I'm a signwriter by trade. I do know people change careers and I'm still fairly young. I dont have a problem with visible tattoos as I have both arms from wrist to shoulder tattooed and one leg, I wear t-shirts most days. But the face, side of the neck, throat etc seems to me, to be a bit more intense than other visible tattoos. I personally dont have a problem getting the back of my neck done, I was just wondering what other people stigmas are for it.
A good option maybe to take a collared shirt with me and draw a line where the collar sits and keeping it below that.
