Striking foot tattoos are small, simple, and intricate. Body art is a very personal symbol and reflects different aspects of personality.
People opt to get inked on foot as they can easily be hidden and would not cause a problem at workplace, etc. At the same time, they can also easily be shown off with aplomb. The canvas available to ink is way too small, and choose an appropriate design.
If you want to have an elaborate tattoo and are not really worried about the visibility, then you also can have elaborate design that start at the foot and go all the way up to legs. For an elaborate tattoo, you can also combine two different designs.
Designs
Flowers
Floral motifs make for great designs for foot tattoos. This type of body art is more popular among the women than men.
Different flower tattoos have different meanings attached to the flower tattoos. At the same time, there is a lot of scope for customizing floral designs.

Mirrored Designs

Other Patterns
Rosary tattoos, small tribal tattoos, Celtic tattoos, along with spirals, knot-work, etc., are the other designs, which are very popular as foot body art. The latest rage is anklet and toe ring tattoos.
Letters and Words
Like lettering tattoos are very popular on the nape, wrist, etc., they are also very popular on the foot. Combination of letters can be used to give a message. People choose to get the initials of their loved ones, children, etc., inked on their feet.
Letters and words are always a good medium to imprint something which is very important to you. Even in lettering tattoos, there are a number of fonts and styles which you can choose from. You can also opt to have them in mono-color or in different colors.
Foot tattoos are very cute, but they do need a lot of maintenance as well. Since, these are exposed more often than not, you will have to get the touch ups done more frequently, as compared to tattoos on other parts of the body.
