THE NECK TATTOO by Guest Blogger….Priya Prasad
What is this Neck Tattoo ‘trend’ running rampant in our society these days?? I mean, I get it if you have been to prison a multitude of times, and your hopes of working in Corporate America have been bashed against the Plymouth Rock and shattered in a thousand pieces. Then, PLEASE feel free to TAT up every inch of your neck and face. But, DO NOT look at me seriously and tell me that you have high goals in the finance world, or running for any kind of political office when your neck reads “Sharonda Watkins” with a heart around it…Or “All Eyez on Me” in Japanese letters with a Gun shooting off two rounds on top of it.
Why is it that recently this crazy FAD has taken over the streets? Ever since Lil’ Wayne stepped on the scene it seems like the general population is trying their DAMNEDEST to get tear drops embedded on their face. REALLY?? Is this the future our children have to look forward too…maybe get a TRAMP STAMP when you graduate from middle school, and one TEAR DROP for every year of high school you complete. When you graduate from college you get: “YOU KNOW IT BITCH!” tattooed on your neck.
Even Chris Brown is in on it. When he first came out he was a good looking, preppy, MJ-ish dancing kid…now he is a woman beating NECK TATTOO having WANNABE THUG Man Boy. ROLE MODEL?? I think not. Who ARE these NECK TATTOO role models anyways? Do kids wake up one morning dying to be like..Bird Man? or how about, “Mommy one day I want to make out with Lil Wayne and tell everyone… I’m havin his Baby.!”
I think they should have regulations against such atrocities…
“SECTION 8 DENIED…IF YOUR NECK IS DYED!”
Maybe that will make people strive for excellence…… instead of NECKcellence.
There are a lot of things I am cool WITH…..BUT “NECK TATTOO’S”??? ….IM COOL ON THAT!!!

LOL!!! Friggin HILARIOUS! Keep ’em coming!
good stuff….what happen to the classy look?
p.s. you betta not let this blog go by the wayside like most people do….let’s hear from you everyday. 10-4
Wow… Hi-damn-larious… but despite being drenched with hilarity… you really spit some truth in this one… its actually kinda scary the lack of role models we have in society… if the children are our future… the future isn’t looking too bright…
THIS BAFOON’EGRO also got a lil Wayne-esque tat on his fo’head, he says,” The new tat is a crack on the upper left side of my forehead, it’s because, I don’t crack. I feel like people always try to break me, but I don’t crack(except when u play LBJ) so, I put that there.”…no, u don’t crack, but u r a CRACK HEAD, & he’s valued @ a meer five…five dollar…five dollar foot…up his ass!
WOW…Subway remix…Nice
LMAOOOOOOOOO @mr. James CEO
BAFOON’EGRO!?!?!?!?!?!? ROTFLMAO!!!!!! Good Stuff Man…Good Stuff!
just plain ole ghetto…i can’t stand it..lemme tell u a story..someone I use to deal with came home..from the pen i might add…lmao…with my name..first and last on his neck..i was like WTF? I mean i was literally floored..was that suppose to be some form of flattery? I started crying , begged and pleaded with him to cover that shit up with the quickness..i mean what kinda ghetto hot steamin mess was that? I had never been sooo embarrassed in my life.. that really showed me how ignorant that person was..as if i didn’t already know.. I do soooo much SMDH at our people. we gotta do betta..i even have a family member that has XXXXX’s Girl ..always and forever on her neck..all at the ripe ole age of 25..WTF? hope she ain’t reading this post..lol..folks have noo clue how these dam tatoo’s will mess up their lives and limit the possibilities… I know i ain’t hiring nobody all tatted up..
You have me in tears over here!! I hope he removed that tat!
LOL me too. It is a hot ghetto steamy mess as you put it. I just got out of school a year ago, and coming back home and riding the bus I see a lot of teenagers with the tattoos on their necks and Im wondering wow, do you realize you wont be hired!?!?!….
Someone needs to educate the youths, I do the best I can for the ones I know.
If my kid ever said, “Mommy one day I want to make out with Lil Wayne and tell everyone… I’m havin his Baby!” Just come visit me in prison! Hilarious!
