How long should a word / phrase for a tattoo on your foot?

I would like a seven-letter word tattooed on my foot and I was wondering if the word is too short and it would look bad or what? I want to be script-writing, something like the classic way of a foot tattoo in general see, if that makes sense? Thanks:)

The Attraction of Foot Tattoos

The tattoos of today are vastly different in style and placement to those of the old days. These, and the ability to create a truly unique design, are the reasons that foot tattoos are considered one way to express your individuality. Ultimately it is only you that will decide exactly what kind of tattoo you will have and where on your body you will place it.

But remember, what you consider the best design style and placement of tattoo may not be the best for other people. Choosing the right design and location is going to be difficult if this is your first tattoo, with this in mind it might be worth considering a foot tattoo as they are becoming increasingly popular.

Here are some facts about foot tattoos:

Foot tattoos are typically more painful: Because your feet are less fleshy than other parts of your body the skin on the foot is closer to the bone. The closer the skin is to the bone the more painful the tattoo will be. However, because feet are a smaller body part the tattoos tend to be smaller, the time spent in pain should be less as a result.

Foot tattoos are less obvious: Depending on where you work visible tattoos may not be acceptable, and you must always think of whatever future job or career changes may become available. Unfortunately, tattoos are not typically considered professional looking. If you choose a foot tattoo, and eventually get a professional job it will be very easy to conceal.

However, you need to remember that while healing it is recommended that you wear open shoes for the entire time. It usually takes between 2-3 weeks for a foot tattoo to heal but if it is absolutely required that you wear shoes, then it is advisable that you wear 2 pairs of light socks.

A tattoo on your foot is often considered sexy: Of course opinions will vary on what type of tattoo looks good on other people and even people who generally do not like tattoos seem not to mind foot tattoos and even find them attractive.

Foot tattoos may require more frequent touch-up work: Your feet are often exposed to harsher conditions than other parts of your body, after all you spend all day standing on them and after some time the ink on your foot tattoo may spread out and make the tattoo look blurry.

Popular foot tattoo designs: Star designs, words, and flowers. Of course you can work with your tattoo artist to create a unique and interesting design if you want something more than the usual type of foot tattoo images. Just remember the larger and more intricate the design the more painful the tattoo will probably be, and the more it will cost.

Tattoos involve piercing into skin, which almost always involves pain.  No matter how big or how small the tattoo may be or where it is located, you can expect to feel some pain.  The overall amount of pain you experience though, all depends on your tolerance.  If you have a high pain tolerance, you may feel next to nothing during the entire process.

When you get a tattoo, the needles will puncture your skin at very fast rates and variable depths.  The outline of the tattoo is easily the most painful, as the needles will be used to create a black line that will stand out on the tattoo.  This part need to be inserted fairly deeply and carefully to ensure that it’s done correctly.  The shading of the tattoo normally isn’t painful, although it depends on the penetration depth and effect that you desire.

Normally, the pain you feel is a slight burn or scratching feeling.  If the tattoo is going to be on an area where there is less bone and tissue such as the wrist or chest, the pain will be a bit more intense.  Areas like the arms and legs however, normally aren’t that painful.  Areas such as these have more tissue and muscle, which will lessen the amount of pain you feel.

Even though some pain is to be expected, there are ways that you can minimize the pain.  Below are some tips that will help you deal with the pain.
1. Never show up to a get a tattoo on drugs or drunk.  This will thin out your blood, causing you to bleed more.
2. Always choose a tattoo artist that you are comfortable around.  If you have confidence in your artist you can minimize the pain a great deal.
3. Show up at the studio with sheer determination.  You should accept the fact that the tattoo will take time.  Quality work is an art – and should never be rushed.
4. If the pain becomes too much to bear, you should let your tattoo artist know immediately.  He will allow you to take a break, or stop and come back later.  You can always break up your sessions, as tattoos don’t need to be finished immediately.
5. To ease your mind, listen to music.  This way, you can take your mind to a different place and focus on something other than the tattoo.

Often times, the ink that is used during tattoos can lead to infection, simply because the type of ink being used isn’t regulation for tattoo parlors.  Clean equipment is also essential with tattoo parlors; otherwise someone can end up with hepatitis B, C, and various other infections. There are many serious diseases and other sicknesses that can occur if a tattoo parlor doesn’t keep their materials and parlor clean.

In the event of infection or if someone just doesn’t like their tattoo, there are ways to get them removed.  Skin grafting and dermabrasion are good examples of tattoo removal, although the most popular and most common these days is laser removal.  Laser removal is the fastest and by far the most preferred.  With this surgery, the laser being used will zap the metal ions that are found in the pigment of the tattoo, fracturing the ink into very small pieces that the body can easily dispose of.

There are several great things about laser tattoo removal, although there are some bad things as well. In some cases, where infection is involved, the surgery will be a bit different.  First, you’ll need to get the infection out of the area before the tattoo can be removed.  Depending on how bad the infection is, you may end up staying in the hospital for a few days.  For this very reason – you should always make sure that the equipment is clean and sterile before you ever get a tattoo.

Laser tattoo removal can be very painful, depending on the area that you have the tattoo on. Almost all surgeons will use numbing ointment and local anesthetics before they do the removal, so you experience little to no pain.  Even though you may think that you have a high tolerance for pain and can deal with the treatment, you may still want to take any type of numbing that you can get.

Before you decide to get a tattoo removed with laser removal, you should always make sure that you choose a surgeon you can trust.  Lasers can be very dangerous, and there are always side effects and risks involved.  Although laser tattoo removal is certainly an option for getting rid of a tattoo – the best thing to do is think long and hard before you get one to begin with.
