Blackout is the boldest statement in modern tattooing: large areas of skin saturated in solid black, with the design living in the negative space — the bare-skin channels left behind. Done well it is graphic, architectural and unmistakable from across a room.
Designing a neck
The neck is a high-impact, high-visibility placement that wraps a small, curved area. Designs usually follow the throat and sides and connect naturally to chest or shoulder work.
- Pain
- Very sensitive — thin skin over the throat and spine makes the neck one of the sharper placements.
- Scope
- Usually short sessions; often added to connect larger pieces.
- Blackout here
- Blackout rewards big, continuous surfaces — sleeves, full legs, backs and full bodysuits — where the solid black can flow uninterrupted and the negative-space design has room to read.
