Foot Tattoos

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 Tattoos

Stars 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.

Tattoosday Goes to Hawaii: A Floral Sneak Peak @ O'Hare, Courtesy of Jennifer

When I first booked my trip to Honolulu and saw I had a brief layover in Chicago, I challenged myself to find at least one cool tattoo at the airport.

Lucky for me, I found Jennifer from Portland, Maine, sporting this lovely hibiscus foot tattoo:


The hibiscus being the state flower of Hawai'i, I saw this as a good omen.

Jennifer explained that she based the design for this tattoo on a photo in a magazine.

Why the foot? She had one tattoo on her back and "wanted one she could see".

This floral piece was inked in about two and a half hours at Pins and Needles Tattoo at home in Portland. Work from Pins and Needles has appeared previously on Tattoosday here.

Thanks to Jennifer for humoring this traveling inkspotter and sharing her hibiscus with us here on Tattoosday!

A Little Sunshine on a Cloudy Day

I met Cristina on the R train several weeks back.

The weather was just beginning to turn cooler, and I noticed that summer had ended quickly, with no gradual diminishing of tattoo sightings, but a sudden disappearance, like shutting the light switch off in a large, bright room at midnight.

Cristina had this small, unusual tattoo on her foot:


Despite being small, I was curious to learn about this design.

Cristina explained that her husband travels a lot and that, on a whim, they each got sun tattoos while in Dallas. The designs are slightly different.


She told me her husband thought the sun tattoos were perfect for them because, he said, when they're together, he's walking on sunshine.

You can look at that as incredibly corny, incredibly romantic, or a mixture of the two. Cristina acknowledged that when she looks at her tattoo, it reminds her of what her husband said, about walking on sunshine, and that makes her laugh, which makes her happy, which can be a solace when her husband is traveling.

All from a little tattoo!

Thanks to Cristina for sharing her tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

The Tattooed Poets Project: Rachel Mallino's Vine Entwines

Today's tattoo is from Rachel Mallino:

Rachel explains this tattoo:

"This piece was done in the summer of 2001, on a vacation to New York City. A friend and I were walking the Village together and I decided to stop at a random tattoo parlor- unfortunately, the name of the parlor escapes me. I had been playing around with the idea of getting a tattoo on my foot for several reasons, one of them being that the foot was not a popular place to have a tattoo at the time. I wanted something like a vine that symbolized my very unhealthy relationship with my mother, a subject I also write a lot about. I didn’t have anything sketched out, so I approached one of the artists and told her what I wanted. She was able to find a ready-made outline of a vine that looked similar to what I had imagined. I told her to use the outline but directed her in which direction and how I wanted the tat to wrap around my middle toe, up the foot and around my ankle. For the record: it was really painful. Artistically, I don’t think the tattoo is spectacular. Conceptually, I’m pretty pleased. People ask me all the time what it means, and I never tell them. In fact, I haven’t really told you, either."

Thanks to Rachel for sending us this tattoo.
