Neck Tattoo Photo #23089

The skin moves a lot, which means linework and shading need to be intentional. Think about sun exposure and daily clothing friction, because the neck gets a lot of wear.

Using only black ink at different dilutions, this style achieves a photographic quality with rich shadows and soft highlights. Black and grey work is versatile enough for portraits, nature scenes, and symbolic imagery.

A spine tattoo draws attention to the body's natural symmetry, creating a bold centerline that works well with flowing or geometric designs. The placement is dramatic and easily hidden under clothing.
