Some people, however, choose big and bold designs in bright colors. Some people have even decided to have their design originate behind the ear and continue all the way down their neck and into their shoulder area. This type of bold design is probably best kept for those who have already had other tattoos and know that they are comfortable with body art. An example of this type of design might be a flowering vine that scrolls down the neck or a cascade of stars.
