Chic Ankle Tattoos That Are Tiny but Mighty
As the old saying goes, good things come in small packages, and that's never more true than with a tiny tattoo delicately placed on your ankle.
Having spent the last couple of weeks helping my sister pour over hundreds and hundreds of different small ankle tattoo designs, I can personally vouch that all of the inkings on this list are the foam of a very large glass of ankle tattoo designs.
A fairly easy to tattoo area, is a smaller canvas than the back or ribs, making tattoos there inherently understated and delicate by size.
While the ankle is generally a less visible tattoo spot than, say, the wrist or back of the neck, this placement allows for easy coverage, making it an ideal choice for those who might be slightly tentative to get inked in a more prominent location.
Similar to collarbones and ribs, your ankles are another area with particularly prominent bones. However, pain is all about nerve endings, not about what area’s bonier, so if you're planning to get a tattoo directly over your ankle bone, be prepared for a similar level of pain to the one you can experience on meatier areas. Slightly above or below the bone toward your heel can be a bit more mild, but keep in mind that the skin is still quite thin.
The ankle is one of the most popular locations for both noobs and experienced collectors. Especially women, if for no other reason than the cool factor alone. According to researchers from the University of Chicago, 15% of tattooed females have tattoos on this location.
