first things first please dont post "its disgusting" or "they look crap or dirty"
i know some things like a name or swirly tribal mostly look shit but what i am interested in is getting a nice colourful lotus, its just in the thinking stage and im looking for opinions on the area etc
iv done my apprenticeship and im fully qualified and since ill probably always be in engineering i cant see a problem in that sence and its becoming more accepted anyway,
its not a first tattoo either. just looking for hopefully non biased opinions

don't do it
I like tattoos, but come up with something original or meaningful.

I've always said I wouldn't get one where it can't be hidden by a long sleeved shirt.
Suppose you could hide it if you had long hair tho

I like them on the neck, but a mate of a mate has one on his neck and I've been out a few times with him drinking and the bouncers havent let him into the clubs or pubs.
They never actually say its the neck tattoo but I think it is. The last time they said he'd been spotted on CCTV looking too drunk in the high street but we hadnt even gone through the high street.

also its worth noting alot of tattooists will not tatoo you on your neck for the first time, they will ask if you have already have them on there.

That's exactly why I had my tattoo done on my leg and any others I'll have done will always be in places that aren't on show when wearing work clothes! Doesn't always create the best impression.

Ive seen a few people turned away from places when out due to neck tattoos too.
IMO I wouldnt employ anyone who had visible tattoos like that, not because they would bother me, but they cou;d/would bother some customers enough for them to go elsewhere.
