it's the shadow, it makes it look like it's bulging.

It almost looks like he had a tumor tattooed...

...the shadow from what? There's no shadow under the chin, so light isn't just from above. We see a bright highlight/glare down the left side of the tattooed area. To the left of the bottom of what appears to be a bulge it's slightly shaded, then the bulge gets bright again, then shadow to the right. It sure looks like it's actually bulging to me.

The shadow from the bigass bulge on his neck obviously

He's sitting on a couch. The shadow from the lamp on the end table next to the couch, which would be below his shoulder. That is why the front part of his neck is shadowed, because he's leaning away from the camera to give it a good view of his neck, meaning he's leaning away from the light source.

I'm having a hard time seeing what you're seeing. Even the curve of the shadow at the bottom makes it look bulged.

I agree, its either massively blown up / inflamed from being recently tattooed... or this dude has a goiter?

I don't know, but this dude's neck is not anatomically normal.

Man. I could have used that excuse 30 years ago during my presentation in English class.
