People who want some type of permanent body art are increasingly opting for tattoos on their feet, especially if they want it to be inconspicuous at work or in other settings. The toes, top of the foot, and sides of the foot up to the ankle are all popular places for foot tattoos. Because of the limited amount of skin area, foot tattoos tend to be small and the designs minimally intricate, but there are still a wide variety of artistic designs that work.
Toe rings, ankle bands, and small designs that fit well on the center top of the foot are all popular foot tattoos. Consult a professional tattoo artist when choosing designs for foot tattoos. Many professionals will advise their clients to avoid choosing thin, delicately outlined designs for their feet because they are more likely to spread and blur over time. A professional can assist you in selecting a design that will look good now and in the future.
Finding artists who specialize in foot tattoos may be more difficult than finding artists who specialize in other body parts. Because of the increased likelihood of spreading, blurring, and fading from rub, some artists will not do foot tattoos. Most foot tattoo artists will warn you about potential complications, and the artwork itself may not be guaranteed. However, just because you may need to speak with several artists before deciding on a tattoo artist for your foot does not mean you should settle for someone who isn’t qualified. The work will be done a large number of professionals.
Before getting a foot tattoo, there are a few things to think about. One of them is the healing process. For proper healing after a tattoo, the area should be kept clean and uncovered for up to a week. Foot tattoos are no exception, and many people would find it difficult to go without shoes for that long. You might want to wait for a vacation unless you can go to work or school in flip-flops or another type of shoe that leaves the area exposed and unaffected.
Keep in mind that foot tattoos can be more painful than tattoos on other parts of the body, and they also produce more blood than fattier, more muscular body parts. After getting a foot tattoo, take care to keep the area clean during the healing process. Because germs are more prevalent on the feet and hands than on most other parts of the body, be aware of your healing tattoo and follow all after-care instructions provided your artist.
