Today the tattoos are very different than they were ten years ago. The style is different and also the location but theres only thing that remains unchanged: a tattoo is a persons individuality painted on the skin.

The decision about the type and the placement is entirely up to you but you must know that what looks great on one person might very easily look bad on another one. Foot tattoos are very popular these days and you should take that into consideration when youre thinking where you want your tattoo to be placed.

Its a well known fact that foot tattoos are very painful because the skin is very close to the bone. Thats why these tattoos are usually very small and the pain wont last that long.

Also, if you work a professional job or you plan to have one you should know that a foot tattoo can be very easily covered.

During the entire healing period (that usually lasts for up to 3 weeks) its recommended that you wear only open shoes. If you really must wear classic shows it would be best if you wear two pair of light socks.

Many people consider foot tattoos to be very sexy and even the persons that dont like tattoos agree with that.

If youre planning to get a foot tattoo you should know that this will require touch up work after a certain period of time especially because the foot is very much exposed to hard conditions compared to the rest of your body. That causes the ink on the foot tattoo to spread out and youll be wearing a blurry design.

The most popular foot tattoos are flowers, words and star designs but that doesnt mean you cannot choose a special model that represents you.

Before entering the tattoo saloon you should remember that bigger and colorful the tattoo is longer the pain will last.

Anyway, any professional artist will tell you that and thats why if you dont stand the pain but you want a colorful model on your skin then you should definitely consider placing the design on another body part.
