Neck Tattoo Photo #23099

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 lines of varying thickness to define shape and depth, linework tattoos achieve expression through economy. The absence of shading keeps the focus on the quality and flow of each stroke.

The collarbone's clean horizontal line provides a natural guide for elongated designs. This placement adds a subtle accent to the upper body and works especially well with fine-line and minimalist styles.
