Small and cute tattoo designs for your ankle
Aside from the dramatic effect it creates on a woman’s leg, there are other great advantages that come with ankle tattoo. For one, this is in an area that can host a small tat design for those looking to get tattooed the first time or simply for those who prefer not to have big bold ink. Another thing that makes this tat popular is the fact that it can easily be flaunted when desired and at the same time can readily be hidden when needed, for example for professional reasons, just with the simple change of clothing or by wearing socks or stockings. And since design is usually on a smaller scale, it can be inexpensive and fast to get done. Also, the sun does not hit this area that much so it does not require extra maintenance making it an even more favorable choice.
The most popular style is the ankle bracelet tattoo which is inked in a circular manner around the ankle similar to the wristband tattoos. Florals, vines, tribal lines and celtic art are the most common designs for this type of anklet tattoo. Religious tattoos like cross and rosary, particularly the rosary beads are also popular ankle tat similar to the one being sported by Nicole Richie, a famous celebrity. Stars, dolphin and heart are the cute and small tattoo images usually preferred inked on the ankle while flowers, butterflies and fairies are the favorite ones for the cute and girly type of designs.
The only disadvantage that comes with ankle tattoos is the fact that pain will be on a higher scale since this is in a bony area and does not have a lot of flesh to cushion the skin during the tattooing process. However, those who had it done said that the pain is something bearable, similar to a sunburn or being repeatedly snap by a rubber band, it will eventually go away. Knowing the fact that you will be rewarded with a superb ankle tattoos that you will love is reason enough to make it worthwhile in the end. (foot ankle tattoo by Andy Ringo and AJ McMillen)
