The real scary thing about those rings is that they can't actually be taken off. Wear them long enough, and the neck muscles atrophy to the point where you're incapable of holding up your own head. Take the rings off and your head flops over like a wet noodle.

It's one of those status things. They don't have to take the rings off because they're wealthy. Fair skin or white cloths meant you didn't do manual manual outside. Nowadays, tan skin means you have enough downtime to either go to the beach or tanning salon.

It must suck to have an itch there and you can't scratch it
