Chris Brown earlier this year, with no neck tattoos

Chris Brown has a love for art, so it comes as no surprise he uses his own body as a canvas. He’s been getting inked up more and more every year and for 2012, he seems to have had a focus on his neck. In June, he added to the left side of his neck and in September, the infamous “Day Of The Dead”-themed sugar skull that many thought was Rihanna’s battered face on the right side of his neck. Yesterday, he added a lion to the front, completing the trifecta. Check it out below, along with a gallery of some of Chris’ other tats!
