This is a great reply.
FWIW, I'm 40+ and am tattooed from the collar of my T-shirt to the tops of my feet with very little open space left. Yet my hands and neck are not tattooed at all. I don't expect anyone to understand why I'm so heavily tattooed, and I'll tell you right now that you'll meet lots of people who won't understand why you tattooed your neck.
I'm not saying that you have it removed, but in the event that you want to open up your career options some day, you'll be pleased to know that laser removal has come a long way in recent years.

Nice to meet everyone. I've just stepped foot into the tattoo world. I got my first tattoo yesterday at Vagrant Souls in Brooklyn. Awesome, awesome place.

At the moment, I am using a thin layer of Aquaphor after rinsing with soap. I'm assuming I should switch to lotion after a few days?
Also I realize this might not have been the best place for a first tattoo but it was a spur of the moment type thing, lol. YOLO
Also, those are chinese characters which translates to "Love Parents"
Anyway, nice to meet everyone!
