Foot Tattoos are quite a common sight in the cities and large towns. Their beginnings are believed to be as old as human civilization itself. They are present more in woman than in men although the men have of late started inking Foot Tattoos with unique designs and more male oriented forms. Women however are the most lucrative of its customers as they, unlike all other forms of tattoos, tend to have preferences for this type of foot Tattoo. This is mainly because unlike other forms of tattooing the Foot Tattoo can be very discreet and they can be made public or hidden from time to time as per the tastes and preferences of the person. In woman, as in most cases, she would perhaps override her anxiety in revealing the Foot Tattoo in a well knit club or social gathering, but be slightly reluctant in doing so before a family functions to ward of adverse comments or criticism. In order to keep the Foot Tattoo well hidden for this purpose she would either wear shoes or socks. Some slippers tend to hide the smaller types of inking and color marks. This also makes the Foot Tattoo ideal and small enough to warrant unwanted suspicion or display feelings that may be quite foreign to ones nature.
Perhaps due to its myriad designs to suite ones individual tastes and preferences and the smaller area it covers, the Foot Tattoos are often the best option for new comers and skin sensitive people. The foot being close to the dust and soiled earth, it offers a degree of greater resistance than other parts of the body. Yet, the Foot Tattoo cannot be easily done by an inexperienced tattoo or a novice. Very few artists volunteer to this job so readily. Besides, being on the foot contact with salt water and chlorinated water can take off much its coloring and earning a bad name for the artist. In spite of this it remains a pure, simple and intricate work of art.
