neck tattoo

Collar-level body art

A neck tattoo is a tattoo on the neck, typically visible above the collar.

Because neck tattoos are difficult to conceal in professional settings, they carry associations with countercultural commitment or disregard for conventional employment: He had neck tattoos and face piercings.

Getting a neck tattoo signals that someone has crossed a threshold of visibility that more easily hidden tattoos don't require.
