Anyone who in the 90s remembers himself a teenager of 10-15 years, will certainly remember with nostalgia and collars, the chokers, which at that time were simply wildly popular. And this despite the fact that they wove them from the usual fishing line. And it seemed to us that they concealed in themselves some kind of magic and riddle. Nobody tried to weave them independently, but you could buy chokers in any tent or store.
How to make a tattoo choker on the neck?
Today it's so easy not to find this decoration, but at last the secret of its weaving is revealed. So you can make a tattoo choker yourself for yourself and for your girlfriends - they will be very grateful to you for such a gift-remembrance.
By the way, very few people know the history of this decoration. And it in due time was the original talisman or a totem at tribes of Indians with which they safely went in fight and did not fear defeat. It's clear that then the chokers were mostly men, not women.
A long time has passed, and the chokers have become fashionable already among the beautiful half of humanity, becoming an indispensable attribute of fashion. And if earlier only secrets were devoted to the secrets of the technology of weaving, today there is nothing secret about this.
Master class on weaving choker tattoos
Since the name of the jewelery speaks for itself ("choker" is a short necklace, "tattoo" is a tattoo), then its appearance should resemble a tattoo on the neck (wrist, finger). Therefore, to create a necklace (bracelet, ring), it is best to choose the black color of the material of manufacture, as it was in our adolescence. Although there is absolutely no restriction, today chokers weave from spandex, fishing lines, even from laces from headphones of very different colors and with the addition of any details - beads, pendants, ribbons and so on. Modern chokers are no less popular than Lariats , air necklaces made of beads or any other non-standard accessories.
What you need for a choker tattoo:
- spandex or fishing line of any thickness;
- beads;
- book or notepad in thick cover;
- clerical clamp;
- lighter.
The scheme of weaving the choker tattoo with our own hands looks like this.
To make it clear, let's take a step-by-step look at the whole process, after which you can easily repeat it yourself:
- So, we start by taking a line (or other material), cutting off a piece of about 2.5 meters, folding it in half and attaching it to the binding of the book (notebook).
- We take the right thread with our fingers and put it under the left. Then return the end of the right thread to the right thread.
- The resulting loop is moved (tightened) closer to the clamp.
- Next step take the left thread and put it under the right, the end is returned under the left thread.
- Tighten, we again get a loop, only it is located on the other side. In the same way, we alternate all the loops, continuing the weaving.
- Approaching the middle of the product, you can add some detail of the decor. In our case it will be red beads. We add, for example, one bead to each eyelet.

Many people are interested in how you can end a tattoo of a choker, attach a clasp to it, or it is better to make it put over your head. In our childhood and youth these "collars" were worn through the head, and there were no fasteners on them.
We suggest to do just such a variant of the choker. To do this, after reaching the required length, cut off excess pieces of fishing line (spandex) and scorch the tips, gluing them together. It is better to keep them with tweezers, so as not to burn yourself. In the formed loop, it is necessary to pass the line from the other end and submerge in the same way.

In this simple way, we will firmly connect the choker. Tinted ends can be painted with varnish in the color of beads or clear varnish. Here and our necklace is ready, and in a pair to it it is possible similarly to weave a bracelet. Now you have a reminder of the most pleasant and carefree years of your youth.
