Pain and Getting a Foot Tattoo
Pain and Getting a Foot Tattoo
There is a certain degree of toughness required for having a tattoo. No, that does not mean a person needs to be a tough guy (or gal) to sport a tattoo. Pretty much any type of person can have a tattoo and pretty every type of person does sport a tattoo these days. No, what the "toughness" in question refers to is the ability to stand the pain of the needle when the tattoo artist is performing his or her job! Of course, the level of pain that one will feel will often be commensurate with the area of the body that is being tattooed. Some spots are going to be more painful than others and that is why you don't often see tattoos inside a person's mouth. Keep in mind, the operative word here is "often." Yes, there are certain people that can stand the pain and have a lip tattoo performed!
On the Notion of a Foot Tattoo Session
One area that is often considered a painful are to get tattooed would be the foot. However, there are quite a number of people who do have a foot tattoo and because of this it would be safe to say that having a foot tattoo is probably not as painful as some people have led others to believe. More than likely it is those people who do not have a foot tattoo that are negative on the subject and this negativity may come from hearsay as opposed to definitive knowledge on the actual subject. As such, it is always best to listen to those who have more intimate knowledge on the subject that is based on first hand experience. Of course, such people may often be ideologues of sorts and may often downplay the pain factor. Because of this, one has to make a judgment call on whether or not undergoing a foot tattoo session should be seriously considered.
To a certain extent, the fact that a foot tattoo involves inking close to the bone of the foot or, worse, the Achilles tendon, would lead one to believe that a person getting such a tattoo would need a higher degree of pain tolerance; but let it be known that while such a tattoo session may prove painful, it is not torture! In other words, it couldn't possibly hurt as much as the rumors would indicate, but if you are unsure of going through with it then it would b best to talk to someone who has if for no other reason than clarification purposes.
