Tattoos Feet
Tattoo  artists, at least the good ones, are true artists, and they don’t like  to take on work which won’t let them do their best. One of the things  you may not know about your feet is that they have reflex points, just  like the one in your knee which the doctor hits with the little hammer  to see if your nerves are still talking to your brain.
In spite of  your best efforts to keep still while getting a foot tattoo, your foot  may engage in some twitching and jerking, and the tattoo artist may have  difficulty controlling the needle when it does. If the tattoo artist is  good enough, he or she may be able to cover up any resulting squiggles,  but that’s a chance you’ll have to take.
Another thing: You have a  lot of nerve endings and capillaries in you feet, and not much  cushioning between the skin and bones. Most people who have had both  foot and body tattoos done report that the foot tattoos are far and away  the more painful; and those nerve endings can also make some people  very ticklish. If your feet are ticklish, pass on trying to have a foot  tattoo done; and all those capillaries are so close to the skin’s  surface that foot tattoos tend to bleed more profusely than body  tattoos.
But if you can find a willing artist, and after assessing  all the potential negatives decide go ahead and get a foot tattoo, using  a pre-inking anesthetic ointment to numb your foot is a good idea.
You  can still expect to have swelling and soreness for a few days  afterwards. If your work requires you to be on your feet for any length  of time, consider holding off on the tattoo until your vacation.
The  Beautiful: Because there just aren’t a lot of souls brave enough to face  having their feet tattooed, your tattoo is sure to get extra attention.  And you’ll have some stunningly beautiful foot tattoo designs, both  simple and highly stylized, to choose from.
The foot provides a small  but nearly flat canvas on which the artist can work and the results,  like garlands of flowers or stars, or tarantulas or frogs poised to  leap, can be amazingly three dimensional.