I DONT LIKE WHEN PEOPLE COVER THEIR BODIES WITH GRAFITTI..THE HUMAN BODY IS A BEAUTIFUL THING NO MATTER WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE..FAT SKINNEY TALL OR SMALL…I CAN SEE IF YOUR COVERING A SCAR..BUT WHAT ABOUT WHEN YOU GET OLD..THAT TATT IS GONNA SAG EVENTUALLY. ONE OR TWO TATTS SURE..BUT THE NECK EYELIDS OR YOUR FACE LIKE THE GAME..IM SURE HE SCARES PEOPLES CHILDREN ON THE REGULAR. I DONT LIKE THE NECK THING AT ALL. OR THEM ALIEN ASS STARS PEOPLE PUT UP THE BACK OF THE NECK.. IF I CAN’T SEE YOUR NATURAL SKIN AND BEAUTY ITS A WRAP.
I do not have a tattoo. My first one was going to be my husband’s nickname P-Nut big as day on the side of my neck. Yeah, so we divorced 3 years later and I am SO glad I didn’t do it. I enjoy a nice “Corp o Rate” job. I didn’t get the tattoo and I only had to worry about my “work voice”…sometimes I’m so hood. Neck tattoo’s… I m cool on that
LMAO!!!! I was just at my aunts birthday party…and their old asses starting to get these dam tats!….mind u I’m 31 so…they gotta be…2 DAM OLD!!!
HILARITY!!!!! I love all the comments…thanks for the support yawl!
@A-Dub….you had me at “came home…from the pen”…hahahahahahhaahhahaaaaa
i kid u not…and he went back for a 17 year fed bid..lol.. what a looser..that’s proof for any of you youngins reading this post.. tatoos on the neck = time in the pen..
amen!
‘a tear drop for every year you finish high school’- GENIUS!!!
I was gonna get my website tatted on mah neck Pri Pri. Wait I don’t have a website. Should I tat the address on my neck first or should I buy the domain name first? Whut to do whut to do. Hahahaha

I don’t know who this Priya trick is…but she sure is brilliant and observant. I’m not a fan of neck tats either. It basically lets people know up front that you are a piece of shit with no self worth and you REALLY don’t want to be taken seriously.
I am this Priya Trick…Trick love the kids, just not the ones with neck tattoos
This is hilarious!!!!! However, this is nothing but the truth. It’s pretty disgusting. I once had a tattoo (an ex husband’s name). I was always embarrassed by it, so I finally had it lasered off. I think I’m going to open a tattoo laser removal business. In a decade or so, when these young idiots finally grow up and gain some common sense, my business should prosper. 😉
Eileen, there is a doc at Kaiser that does Gang Related Tattoo Removals for free…as a good deed to the community….if you can convince him that you have a Gang Related Whinnie the Pooh Tat on your hip …you are set!!!! LMAOOO
lmao..
The children are only following what adults are doing. We do have a mess on our hands.
If yo Neck is Tatted Your Food stamps Are Granted!!!

im adding this to the Bill I will be presenting to Congress next week.
Dude – the RED LIPS tattoo… i may go psycho white girl on the next muffuka i see with one…
“SECTION 8 DENIED…IF YOUR NECK IS DYED!”
CLASSIC!!!!!! I’ll be back to read more!
City, I’m sending a Bill to Congress i will need your signature…lol
Funny as shit Pri…the fact that it’s true makes it hilarious. One of my clients has the word, “Misunderstood” across his neck,…all I could say was, “You think!?”
now that is comedy!!!!! hilarity!
My cousin just got a neck tat, and this jackass is trying to get a job at a Bank. I tried to tell that clown.
email him this blog and tell him to comment! lol
dummy..u need to let him read this blog..
This is way TOO FUNNY! I just saw a girl at the hair shop with a front neck tattoo! You couldn’t miss it, it was big like a choker necklace! She didn’t even look like the type to have tat on her neck. I just thought to myself, what a waste of ink! She’s going to hate herself when she’s 80 years old! LOL!
