I don't dislike the image, I just don't like tattoos on the neck.

Really? I quite like it, designed by my own fair hand. That was when it was fresh, looks less stark now.

Now a few of my others, I DO regret and its on my todo list to get them covered up but i'm not posting pics of those!

I'll post my favourite one if any of you can stomach a hairy chest.

ZARDOZ, I have seen your entry, anyone else?

I've got several due to a misspent youth. Got my 1st at 15. This is one a got a few years back. Low enough to only just peek cheekily above a work shirt.

It hurt that one! Ones on the arms and shoulders dont hurt, but back of the neck, ouch.

I see quite a lot of the Olympians have rings tattoos. I think they are pretty tasteful (the monochrome versions especially) and quite justifiable. But then a tattoo on an immaculately sculptured 6' 5" swimmer is always going to look better than on a fat hairy builder

When you say on average, do you mean a true global average, or an average of all UK citizens, or what? And how are you quantifying "do as well"... annual earnings or something less objective?

But still a million miles away from being unsuccessful

No that's what you are saying. I would expect (wild generalisation time) the upper classes are still into them, although they don't need to shout about it.

What's a visible tattoo if your job invloves dressing formally? Not many people will have a tattoo on their face or hands.
