Foot tattoos are a great and unconventional place for a tattoo. Usually people choose the arms or back to showcase a tattoo. The foot can be a great place to show off a tattoo as it provides a flat surface for the tattoo to lie on. The curves of the foot also make it a great place for tattoos that flow or curl.
Tendrils and tribal bands are just some of the tattoos that would look great on a foot. The best part of foot tattoos is that you can have matching tattoos with your significant other, as a tattoo on the foot can be unisex unlike other tattoos such as lower back tattoos.
Disadvantages Of A Foot Tattoo
Before you rush out to get foot tattoos with your partner remember that it’s not all easy sailing. All tattoos are painful but tattooing the feet and hands can be particularly painful. If this is going to be your first tattoo then maybe you should reconsider the placement. This is because the skin on your foot is right over the bones of your foot and it will hurt more.
Another thing that you have to think about when you have a foot tattoo is that there is a possibility of the tattoo blurring with time. This can happen with any tattoo on any part of your body. However foot tattoos are more susceptible to this and you might have to get it re-inked to keep it looking nice.
The healing process for foot tattoos is also longer and you will have to take extra precautions to make sure that your tattoo heals properly. As with all tattoos you should keep it out of the sun and apply sunscreen when you do have to go out in the sun. You should also try to avoid wearing footwear and clothes that will keep touching the tattoo.
This means flip-flops, even possibly topless flip-flops if the flip-flop rubs against the tattoo. Getting foot tattoos in the winter is probably not a good idea on this point. Keep your feet clean with regular footbaths in warm water and mild soap. Remember not to rub your tattoo and to only pat it dry.
