On the other hand, if it's a 40-year-old guy with a faded tattoo on his neck, he probably has changed quite a bit, and I wouldn't look at it the same way. Although it wouldn't be a "plus". Or maybe it would -- "geez, this guy has gone through his whole adult life with that thing on his neck, and he's just as qualified as the other guy. He must be good".
Fair enough. But everyone isn't as open-minded as you on the subject, and there is the problem. We know for a fact that a tattooed neck is going to be a problem for a lot of people. Whether or not that is fair is another debate (I think) but it is just the way it is. Still going ahead with it seems crazy to me.
And I think it looks bad. Again -- it's like they are trying to say "look how tough I am, I have a scorpion on my neck and I want everyone to see it".
If a scorpion is somehow symbolic or important to you, get a tattoo of it on your arm and don't screw up your life.

Yeah I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, I clearly have made the decision not to get them on my neck and hands for a reason.
Definitely a problem for a lot of people, first impressions are important. I usually see a big neck tattoo, and I don't necessarily think, man that guys an idiot, but I do think, wow he/she may not have really thought that one through.
It doesn't really matter there are idiots from all walks of life.
