Any suggestions on how to make the direction straight and the ends meet at the seams so they look natural around the body part?

I'm actually trying this now. Doesn't look like it's going to be easy. Trying to figure out how to approach making a neck tattoo that really needs to span the split in the neck. I can already tell that the right section is slightly larger than the left.
I numbered the areas based on where I believed they joined up.
Ultimately this really calls for an application you can load the figure in, place what you want in that area of the body no matter where it is and it renders out an image based on the UV location.
The image below is where the neck splits.
Use a 3D paint program to get the placement right.
With some creative editing maybe try to avoid the actual seam itself ... those areas tend to tuck or swell depending upon such things as displacement maps.
