FAQs
Why are neck tattoos called jobstoppers?
As the name would imply, jobstoppers refer to tattoos that are difficult, if not impossible, to hide on places like the face, hands and neck. In the past, tattoos—especially highly visible ones—carried strong associations with criminality that can still be felt today in different parts of the world.
Because of these ties to criminal elements, in the past employers were unlikely to hire someone with visible tattoos: hence, jobstoppers.
While you may be able to get a job bartending in Portland, a neck tattoo very well may still disqualify you from more professional settings like offices and board rooms, so make sure you’re comfortable with getting a neck piece and the stigma it may entail.
What styles work for rose neck tattoo ides?
Simple is often beautiful with rose neck tattoo designs. Linework and negative space roses work effectively, while American traditional applications featuring bold lines and crisp colors also look good.
If you want to be daring, bringing vivid color and bright designs featured in new wave and neo traditional rose pieces can pop.
If you’re a collector that prefers a more traditional design palette, black and gray rose tattoos utilize great variations in shading, line, and contrasting ink application to look snug in a range of placements on the neck and nape.
Are all rose neck tattoos small?
Once upon a time, a neck tattoo would only be small. It was either a bit image behind the ear or at the nape or a design etched with simplicity.
In the modern era, neck tattoos are more popular and have exploded in size and visibility. Talented tattoo artists can make a small tattoo larger, encompassing the center of the neck and throat, or either side, and apply a fine detailed approach to the flower petals, and even thorns and stems.
Can I get a temporary neck tattoo and test the rose design?
Absolutely. In fact, if you aren’t an experienced tattoo enthusiast with little idea of the reaction visible tattoos draw from other people, I’d highly recommend you try it out before making a permanent decision.
Temporary tattoos can last from 1-2 weeks, are excellent in working out issues with size, placement and visibility issues, and allow you to get more information together to make an informed neck tattoo decision.
