I want a tattoo on my foot?

I want it a bit above the arch, and i want the word happy or patience just in black and quite small. But i heard it can get faded and painful or infected? i'm not worried about it fading too much, i can get it touched up.

Thanks :]

i have been on here asking questions because i want to know more about them before i get one. and yeas i can get one, i was recomended a place that will tattoo me and is clean. i don't know why you say i can't. :/

I just recently got a tattoo on my left foot, my dad has had his tattoo for about 4 years now. To stop it getting infected and/or fading, use Bepanthen antiseptic cream daily.

All those things are a possibilities. It'll fade naturally, but it'll be faster the more the sun hits it. it will be painful, but most people think it's worth it and finally it will get infected if the needle isn't clean or the shop isn't sterile or the artist didn't wash his hands.
So recap: keep it out of the sun, expect it to hurt and always go to a tattoo shop with a good reputation. talk to people first, see if your friends know someone and talk to the tattooist to determine if you like him/ her before they decorate you.

black always fades, my foot is the sorest one i have (i have 11) and your foot is the most common place to become infected i was told to put tissue on mine when i was wearing socks to stop the scabbing come off etc. although mine was painfully ur mine not be different pain barriers so i wouldn't worry about that. its worth it

Firstly all tattoos fade, its part and parcel of having one! If you want the best from your tattoo its advise that you go back for touch ups every now and again! As long as you take care of it during the healing process and don't pick the scabs you will reduce the need to get it touched up for a few years!

Secondly, if you visit a clean, professional artist there is no higher risk in getting an infection on your foot than there would be if you were to get one on your arm! I was however told to protect it if I was wearing shoes but I got it done in the summer so stuck to flip flops until it cleared!

Thirdly, think seriously about how you will feel when your older with happy or patience permatantly etched on your skin...you look quite young and most things seem like a good idea at your age!!!!

I think you're a bored, lonely, little girl. You've spent a lot of time on here lately talking about getting a tattoo at 14. You're not getting one, you can't.
