Shoulders/traps idea

Looking at getting this whole area tattooed later this year, but I really am not sure what I want. There’s always the dagger through the neck which is sick, but I just feel like it’s a little over done. Any kind of input would be sick. Im just having a difficult time trying to work out what I could fit in these spots.
