i have a tattoo i want to get which would completely cover the bottom of both feet
that wouldnt be a problem would it? even though the bottoms of feet are very callused and shed skin really fast.
Hey,
I’m definitley not an expert however I have read that tattoo’s on the bottom of your feet and the palms of your hands come off quite quickly. Due to the reason you stated – shedding of skin quickly. I also read since they’re extremely sensitive areas and that they hurt a lot to tattoo!
I’m sure someone a lot more experienced and knows their stuff will comment and let you know 100%.

Unless you’re in a wheelchair, it ain’t gonna work.
They won’t heal properly because they’ll rub on your shoes, your weight will probably push a lot of ink out, they won’t get a chance to scab over or anything like that, just cos they’re on the soles of your feet.
that’s just the healing stage too, if you somehow managed to get through that, you’d need the tattoo to be touched up yearly.
Just not a good idea in general.
I tried tattooing the bottom of a client’s foot once early in my career. He had alot of prior ink in various places from other artists and myself, alot of it was very large work. He was able to endure all of it fairly well even in painful areas. Except his feet. He was unable to withstand the pain working on the bottom of his foot more than 30 hectic minutes. He was unable to sit still for almost all of it. What he wanted was a tattoo of a squashed bumblebee, entrails hanging out, the works. He ended up with just an outline. 6 months later, it had all disappeared except for a few spotted reminders of the experience. I won’t make the attempt ever again and I don’t recommend anyone else trying it
