Is the top of the foot actually the worst spot to get tattooed, or am I just being dramatic? (lemmy.world)

I’ve been tattooing for over 9 years, but getting my own feet and ankles done felt like a completely different beast compared to my back or legs. For the collectors here: what was your "never again" spot where you almost tapped out? Also, did you find that the healing process was a nightmare with shoes, or did you just live in flip-flops for two weeks?

I don't think I would ever do it again without an epidural or general anaesthesia hah. You should offer those at your shop

I imagine the bottom of your feet, your butthole, and eyes to be worse than the top of your feet.

The collar bone was 10x worse than the ribs for me.

The tiny bit of rat tail that snaked around me bicep to the inner arm made me think I was getting skinned alive. I dunno how you do it
