Foot tattoos are a very common place to tattoo ones self. There are many different designs that can be tattooed on the foot, and while the foot may be slightly more painful than other areas of the body, it is still relatively favorable for most people. Feet are more painful because you are tattooing very close to the bone, without much padding between the needle and the bone. Feet can be a great place for a tattoo. By themselves, feet can be very eye catching and beautiful. A tattoo only adds to this distinction. They are a popular location for tattoos for women, but some men have been known to tattoo their feet. This is probably because women are the most likely to wear flip flops or sandals that expose their feet. Another reason for this is that the foot is often a place that smaller, cute designs are placed and usually men tend to shy away from small colorfully designed tattoos. The foot has become a popular place for tattoos, even more so in recent years. At one point, the foot was considered a strange or exotic place to tattoo yourself.
Flower Foot Tattoos
Flowers are the design that is most commonly tattooed on the foot. sometimes they feature the full stems with leaves, and sometimes it is only the top portion of the flower. They are usually small in design, and can be easily placed at multiple locations on the foot. They can also be very colorful and beautiful, and since women are most likely to tattoo something on their foot it makes it a very popular choice.
Phrase Foot Tattoos
Another common tattoo that is placed on the foot is a phrase, or word tattoo. This can be a great place to put ‘reminder’ tattoos, or phrases that you never want to forget. Because you are always going to be looking at your feet for the rest of your life, placing someone on your foot that you would like to see on a daily basis is a great idea. This can be the name of a loved one, the name of your favorite song, or a reminder of the way that you would like to live your life. Remember that anything you place on your foot will be visible when you aren’t wearing socks or shoes so if it is something that you would like to keep relatively private, perhaps the foot is not the best location for the tattoo.
Star Foot TattoosStars are also commonly tattooed on the foot. This is because stars are relatively simple in design, and it is easy to add more stars down the road if you would like to have a constellation or other astrological symbol on your foot. The sun and moon are also commonly tattooed on feet, and sometimes one will be placed on each foot.
Sometimes, foot tattoo designs will need to be touched up or re-inked. The top of the foot is the ideal place for a tattoo if you would like it to hold its color for as long as possible.