LOVE IT!!!…i dont have any tats an am happy i came from a solid foundation….Saw a 16 girl the other day with two huge TWEETY BIRDS!!!..WTH??…SAID THEY WERE BIRTHDAY GIFTS…WOW MOM!!!…step ya game up!!
hahaha..i pray my kids know betta, but the cold part about it is that even if they have a moment of stupidity these tat shops are still inking them up..i know i’d be filing a lawsuit if someone tatted up my minor kids…then use the money to have that shit burned off..
Yawn.I have my neck tatted, 1/2 sleeves and now my entire back. I don’t have a single name or words on me. I have an engineering degree, perfect credit, $$ in the bank and NO police record whatsoever.
Stereotypes and genralizations are awesome.
This is more about roll models, education and parenting anyways.
ahhh i was waiting for a Tatted person’s response…but really?? you can’t see the humor it?? C’mon Son!
You must fall in that super rare super fortunate category. Think about it. A lot of people who get tattoos are inspired by those who can express themselves in such a way without being subject to ridicule or could care less ($$$). I like tattoos. I love self expression and art. Could we maybe benefit in a world less condemning of self-expression?
How is getting someone else to etch ink into your skin a form of “self”-expression? Furthermore tattoos are rarely ever original. They are simply pictures or concepts borrowed from cartoons, celebrities, languages or cultures to which the bearer has no personal connection or affliation. Self expression is a term used to couch/justify a practice which lacks originality.
When your tatts start to fade and begin to sag your goin to need your $$ in the back to tighten/refresh those bad boys up. I am curious about your motivation in deciding to ink your skin. Not one or two but 1/2 sleeves and your entire back? Is every tatt that you have so important that it is insufficient to contain it in your mind or in a notebook but requires that it be marked permanently upon your body? Everything can’t be THAT important. C’mon son!

ima get a neck tatoo that reads ” check out my head game” and have an arrow pointing upward…that would be necknificent or necktacular…lol
Niccas have LOST THEY MIND! WAIT TIL THEY GET 60 AND THAT SKIN STARTS TO ROLL DOWN THEY NECK! ITS GONNA LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE A PERMANET BLACK NECKLACE!
hey priyad im going to nickname u “Necki Minaj” lmao
um WHAT???? LMAOOOOO
i hope those people that have been dumb enough to ink up their necks are reading this and feel about two inches tall..not really , but u know what i’m saying..my hope is that they rethink any future idiotic shit they do.. think about the long term..not short term..and yeah..i see a lucrative business is in the laser tat removal arena..
Too True! So sad…
A childhood friend of mine just got one!!!!!!! I told her, DON’T FREAKIN’ DO THAT TO YOURSELF!! Of course, when she saw me she tried to cover that mess up and then snickered like that ish was cute! Really?! Is that what’s goin’ on in the streets?! HA! What do I look like when WE go pick up our kids from school standing next to HER, WITH A NECK TATTOO :o/ Do me the favor of wearing a turtleneck if you plan on hanging anywhere near me! Thanks ;o)
Awwww Priya….you always tell it like it is and all of the ex’s from the pen with neck tatoos………sighhhhhhhhh…….I think I ned one tear tatted on my face just for them. But first I must pour a little out
not too much carrie…we need some for tonight~!
Funny Stuff, Pri Pri!!
I apologize fir not reading all the comments so I hope I’m not being redundant but: The following was taken from an indepth investigation from a former gang member named Greenbull on the issue of tattoo lips in the neck-The majority of Hispanic Gang members claimed the “Red Lips” were symbolizing their girlfriend’s/Wife’s last kiss before the Gang member goes away (is incarcerated).
Umm…did Kenyon Martin do his homework first?
