Neck tattoos ideas

Neck is one of the most visible places of our body, that is why neck tattoos can afford only brave and outstanding people who are not afraid to show their character.


In addition, the process of creating such a tattoo is quite difficult because of the features of the body place on which the picture will be applied, and the actual process of tattooing for women, at least, can be more tangible than elsewhere on the body. It is important to take into account that due to the physiological features of the neck, not all sketches can be implemented on the neck and, in addition, it is worth taking a responsible approach to the choice of the master - because in case of any mistake, it will be difficult to hide.

Still, despite all the drawbacks of such tattoos, why are they so popular?

Neck tattoo is an original body art, a certain beautification that attracts attention and can tell a lot about the character of the owner. And at the same time, on the neck you can also get "personal" tattoos and messages hidden from the eyes. They can be intended only for the closest. So, let’s figure out which parts of the neck and which tattoos to choose, what their meaning and features.

The fashion for neck tattoos came to us from the West about twenty years ago and was met by our conservative society rather negative.


Neck tattoos were protested. They were understood as such that are going beyond the usual limits. But since then, after a period of fashionable barcodes and dubious characters, modern neck tattoos for men and women have become a real art of styles and expressions.

Neck tattoos can be applied from different sides, depending on which sketch or technique you choose for yourself, as well as on the size of the drawing:

• tattoo on the back of the neck (more common in women, small tattoos that can be covered with hair if necessary);
• Neck tattoo behind the ear (elegant sketches relating to the "personal" tattoo);
• the side of the neck (on either side, it is already a large enough area to implement your ideas);
• under the chin (in certain subcultures and styles, such tattoos are very popular, but not so common, so they can be considered "widely known in narrow circles");
• tattoos on the front of the neck (such tattoos are often quite big, passing over the shoulders or breasts, often performed in complex techniques and incredibly beautiful).

Today, there are many styles performed in which neck tattoos look not just original, but truly incredible: biomechanics, realism, Chicano, watercolor. The most daring and original neck tattoo owners choose complex and beautiful sketches, not just attracting attention, and fascinating.

Neck tattoos for women are so diverse that any girl or woman who dreams of a tattoo will be able to choose the most successful option for themselves.


It is not necessary to be a daring rebel to get a neck tattoo, because among the huge number of options available a lot of elegant sketches and small minimalist female tattoos.

There are several popular options among girls for tattooing on the neck:

• tattoo on the back of the neck, such drawings often choose introverts or girls and women who prefer a narrow circle of communication;
• respectively, on the front of the neck tattoos are preferred open girls, extraverted and sociable;
• the neck tattoo on the side reveals a creative, original nature with its view on life in all its manifestations;
• very rare, but still possible, neck tattoos - such drawings are far from suitable for everyone because of the difficulty of performing, but choose their personalities original, who do not care about others' opinion, and they are not afraid of publicity.

Contrary to the stereotype that women prefer flower or ornamental tattoos, beautiful ladies are not limited to these motives and there are a huge number of variants of neck tattoos for women: animals and birds, snakes or butterflies, space themes and symbols and many others.

Of course, all definitions are conditional and do not always reflect the character of the owner of the tattoo, and to draw conclusions based solely on the tattoo when meeting a girl is completely wrong.

It is often said that men apply noticeable, huge, complex tattoos and like a lot of details.


Most of the time it is true, but still, look at the deep minimalist neck tattoos for men. Spoiler: they’re very beautiful.

Most of the clients prefer large monochrome neck tattoos and this is likely due not only to the brutality of the character of the owner, but also to the complexity of the implementation. At the same time, today more and more male tattoos are created in color and may soon change the ratio.

It is not said that there are certain rules for tattooing on the neck for men or the most popular images. Today it is difficult to talk about the popularity of a particular drawing or style in tattoos for men, because there are a huge number of them, and everyone chooses a unique solution.

But speaking of the symbolism and meaning of tattoos, it is worth noting that there are several images that still retain the depth of meaning:

• The rose - in different combinations: with a weapon, a cross or a predator, or just a flower - means confidence, the beauty of the soul and a propensity for mercy and at the same time, an inner strength.
• Predators - and whatever it is - scorpion or tarantula, wolf or eagle - such drawings prefer men to be reasonable, bold, and willing to take responsibility in any situation.
• Ornaments - the main choice of the master who knows them well- at all times warriors tattooed ornaments on the neck, symbolizing their strength, power, courage, and protective symbols.

Modern tattoo skills are as developed as the imagination of the master, which means that there are no boundaries. The main thing is to find a professional to implement your task, and which has a portfolio of the neck tattoos.
