Do you want to have a small, easy-to-wear tattoo or a larger design ? Then the ankle tattoo is a possibility that you might like. Very feminine, with a sensual and sexy side, the ankle tattoo hides as easily as it can reveal itself to highlight this area of the body. It can be subtle, when placed inside the ankle and very thin, or more imposing when it surrounds the ankle or hugs the front of the foot. Ultra-popular among the stars, it is one of the most popular and requested tattoos in the salon. Rihanna, Shy’m, Nicole Richie or even Nicky Hilton, they all fall for a tattoo on the ankle and do not hesitate to reveal it on the red carpets.
What designs to choose for a tattoo on the ankle?
On the pattern side, you are spoiled for choice for your tattoo. Bracelet style all around the ankle, fresco of birds, farandole of flowers, simple little heart, delicate feather, small butterfly, fine arrow, tribal pattern or message, it’s up to you to see the symbolism you want to give to this tattoo . You can also have fun with colors or prefer black and gray and, why not, share it with your other half.
Where to place your tattoo on the ankle?
The ankle tattoo can completely encircle the ankle and take the form of a chain, a small bracelet or a simple clean line. It can also descend on the side or the top of the foot when it is, for example, a cloud of stars or a rosary. If you are a fan of ultra-low-key ankle tattoos, do not hesitate to place it just below the ankle joint. Conversely, if you want it to be more visible, even when wearing sneakers or ankle boots, place it a little higher.
