Aesthetics and expressiveness: neck tattoo as a challenge to standards of beauty

Neck tattoo is a form of expression and cosmetic body modification that requires a master of high-level skills and artistic ingenuity.


Such body art, no doubt, can be attributed to the bold and even hardcore, because it is mostly considered socially unacceptable. However, times change, and this area of the body is increasingly in demand for tattoos. And with the right sketch and an experienced expert, you can create a real masterpiece.

To be honest, neck tattoos are considered one of the most painful.


The reason for this is the soft and sensitive skin, as well as a large number of nerve endings on this site. If you decide to tattoo on the neck, find an artist with experience in this delicate and sensitive area.

Some masters note that the Handpoke (tattoo technique) in the neck area is less painful than in the case of the machine. It also gives more possibilities for maneuvers, because the space between the chin and collarbone is limited. The application of complex patterns, geometric shapes or symbolic images requires a high degree of accuracy and professionalism on the part of the tattoo artist. This is especially important given the complex shape and flexibility of the neck and the sensitivity of the skin on it.

Application of the pigment in the neck area is considered more difficult than most other sites. The pigmentation process can cause significant discomfort. However, the firm decision to make a neck print reflects determination, non-conformism, a commitment to tattoo culture, and a willingness to accept more complex experiences, regardless of the amount of pain perceived.

The variety of tattoo sketches created specifically for neck anatomy is constantly growing.


Some of the works look harmonious or perform an idea exclusively on this site. Consider some interesting ideas for sketches.

The image of roses is extremely common in tattoo culture.


They can be performed in any style, ranging from black and white to colored new cheekbone. Regardless of the design chosen, it is a fundamental symbol in the world of body art with deep content. Rose is an expression of beauty and delicacy, but at the same time complexity, active protection and crisis. Each petal, tenon, shade, flower bend and other elements are able to represent some or other emotions, feelings and facets of human life.

The neck tattoo with this wild beast refers to the original instincts, masculinity, as well as ideas of materialism.


Wolves symbolize innate freedom, which is also fundamental to man and often determines his personality. Such a tattoo is the embodiment of great strength, loyalty and connection with nature. In addition to the sketch of the moon, trees, tribal or runic symbols can be created on the neck of a real tapestry that tells the world the personal history and values of its owner.

Neck tattoos for men often depict proud and immediate birds.


These proud creatures symbolize freedom, intelligence, and transcendence. Each bird has a unique meaning:

• The peacock is the embodiment of beauty, elegance, love and self-confidence.
• The owl symbolizes mystery, secrets, nightlife.
• The seagull refers to the sea and adventure, peace of mind and lack of attachment.
• The penguin embodies home comfort, cohesion, kindness and fun.
• The eagle speaks of courage, wit, coolness in situations when it is necessary, etc.

If you already have a neck tattoo, you can always supplement it.


A symbolic chain that comes out from under the skin and wraps up other elements of the composition, be it flowers, birds, animals, etc. The chain with detailed and graceful details can create the effect of realism, connection and interaction of different body art parts (especially convenient when you need to connect several small tattoos on the neck).

The chain can symbolize stiffness, limitations, life difficulties and other difficulties. However, it can be broken or loosened. In this case, the connotation changes to a more positive:

• Fighting and/or defeating a serious illness.
• Breaking Out of Dependency.
• Reminder of addictive behavior and its dangers.
• Overcoming other difficulties.
• The broken chain symbolizes the will and inner core of the human being.

Neck tattoos amaze with their aesthetics, courage, rebellious vibes and artistic diversity. At the same time, it is a powerful challenge, which can entail criticism of others and even social condemnation. However, no matter who owners and owners of bold body art will succeed in changing the public view and attitude to tattoo culture.
