What the hell, do it. I wish I could but don't fancy shaving my head... Quite fancy one behind my ear tho... I just got the word "camel" down the side of my big toe so maybe shaving my head wouldn't be that bad...

:rofl: Thats a seriously funny tat :rofl: I love comedy tattoo's :laugh:
You've got me thinking now Jeevan... I don't want to seem like a wannabe or a thug, I suppose different people just see it in different ways. Might get a temporary and trial it lol.

Hi guys interesting thread...
I don't know if any of you watch Miami Ink, the owner of the shop is a guy called Ami. I think he does a bit of MMA too come to think of it.
However he is covered in tatoos and has one on his neck. He states that his neck tattoo is the only one he regrets. The reason he gives is that people visually judge him before they get to know him.
I love tattoos but i would draw the line going above the neck line because of peoples reactions to you.

I have always wanted a neck tattoo,
But theirs this niggling feeling in me that wont let me do it, If you feel slightly off about the idea mate, I wouldn't do it.
Lets face it it doesn't wash off that easy does it, Try getting a 6 Month one or a year one, At least if you like it then you can get it done after, Once its on its on!

Thats what im thinking about doin!!!!!

Hope that helps...

Head/Neck just aint for me

Good point mate about people judging you before they know you, I hate small minded people :growl:
Cheers Dom, yea I think I might get a temp just to see how it goes. Though I'm kinda coming round to the feeling that if I want it I should just get it f**k what people think :thumb

Yeh Ami is a fantastic Tattoo artist, some of chris Garvers tattoos are awesome

First off don't listen to anyone that suggest a temp tattoo, 6 months or a year later it WILL still be there, it's bullshit and I'd never touch a tattooist that says they do them, best case ifs they fade and look shit.

Head and nexck tats are a real fashion thing right now but most tat shops won't do them for a lot of reasons, they are the ones you're most likely to regret, lets face it a 70 year old bald guy with a head tattoo will look like a nutter no matter how nice a bloke he is and a tat is for life.

Do you have a lot of tats and is it a big part of your life? If so then that's a very different thing and shops will look at it differently, you've made a lifestyle choice and probably have some quite visible ink anyway. If that's all you've got or part of a small commitment to getting inked then artists are going to be very wary of your motives (they'll think you're trying to look like a hardcase)

Always bear in mind that people will judge you based on the head / neck tat if you get one.

Haha it makes me smile every time I look at it! I want another comedy one... :laugh:

woh woh wooooh! Hold on sunshine! Give your head a wobble. Better off getting a temp than getting a real one and regretting it for the rest of his life, simmer down!... lol:laugh:

Cheers for that mate, definately something to think about.
I'm having my torso done first so I'll re-evaluate nearer the time. Theres definately pro's and con's with this one lol.
If I get it done it will be a Japanese Proverb I repeat to myself often so it's a personal thing. It will always be there when I look in a mirror is why I fancy it on the head and not hidden away...

Thanks for the input guys :thumb
