In these times, the designs for tattoos are various and the placement can be anywhere. This is why tattoos are one of the best methods to express distinctiveness. You are the one to decide precisely what the design will be, the tattoo artist that will do it and the place to put it. Consequently, the best design and placement may not always please others who will see it. Do not be disheartened if you cannot decide easily on where to place the ink. However, you can consider having a foot tattoo which is also a very popular type of tattoo.

Foot tattoo information:

Foot tattoos are usually more painful. The skin of the foot is near the bone. The nearness of the skin to the bone is what makes it painful when you place a tattoo on it. However, for the reason that foot tattoos are likely to be smaller, you will not have to suffer the pain compared with larger tattoos.

It is easy to conceal a foot tattoo. This skin art is not usually acknowledged as professional looking. But if you will have a foot tattoo, you can easily hide it if you have a professional job.

However, you must be informed that when you decide to have a foot tattoo, and you are in the recovery period, it will be easier to heal the wound if you will wear open shoes. It will take 2 – 3 weeks for the foot tattoo to completely heal. It is required for the person to wear shoes and 2 pair of thin socks.

People find foot tattoos sexy. Opinions differ on the kind of tattoos seen on other individuals. Even others who do are not fond of tattoos may consider foot tattoos to be sexy.

Foot tattoos often need to be touched up compared with other tattoos placed in other parts of the body. This is because your foot tattoo is experiencing more friction than with any other kind of tattoos. After getting the tattoo, the ink will soon spread out which will make the ink appear blurry.

Since the tattoo is placed on the foot, it will be exposed to sweat and other wet elements. This will help it to fade out in time. The most typical kind of foot tattoos are the following:

• Star designs
• Words
• Flowers
• Butterfly

Although, you can still ask your tattoo artist to put something which is more interesting and unique. As a reminder, when you choose a foot tattoo, it is better to have it in a smaller size. You can still go with the larger ones, however, be ready to endure more pain since the bigger and more complicated the design of your foot tattoo, the more painful and costly the tattoo will get.

Ankle tattoos can be some of the most sexy. They have to be kept small to fit and are discrete so are very suitable for girls who would like a tattoo but don’t want one that is constantly on view.

So what designs can be put on the foot or ankle? If you want to keep them looking sexy then the skull and crossbones are definitely out. Here are a few of the most popular subject to chose.

Butterflies Always a favorite. A small colored butterfly is one of the most sexy designs you can have.

Small flowers These can be really small and yet very interesting to look at. Of course you can combine them with a butterfly tattoo to make it even more special.

Chinese Symbol Please make sure you know what they mean. You don’t want to have a tattoo of something really stupid like “Fire Exit” on you ankle. Someone is sure to translate it for you in the future.

Koi Fish There are some really good koi fish tattoo designs available now. I especially like the variations of the yin and yang shape.

Tribal Chain It is interesting to have a pattern that loops right round the ankle. There are lot of very different abstract designs to chose from and most people just do them in black.

Ankle or foot tattoos are not the same as tattoos on the arm. The can be easily hidden when you don’t want them on view but when you show them, they are always sexy.

Some people claim that they hurt a little more when having them since the skin is thin and close to the bone so be prepared for a little discomfort when having yours.
