I have a series of flowers tattoed on the top of my right foot that is in a "flip-flop thong" shape, but it covers the majority of the top of my foot. I also have 2 kids, a tongue piercing, another smaller tat on my right shoulder, and a vertical clit hood piercing...I used to have my nipples pierced as well. THE TOP OF THE FOOT TAT HURT THE WORST OF ALL OF THESE THINGS, except childbirth, however it didn't last very long, and I would definitely do it again in a heartbeat!!! I have had a ton of compliments on it, infact in the summer when I am wearing sandals everywhere, hardly a day goes by that someone doesn't stop me and admire it! One important fact about foot tattoos is that you can't wear shoes or socks or any other foot covering over the new tat until it's completely healed (it will fade)! I heal really fast, and it took my foot about 5 weeks to heal. It also swelled up for a couple of days, however it didn't hurt bad after he was finished with the needlework. You also need to consider that a new tattoo shouldn't be submurged in water until it is healed, or the ink can fade. I would also consider that you will need pretty regular touch-ups, as well, as this area is constantly rubbed by shoes (unless you wear open-top shoes and no socks year round). I haven't needed a touch up yet, but I'm figuring about every 5 years or so (it's been a year). OK, I know I'm answering more than you asked, but I get really pumped up about my tattoo, and I did a TON of research on foot tattoos before I got mine, and I just like to pass the info along to anyone who it may help to decide to take the plunge!! Overall, the positive definitely outweighs the negative in my opinion!!
it hurts like hel!, but u know the saying beauty is pain
I have 4 on my feet & the side of the foot hurt more than the top of the foot. But yes, they hurt there.
I have 7 tattoo's and the one i got on the top of my foot hurt the worst. I got stars there and after he finished the outline on the first one I wanted to stop.
I just had mine done at first it was uncomfortable then as he worked they kinda went numb, it was the next few days after that really hurt....but i gave birth to 3 kids with no painkillers i have a high tolerance for pain.
I've done a lot of those..............everyone is different.
No one can tell you if it's gonna hurt or not................except you.
just do it........you'll get over it and you'll love it
that is a pretty painful spot, but its not a bad as child birth!
Fluther: How small can you get a tattoo and how badly does ::
Tattoos hurt like hell. I've only had one that didn't hurt, On a fleshy part of your body, it feels like someone is drawing just a little too hard on you with a pen. . on the top of my foot recently and I'd say that hurt pretty bad. aid of a black to keep them sharp, but alot of color will just get soft,

most tattoo artists say its the most painful. however, my boyfriend (a tat artist/piercer) says the collarbone is the most painful of all.
No it hurts more towards your toes.