Ahhhh damn…another damn blog relating to me LOL. I don’t have a neck tatt…but my older sister has a panther on her neck. & YES she’s spent some time (more than she wanted) in the pen. She regrets it now of course! By the way, what about the new trend…tatts across the chest of women?? Not on their breast…but huge going across their entire chest. I guess that’s another topic because my child and cousin both came home with that crazy shit…SMH
HILARIOUS Priya…luv it!!!!!
hilarity Shante (exclamation mark)
tasteless (especially on the sides or in front) but who cares if you’re totally self-sufficient, you don’t rely on anyone else to make your money. oh and i guess i don’t mind them on tattoo artists either. “section 8 denied” “food stamps denied” haaaaaaaaaaaa! that may actually help curb this unfortunate phenomena
Lol!
…. Why you Bougie Mutha*****s* always hatin’? Sometimes I nigga just need to show some luv fo his bitch u feel me?
haah haaaa kidding get at em Pri-40!!!! Imcoolonthat.com …..
woot woot!!
@Priya * Rookie comes in the game swingin for the fence!! GOOD WORK YUNG PRI-ZEY!!! Hilarity + The Real Deal!!! KUDOS!!! lmfaoooo
KUDOS THIS @$#$#@!!! LMAOOOO
Nile, you never show any signs of weakness when you put your thoughts on paper or in this case, on your web page. I must say, now that Lil Wayne is going to prison. He can finally earn that teardrop under his eye. As far as tattoos on the necks, every man has the right to do as they see fit to themself. Which is why I agree with you, why would you wanna fuck youself out of getting ahead in life. Its funny to see hood shit apart of mainstream way of life. All we have to do now is let these idiots live in the hood and we’ll take their place in regular society. Damn, if I could only take back the hands of time to when I got my mom’s name tatted on my neck, lol. Yah thought I really did. Hahaha….. But I’m not gonna lie. I contemplated once or twice about it. Lol… Maybe, if I wanna feel accepted by society… Lol
Thnx Tadao these were my thoughts…just approved by Nile LOL 😉 where is your boombox and bike???
Hella funny & on point!!!!
agreed, good post
and don’t forget about the NBA, there are a bunch of neck tattoos getting major air time on ESPN… so for the record, if you aren’t a rapper or in the NBA, you shouldn’t get a neck tattoo.
uh oooh Manoj in da house!!!
Funny blog Priya!
I might have told you this but, I saw a guy in San Jose who had to be at the very oldest, 21. He had tatted across his neck, “fuck bitches” in script. wow. really?? Sad commentary on…well, a lot of things.
keep writing!
I feel you on the neck tats. I’m just hatin on all the nonsense people have permanently etched in their skin. Boom boxes, dogs, random words, area codes, fruit, cartoon characters…the list goes on. I posted about it with the Tattoo Thing: http://wp.me/prZs4-8T
We should never judge a book by its cover…don’t have any tatts but who I’m I to say what the next person should have….Everyone is entitled to their opinion
everyone is entitled for sure Vonn…and yes there are plenty of well functioning people with neck tattoos…but the site is not thingsthatpeopleshouldnotbejudgedon.com it’s imcoolonthat.com
SO therefore I am super cool on neck tattoos! LOL
Priya,
My sister from “another Mista”, you’ve done it again. This couldn’t be more on the money.
It annoys me to be damned, how our society seems to be going to hell in a handbasket. This is partially why I keep a passport on deck. While skinny jeans, and excessive piercings have swept the nation, I also respect the fact that jeans can be laundered and piercings can be removed.
W/ that stated, and bearing the fact in mind that “TATTOOS ARE FOREVER”, it has become a compelling force w/in my spirit to alert the press of the obvious……the decisions that we make today determine the outcome of our tomorrow(s). Choose wisely. You only get one chance.
priya this is hilarious, and so true. more! more!!
@vonn: ppl who tattoo their necks are clearly ASKING to be judged by their cover…er, i mean, necks.
I never got the tat thing. Some men look good with a ta but to tat your whole body is just too much. and what is up with men tatting their names on their body hello are you that fucking dumb you forget your own name. I am also tired of women with the paws on their breast just nasty. I have a friend he had a tat , gained weight and now it is just part of his stretch marks…lol
Love your blog!!! At one time I was attracted to guys with tattoo’s on their neck, but seriously…so not classy & I always think I could never bring him around my mom!
thanks Gia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was good Priyah.
