The side of the neck suits tall designs, such as script, feathers or a small bird. The throat is a broad center area that works for symmetrical pieces such as a rose or spread wings.
A neck tattoo is hard to hide with everyday clothes, so think about your work and your plans. Start lower, near the collar, if you are unsure, and your artist can always extend it upward later.

Questions
Do neck tattoos hurt?
Many people find the throat and the area near the spine quite sensitive, and the side of the neck a little easier. It differs from person to person.
Can I hide a neck tattoo?
A collared shirt can hide low pieces. Side neck and throat tattoos usually show. Try the placement on a photo first.
