Collar Bone Tattoo Ideas

Need some collar bone tattoo ideas for your next ink job? Here’s a few recommendations – be they good or bad – to get your creative juices flowing when your tattoo artist is out of ideas.

1. A crime you committed: Criminal Anthony Garcia thought it was a great idea to tattoo the exact location and nature of his crime all across his collar bone. Then he wondered why authorities pegged him as the guy who committed a gang murder in front of a liquor store in Pico Rivera. But if you’ve already done time for yours, why not display it all over your neck – what have you got to lose? Or not.
2. Armed forces collar bone tattoo: Guys love displaying their unit’s emblem on their chests, for some reason. Join their ranks with one of your own if you belong to a branch of the armed forces.
3. Cursive lettering: Be it the name of your girlfriend or the name of your pet, it doesn’t really matter. Cursive lettering is always in on the collar bone.
4. Your favorite saying: Show off your tough guy side with a life quotation that’s inspired you. Whether it’s a quote from Rambo or Scarface or The Godfather, there must be some saying you’ve quoted over and over that you wouldn’t mind looking at in the mirror every morning.
5. An animal: Generally animals with a wingspan or long body fit well on the long, lean collar bone. Pick something tough, like an eagle, a panther or a cobra, so you don’t get teased for it. In other words, no kittens or butterflies.
6. A circular object: You always wanted to be Iron Man, right? Okay, so your heart doesn’t need that blue, glowing thing-a-ma-jig on to survive, but that doesn’t mean you can’t replicate it in the form of a collar bone tattoo.
7. Your alter ego: If Eminem has an alter ego, why can’t you? If you envision yourself as Superman or the Grim Reaper, personify it on your collar bone.
8. Bones: If you’re the skull and bones type, get the skeleton of an animal, a part of a human or even a mythical skeletal figure. These never go out of style, especially around Halloween.
9. Celtic designs: If you don’t think images or words are timeless, go for a nondescript design. Thick scrolling and Celtic knots scrawled out across your chest are always considered romantic by the opposite sex.
10. Wreath of leaves: Have you ever envisioned yourself as Caesar Augustus? If so, join the thousands of guys who have already tattooed a half-circle crown of laurels around their collar bones to make their point.
