Today the tattoos are very different than they were ten years ago. The style is different and also the location but there's only thing that remains unchanged: a tattoo is a person's 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 you're thinking where you want your tattoo to be placed.

It's a well known fact that they are very painful because the skin is very close to the bone. That's why these tattoos are usually very small and the pain won't 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) it's 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 don't like tattoos agree with that.

If you're 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 you'll be wearing a blurry design.

The most popular foot tattoos are flowers, words and star designs but that doesn't 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 that's why if you don't stand the pain but you want a colorful model on your skin then you should definitely consider placing the design on another body part.
