Don't have one there personally, but my friend does, she said that her lower back one hurt ten times worse than the one on her foot... if that helps at all?  |

Hi there,
If you're thinking of getting a tattoo on your foot, I'm the girl to talk to I have tattoos on the tops of both of my feet. I absolutely love them, but there are definitely some things you should know before jumping in with both feet (pardon the pun..) I have several tattoos on various parts of my body, but by far, the foot was one of the most painful spots to be worked on. I have a fairly extensive piece on my left foot and by the end of the session, I was ready to call it quits. The result was beautiful though, so I'm glad I stuck it out!
Also, because of it's tricky location, wearing shoes is NOT something I would suggest right away.. My first foot tattoo had a very short and easy healing time- my second however seems to be taking longer. Because of the amount of detail work, my foot swelled up twice its size by day two so I wasnt able to fit into any shoes, plus it was really really sore and made walking rather difficult for the first 48-72 hours.
Wearing shoes and socks also creates a potential environment for bacteria to build up and cause infection, so the cleaning of the piece is important. Flipflops or barefoot are optimum- also, sporting an icepack at night greatly helps swelling.
Though it's a real pain to take care of it, feet tattoos can be really beautiful and exotic. I just wouldn't suggest it for a first timer..!

Once again, it ALL depends on the person!!! 
Our Head piercer has a beautiful piece on the top of her foot & she said it didn't hurt that bad at all.... She got it in the early afternoon & worked all day & it barely even swelled.
SO, once again, it depends on the person.
