Tattoos have always been a sign of showing your individuality; this is no less true with the latest fashion for foot tattoos. Already a most sensual part of the body; decorating your feet with beautiful images and romantic designs can add to the appeal.
If you are considering having a foot tattoo, it is important to carefully decide which image you want to use. It is always best to go into the parlor with a design in mind, rather than leaf through the well-thumbed books they will hand you.
Of course, this is not to say that you can't use tried and tested images as a base for your design. Some which work particularly well are vines, flowers and other organic images. Many of course elect to go for a loved one's name; just be sure that loved one will be there as long as your tattoo!
Once you have decided which design you are going for, you will also need to decide where on your foot you will have the tattoo.
There are no limits regards where foot tattoos can be placed of course, but some areas and designs work better together than others. Elegant designs can also accentuate the length of your foot or the slimness of your ankle too; whilst others can have the opposite effect.
It will also be important to get the coloring right. Something too heavy may spoil the finer details of the image; something too light may fade quickly. Have a discussion with your artist to see what the best options are.
Many people will insist that having a tattoo done is not painful. This of course is not true. And this is most certainly not true of foot tattoos; there is not a lot between skin and bone on the foot; it will be painful and it will swell for some time afterwards.
Many people often look to getting a foot tattoo done shortly before heading off on vacation. If this is the case, be sure to have it done at least 4 - 6 weeks before you depart, to allow time for it to heal well. A scabbed tattoo is not attractive.
Equally important is keeping the area well protected when you are outside. Certainly off limits are tanning beds and long periods in direct sunlight. If you are planning a vacation, look to have the tattoo at least four weeks before jetting off to the sun!
Evocative and stunning; foot tattoos will make your feet look even more sensual and appealing. However, do bear in mind that you may well have to explain exactly what it represents... Perhaps do not go for anything too personal!
