There was a time when feet tattoo designs were considered rare but with the passage of time you can find a number of women sporting this tattoo. Tattoos somehow look very attractive on the bare feet of women which can be best noticed on the beach. It makes a woman look very trendy when someone finds a beautiful tattoo peeping out from between the flip flops. Since the foot is a nice little flat place, it can make any small and cute design look good. You may be constrained to ink a small and simple design here but it is the finesse with which it has been crafted that will bring out the beauty of the design. You will mostly find 
flowers, letters and stars being used on the feet as tattoos.
Although the popularity of feet tattoo designs is increasing everyday, yet owing to the difficulty in inking the tattoos at such a vulnerable place, many people abstain from doing it. Many tattoo artists also believe that the feet are unsuitable for tattooing and hate doing it when asked. This is because being a very bony area; the tattooing process can be very painful. It is always better and less painful to have the tattoos done on a fleshy area like the back. Even the upper arm or the shoulder will hurt less.
Even though there are many feet tattoo designs which look beautiful on the skin, yet people don’t prefer to have it there for another reason too. The ink starts spreading after a few years of having the tattoo. This will make the tattoo look blurred and not very appealing. This usually happens when you grow fat or the skin on your body tends to stretch. This can also happen 
when new cells develop and the old cells are shed. In fact, it can take place on any part of the body but the feet are more prone to this defect. You will have to re-ink the tattoo to make it look good.
Another issue which prevents people from having feet tattoo designs is because of the time it takes to heal. It is important to allow a tattoo to be exposed to air and not be covered with any material while it is healing. This means that you cannot wear shoes or socks for many days after you get the tattoo. Therefore, it is always better to get feet tattoo designs during summer when you can stay without the shoes and socks. You can also use flip flops. But remember to shield the tattoo from sunlight. You can apply a good ointment which will help in keeping the area moist and also in healing quickly. A tattoo artist can give you even better ideas.
