Foot Tattoo

Have you ever wondered why some people have every inch of his arms and legs tattooed in the most spectacular designs and colors, and their tattoos do not come to his hands and feet with a speed that is just as impressive?

The simple truth is that both hand and foot tattoos are rarely requested and make even more rare. Part of the reason for their rarity is that new tattoo should be clean, dry and free of irritation while they heal completely, which can take two to three weeks.

It allows hands but the feet are the tattoos are still in the race. That is, if you can find a way to avoid irritation with shoes and socks, while they are healing, and at the same time keeping them clean.

Well, you may have trouble getting and caring for a foot tattoo. But why so many tattoo artists so difficult to agree to do so?

Tattoos in the first place, the foot does not like to stay where you position, and inks tend to "migrate", meaning your clearly defined new tattoo can become blurred and faded. Tattoo artists are almost always willing to do free touch-up tattoos on other parts of the body, but the likelihood of foot tattoos needing retouching is so high that artists do not tattoo or feet, not provide touch-ups at all, or will charge for retouching.

Tattoo artists, at least the good ones are true artists, and they do not like to take a job that will not let them do their best. One of the things you might not know about is that your feet have reflex points, like that of the doctor's knee hit with the hammer to see if the nerves are still talking to his brain.

Despite their best efforts to keep still while a tattoo of the foot, the foot can participate in some spasms and jerks, and the tattoo artist can have difficulty controlling the needle when it does. If the tattoo artist is good enough, he or she may be able to cover any resulting squiggles, but that's a possibility that you have to take.

Another thing: You have a lot of nerve endings and capillaries in the feet, and not much cushioning between the skin and bones. Most people who have had both feet and body tattoos report makes foot tattoos are by far the most painful, and nerve endings can also make some very delicate. If your feet are ticklish, pass to try to have a foot tattoo done, and all the capillaries are so close to the surface of the skin that foot tattoos tend to bleed more profusely than body tattoos.

But if you can find an artist willing, and decide after evaluating all the potential negatives go ahead and get a tattoo on foot, with a pre-inking anesthetic ointment to numb the foot is a good idea. You can still expect to have swelling and pain for a few days later. If your job requires you to be standing for a long time, consider waiting until the tattoo of your vacation.

The Beautiful: Because there is simply not a lot of souls brave enough to face the feet have tattoos, the tattoo is sure to get special attention. And you have some beautiful foot tattoo designs, both simple and highly stylized, to choose. The foot has a small canvas, but almost flat in which the artist can work and results, like garlands of flowers or stars, or tarantulas or frogs to jump, can be incredibly in three dimensions.
