FOOT TATTOO IDEAS

To some, foot tattoos are the ultimate way to express themselves, while to others, they're nothing but pain and misery. Why the difference in opinion? Before you get your feet tattooed, learn what designs work well on the feet and find out about potential problems you should consider.

Foot tattoos can be as varied as their owners, and just as beautiful. Popular choices include flowers, scrolls and tribal designs. It isn't uncommon to find a foot tattoo that begins on the side or bottom of the foot and continues to the top.

Choose a design that flows with the contours of your feet and won't be pulled out of place by flexing, tendons or toes. Several different tattoos designs work particularly well on the feet.

Matching Tattoos

You have two feet, so why not get two tattoos? You can stretch a tattoo across both feet, breaking it into sections that piece back together when you stand with your feet together, or just get two small tattoos that match. This may be words, symbols or images that work well in pairs, like two flowers or two Zodiac symbols.

Choosing your design is just the first step in getting a foot tattoo. The feet have a different set of guidelines than other areas of the body do; make sure you can follow them before you get inked.

Depending on the size and placement of the tattoo, healing can range from two to five days. Some tattoo artists recommend not wearing shoes and socks for several days afterwards, while others don't think it's a problem. Regardless, your foot will be sore and uncomfortable while it is healing. If you can't afford to be off your feet for a few days, this may not be a good option for you.
