Popular Foot Tattoo Designs
Once you’ve chosen to get a tattoo on your foot, there are a few things to keep in mind: first, tattoos on the foot tend to be quite painful to have done, due to the thinness of the foot skin. Also, foot tattoos tend to fade faster, as they are either constantly covered or exposed to sun (which will fade any tattoo). Finally, finding a tattoo artist who actually does foot tattoos may take a while, as the above mentioned issues come into play for some tattoo artists. However, once you’ve taken all these things into consideration and chosen the perfect tattoo professional, it is time to go looking for that perfect foot tattoo.
• Obviously, tattoos on women’s feet will probably be a bit different than the ones done for men. Women tend toward the more “feminine” designs, while men are just the opposite.
• Some of the more popular foot tattoo designs for women include flowers—especially when they are twined together and go a bit of a way up the ankle. Stars are also a common choice; the advantage of this choice is that it can be quite small and located toward the back of the foot, like a little secret. Butterflies are also quite popular and can be inked in a vast array of colors. Finally, tribal designs or self-created designs are also common choices; these allow the tattoo owner to ascribe whatever meaning they choose to their new tattoo.
• As for men, there is a greater tendency to more “dark” themes: skulls and crossbones, for example. Another common male foot tattoo choice is a tribal design that may symbolize whatever he chooses or may indicate his membership in a group or organization. Cars and motorcycles are also popular choices, perhaps representing the man’s dream machine.
The choice of foot tattoos is as endless as the people who want them. Choosing the perfect foot tattoo is not something that should be done in a moment’s notice, however; keep in mind you will be sporting your ink permanently, so ensure that it is something you will want in the long haul.
