Okay, this one is aimed at all of you with tattoos you don't normally cover with clothes, ie wrists, collar/neck area...
I'm getting some more work done on my tattoo this week, and I'm certainly getting work done by my deltoids, pects and collarbones. However, I'm also considering getting work done a little way up my neck as well (Something a collar would cover, but visible in a t-shirt) Of all the people that have seen my tattoo (about 50), I've only had one vaguely negative comment, and that didn't really bother me, but I'm wondering if people react differently to work that's more visible...
I'm definately getting work done, that's a given, I'm just wondering if I should go for the neck as well...
Any thoughts? Advice?

i say fuck 'em, get whatever Tatt makes YOU happy, and get it really big.
anyways after awhile you get tired of people wanting to see your work, and plus, the whole "chicks dig tattoos" aka "tattoos get you laid" seem to only hold true if your a tattooist...or another chick.
now gimme 3 Hail Satans and report back when u get that tatt done.

Hey! Well I know several people who have neck tattoos and yes I think they're hot as shit however it is a huge step. One of the guys I know who did it (a tattoo artist) told me he woke up the next morning and puked from the shock, another guy who's really covered told me he also came pretty close to puking. So really think about it. Unfortuntely there are still people out there who will discriminate against you even though tattooing has been successfully elevated to the realm of fine art. When I am a work dealing with producers, I wear long sleeves for the most part. It sucks that I have to do that to get them to take me seriously but the tattoos are a third strike against me...I am a woman, I have bright red hair and I have tattoos and I am put in a position often where I have to tell large groups of mostly men how to do the job. Most of them don't care at all but the suits sometimes stare at the tat and pay no attention to what I am saying and that just irritates the fuck out of me. You should think about wether its going to affect your career. Don't just say FUCK THEM ALL and do it, that is not the attitude of an adult. If you're on a carrer path where people dont care then go for it and I'll be right behind you with the Hail Satans....otherwise take your time and think about it. You have the rest of your life to have an illustrated body. There's no rush. wink

here's my reason that i think guys with visible tattoos are hot:
it totally dig seeing a guy who has made a personal committment to the artistic aspect of his body. i mean, if you think about it girls have tons of way to express themselves (hair, makeup, clothes, etc.), but guys who have the balls to permanently distinguish themselves from everyone else in such a personal way....i find that hot.
but i also like licking tattoos, so maybe thats just my fetish...i dunno.