Girl I hear ya! Neck tatoos need to DYE with boys wearing saggy skinny jeans showin their draws!
SECTION 8 DENIED CAUSE YOUR NECK IS DYED!!! LOL
neck tattoos should stop at rappers and athletes and baby daddy’s LMAO
Funny stuff right there!!
THIS IS HI-LAR-I-CAL!!! You need a regular soapbox to sound off! It’s like you stepped into my mind and laid it all out on paper…This is a wake up call for sure! WOW! You did your thing on this piece! *Waving my church hankie in the air…testifin’* LOL! Wonderful Job Girlie!
~ OQ
thanks Queen

pri diddy combs – you put it down! … and if any of you feel any kind of way about this post she is definitely talking to YOU! i saw a young kid this weekend who had the louis vuitton monogram covering his entire right arm! i playfully suggested he get the damier print on his left arm to complete the package, he looked at me sideways and i clarified by saying “you know, the checkerboard print”… he said he was getting it NEXT MONTH!! no joke. kids are dumb as hell these days… what’s next?? http://current.com/items/89270417_tattooed-louis-vuitton-pig.htm

LOL you, my friend, are thee funniest EVER in life!! that’s my dawg!!
I love sexy tattoos on strippers lol.
neck tattoos look good on some men, they just better be working in a decent job before they get it, unless of course they are celebs then they can get away with anything…NEVER on a woman though, that is not classy or ladylike…
neck tattoos are gross…
It’s gettin old, be an innovator, not a follower. Just like chicks shaving one side of their head! Yawn!
That’s one thing I whould never do is get tat on my body!
Well, ITS YOUR CHOICE, but there is ALWAYS a ROOT to something, find out what it represents.
Follow me- Sir_CAM_elot
I JUST DIED!
1 tear per year of completed high school? I’m all for it!
But seriously, what goal-oriented person would tat 2 nipples surrounded by rose petals on the front of their neck? Why the head janitor at my hospital of course! UGH! I am SOOOOOO COOL ON THAT!
Keep the blogs coming! I needed that laugh!
Hysterical! I totally agree, neck tats are hideous.
The “Mommy one day I want to make out with Lil Wayne and tell everyone… I’m havin his Baby.!” killed me slowly! pahaha!
okay, i dont have a problem with like small neck tattoos, it’s just the ones that are outrageously huge for no reason at except to draw attention. those bother me.
somebody said they were tired of those red lips tattoos. ughhhhh so am i. they’re quite tacky now that they’re becoming a fad. it was cute when Kenyon Martin was the only one, but come on now, Soulja Boy, really? SMH
great post, btw!
Hella funny and true..
My Favs:
“All Eyez on Me” in Japanese letters with a Gun shooting off two rounds on top of it.”
“When you graduate from college you get: “YOU KNOW IT BITCH!” tattooed on your neck.”
ROTFLMFAO!!
WOOT WOOT THANKS KHARI
“SECTION 8 DENIED…IF YOUR NECK IS DYED!”…LOL..good stuff Priya
Real talk….you can’t walk around wearin a turtle neck in the summer tryin to work in corp. america! Just keepin it real…Neck tats are not the business! Quite frankly most businesses will reject you because of them….
Thanks for the knowledge girl. I see you are still funny, and thoughtful as ever. I notice a little dee dub in your swagger. Makes me feel good to see you dropping the real, like rain drops. Thanks for the laughs.
Stay up, and stay you.
D wright always tryin’ to take credit for the swagger I was born with! LMAO…thanks for the support!! I know you get my sense of humor 😛

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I was hit on in the club the other day by a dude with not one, not two, but three lips tattoo’d on his neck. So I asked the obvious question “why three?” The answer I got…….”for each of my daughters.” WRONG ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I took off running in the opposite direction.
ERICA THAT IS HYSTERICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!
I promise u I always wondered why people got the prison tatto as I call it, lol and u just raised more questions cause it’s truly silly lol and just think why would u let someone work on a sensitive part of your body with needles close to all those veins? lol this is funny as hell but oh so true
LOL thanks for reading!! 🙂
