Factors to Consider When Getting an Ankle Tattoo
- The Pain Factor: Getting a tattoo done so close to the bone is bound to be painful; you may want to consider your pain tolerance level. If your pain tolerance is low, then you may want to reconsider getting an ankle tattoo. Additionally, due to the ankle being at the end of an extremity, you can expect to deal with more bleeding while getting a tattoo on your ankle.
- Placement of the Ankle Tattoo: The exact placement of your ankle tattoo is a significant factor. The higher up your ankle tattoo is located, the longer that it will remain looking good. This is because of the way in which the skin wrinkles as you get older; the lower your tattoo is the more wrinkling that you can expect to occur over time.
- Seasonal & Job Constraints: It is best to get your ankles tattooed in summer. This is simply because you need to keep clothing away from it till it dries and heals completely. The heavier clothing of winter can chafe against a fresh tattoo and can lead to an infection. Additionally, if your job requires you to spend a great deal of time standing on your feet or walking, then you may wish to schedule your tattoo at a time when you have a few days off work to allow for a longer healing period.
