Placement
Neck and head tattoos
The neck and head are chosen for tattoos that become a noticeable part of your look. This can be minimal lettering, a miniature behind the ear or a bold colour piece on the side of the neck.
Placements in this area
01Neck tattooLettering, flowers and graphic work suit the neck: a piece on the side shows at once, while behind the ear or on the nape it hides under hair or a collar.
02Head tattooOrnaments, geometry and lettering suit the head: with short hair the piece is on show, and once the hair grows back it is barely visible.
About this area
Neck tattoos are placed on the front, side or back. The side suits an elongated design, the front a central composition, and the back of the neck a piece that flows onto the upper back. The placement depends on the idea: symmetry suits some designs, a free form suits others.
A head tattoo can cover the temple, the back of the head or span several areas. The rounded shape matters here: the piece should look good from different angles. A design for the head is developed for its exact placement, defining the flow and proportions of its elements.
The neck and head can become part of a larger project together with the chest and back. In that case the transitions are planned in advance so the separate areas match in style and scale.
