#7: Script Behind The Ear Neck Tattoos

Known as the "High Neck" in most tattoo shops, behind the ear is a perfect place for a small script tattoo. The behind the ear tattoo is not very painful despite it's sensitive looking location, and unlike most neck tattoos, it is very easy to hide.

#6: Birds Going Up Side Of Neck Tattoos

A little birdie told me that you have an awesome neck tattoo idea ... And it was right! Bird neck tattoos look great, actually almost any winged animal (real or not) makes a great neck tattoo. The tattoo below is extra cool because of how the three birds fly up follow the flow of the neck. Plus, it's like 3 tattoos in one, which is a bonus.
