    i would think it will be okay as long as they aren't going near the ankle bone. you will feel some burning/scratching but it won't be terrible. a small tattoo should only take less than an hour. take some Advil about 30 minutes beforehand. you can do it.

    I heard you shouldn't take pain killers beforehand because they thin your blood and that's not good when you are getting a tattoo. It is a sensitive place but it just depends on the person. It's something that you're going to have for the rest of your life so it'll be worth the pain, don't worry! My pain threshold is very very low, and I got a tattoo that didn't hurt at all I was very surprised, so don't worry youll be fine! Good Luck!!

    In my culture there is a proverb that says if you want beauty dont whine or cry when getting it...

    If u really want the tatto - which i might add will look great right there- then go for it just find some ancient technique to block the pain eg deep meditation etc....You go gal

    Tattoos are the most painful over boney parts of the body. Start with a soft part of the body where there is some muscle or fat for padding.

    Hmm . .Is it possable to take morphine before you get it? Umm . .I can't say I really have any suggestions. Just do the norm, think about something else. Bring an iPod or Book if you can to concentrate on, and make sure the foot is strapped down.

    If you're still not comfortable, don't get it.

    nonsense!

    it was nothing - not even feel a bite!

    if u still scare, tylenol of course! and a can of beer, will help you numb ur feeling

    Source(s): i tooked half can of beer only, and it's only heineken-

    Don't get a tatoo there. Just pinch yourself there and you'll realize why nobody else gets one there.
