Trend Spotting: Neck tattoos.

NY Times reports that neck tattoos are in! I'm getting a skull on my neck! Woooo!!

In a mysterious and inexorable process that seems to transform all that is low culture into something high, permanent ink markings began creeping toward the traditional no-go zones for all kinds of people, past collar and cuffs, those twin lines of clothed demarcation that even now some tattoo artists are reluctant to cross.

Not entirely surprisingly, facial piercing followed suit.

Suddenly it is not just retro punks and hard-core rappers who look as if they’ve tossed over any intention of ever working a straight job.

Anyway, after the author stops being a dick, he talks about neck tattoos.
