if you’re looking to make a statement then it can be a fun choice to make. The combination of a great design and a highly visible and sensitive area like the neck can leave a dramatic impression.

This is a very interesting question. Why are neck tattoos so popular these days? Well, many people believe it’s because we’re constantly trying to push the boundaries of what society deems is acceptable. In the past, most people had tattoos on areas of their body that they could easily cover up, as society looked at visible tattoos as a sort of taboo. Additionally, people wanted the option of being able to hide their tattoo in corporate environments or in formal social settings. This has all changed today. There is no longer the same stigmatism pertaining to visible tattoos…at least not really in the U.S. where celebrities have helped make visible tattoos en vogue. Nowadays, it’s pretty commonplace to see people with tattoos on exposed areas of their body. Tattoos on the neck in particular are really making waves, as the neck is such a visible area. Here, you can guarantee that your tattoo will be visible and that it will make a lasting impression on others. Tattoos on the back of the neck like the one pictured below is an area of the neck that is probably increasing most rapidly in popularity.

Recently, star tattoos have become quite popular – especially with women. Sometimes women wear star tattoos on the back of the neck, but occasionally you’ll see women wearing a star tattoo that completely encircles the neck, as the picture below highlights. This tattoo hangs a bit low around the neck, like a necklace would. Usually, ones that go completely around the neck tend to be higher, as a choker would be worn. These tend to be feminine just as butterfly neck tattoos are. You don’t see too many guys with these designs! On this area of the body, you’re more likely to see a guy with neck tribal tattoos or something that exudes power and masculinity.

Whether it is intentional or not, neck tattoos make a statement to everyone you meet in life. It is rather difficult to cover up a tattoo on the neck, even if it is placed down low near the collar bone. This is very different from back tattoos or leg tattoos. This is a tattoo that is going to be noticed for better or worse, so it’s important that you think about the statement you want to make and what reflection you want this tattoo to make about you. Just make sure that the design or symbol you select for your neck is going to really represent who you are, or what you would want others to think or know about you.
Thinking Ahead:
Obviously, tattoos are permanent so you have to think to the future. What will this tattoo say about you when you are ten years older? How is it going to look when you begin to age? Is it in a location that is going to age well with you? Tattoos may be fun and fashionable right now, but they are also something that goes with you through the rest of your life. That could be a great thing and a permanent reminder of who you are right now and what you have been through. Just make certain that the tattoo displays the right sentiments and represents the statement you are trying to make.
