Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned artist, a well-placed ankle tattoo is worth the nine minutes of discomfort. Back in the 1990s, every celebrity had a lower-leg tattoo, but the craze seemed to have died out. After everyone and their mother has had a little weeny, ultra-delicate inner bicep tattoo, it’s time to think about below the calf.

Consider this: the ankle is rarely seen, and it is never the focus of attention (unless you want it to be), yet the skin does not age and droop there as you age, making it ideal. Instagram, fortunately for us, is flooded with inspiration, like true tidal waves of fashionable girls with amazing tattoos. Just keep in mind that you’ll want to go barefoot from now on.
