Tattoos on the nape of the neck.
Small, fine and quickly covered when you wear your hair down. The nape is the place for a quiet design that is only seen now and then.

What works well here.
Small, fine designs suit this area well. Lines along the spine look elegant and lengthen the silhouette.
What your Artist looks out for with your tattoo on the nape of the neck.
Your Artist plans the motif and size for your placement and adjusts the design until it is right. These are the points you discuss together.
- 01Centred alignmentYour Artist aligns the design with your spine and checks it with your head upright and tilted.
- 02Hair and collarsTell your Artist how you usually wear your hair. Then you know in advance when it will be visible.
- 03A little larger is betterVery small designs lose clarity over the years. One or two extra centimetres often make the difference.

Frequently asked questions about nape tattoos
Is the nape good for a first tattoo?
For a small design, yes. It is tattooed quickly and easy to cover.
And on the neck?
A tattoo on the neck is almost always visible, so it deserves careful thought. In the consultation you can work out what suits you.
Can I see and change the design beforehand?
Yes. Once you have chosen your Artist and paid the deposit, they draw your design and adjust it with you until you say: this is exactly how I want it. This can happen by message over several rounds or together in person.
How much does a tattoo cost?
That depends on size, placement, style and effort. The Artist sets the price after you have talked about your design. Some of our Artists offer payment in instalments, usually via PayPal or Klarna. Whether this is possible, on what terms and over what period is decided by the Artist, who will tell you in the consultation. The studio is not involved. More in the price guide.
