For JonBoy of New York City’s Bang Bang Tattoo, it all started with Sofia Richie, who came to him to have the word “clarity” inked just a few inches below her left ear. “She was so young, and breaking into the modeling industry,” he was quoted as saying. “I was like, ‘are you sure?’ and she was like, ‘yeah, of course, I just want it super small in print letters.'” The dainty and delicate fine line delicacy of the lettering looked amazingly perfect on Sofia Richie’s lovely and swanlike neck, and when she posted it on Instagram, the neck tattoos for women craze began.
The aesthetic revolution has made its mark and it has picked its muse. Like it or not, neck tattoos are invading the scene and are now pretty hot as a trend. So who hasn’t heard or seen pictures of David Beckham’s four birds of prey flying upward from beneath his ear to his hairline?
Or Wiz Khalifa’s tattoos of a music note, a Koi fish, the word “faith” and some mosaic designs such as a star and angelic wings inked over his neck?
Just recently, Zayn Malik marked his break up with Gigi Hadid with two neck tattoos.
And there’s Kanye West wanting the name of his son Saint West inked on his neck.
That is not to mention Rihanna’s and Justin Bieber’s unique and standout neck tattoos.
Most people do not really notice your neck at first glance – it’s usually the eyes, lips, expression, and body gestures that catch one’s attention. Yet the neck is one of the sultriest parts of the body. In fact, a recent survey conducted by Mirror had responders who voted for the neck as the sexiest part of a woman’s body.
“I think the sexiest part of my girl’s body is her neck, it looks really stroke-able. There’s nothing nicer or sweeter than nuzzling into your girlfriend’s neck,” wrote one respondent.
Another respondent has this to say about women’s neck: “Girls who play with the hair at the back of their head are a real turn-on. It reveals their neck, which is a really sexy place on a woman.”
I couldn’t agree more.
So what can highlight your sexy neck better than a luxurious tattoo inked around the base of your neck, or cleverly placed beneath the ears, a little lower perhaps, just right at the most kissable area?
