I want to get a tattoo (of the little mermaid) on top of my foot but I’m a bit worried about some things,

*lines blurring

*ink fading

*red ink…

How bad’s the risk? Anything else I should worry about?

Is it just a bad idea?

shoes aren’t a problem, i plan to get it in a spot where i can still wear flip flops and skimmers

Foot tattoos tend to blur a bit more than normal tattoos regardless of how gingerly they’re treated. It’s just something that one faces when they decide to get their feet tattooed. Most of the time, if the piece properly in the first place, it’ll age comparable to any other tattoo, save a little more fading. It’s not absolute, but should be expected. Red pigment will cause you no additional problem on the foot than any other part of your anatomy: Either you’re allergic or you’re not.

Both of my feet are tattooed and they’ve aged gracefully.

  1. I have a foot tattoo with lots of red ink, fine lines and a lot of other colour, admittedly it’s only a couple of months old at the moment but everything has healed in fine with no problems at all and I was wearing shoes whenever I went out as well so hopefully you’ll be fine too.

    Good luck anyway!
