Neck tattoos

[ghostrunner]

This really bothers me. I have no general problem with tattoos. Even a full body tattoo covering everything is okay. I saw the Enigma (who has puzzle pieces all over him) once in a grocery store in Austin. But doing the neck and stopping at the face unsettles me in ways I don't completely understand.

In Austin, I see SO many young people with neck tattoos - like, 19 year olds working in sandwich shops. I want to grab them by the shoulders and scream at them "Right now you are really young, and looking cool seems like the only thing that matters, but my god man, you're gonna be working in a sandwich shop for the rest of your life with that thing you got engraved on your neck!" Then I would throttle them.

It wouldn't do any good for the neck tattoo wearer - too late for him - but would serve a good warning/wakeup call to everyone nearby.

Didn't the guys in the first picture almost die in a plane crash recently?

Yeah, that's partly what prompted it. I've been seeing the picture everywhere.

I approve of this thread. I don't have much respect for anyone with a neck tattoo.

This is something that could be practiced by a select few and better left alone by most trying to earn a living. You can try and be punk and different all you want, but punk don't pay, and I'm more concerned with getting paid than being outside the box.

I don't really "get" tattoos in general, but particularly ones that can't be easily covered up by clothing.

I have seen a couple of girls with tattoos on the back of their neck, it can look really sexy and be easily hidden by long hair...imo

I'm not so much offended by it, it just gives me the creeps for some weird reason. In the way people don't like heights or small confines.

The second pic I posted is a guy who won Project Runway, and I could never tell if he had a ridiculously long neck already or the tattoo just made it seem that way.
