How funny I have stars on the top of my left foot too, but my left foot and ankle are sleeved with stars, clouds, wind and other swirls of color, and let me tell you
It was the most PAINFUL excrutiating pain I've ever experienced. I've had to have it touched up a couple times, and it hurts just as much the first as it has the second and third time. If you've never had a tat, I wouldn't recommend starting with the foot like I did, it made me not want to get a tat for years, but then after I got my other 5 tats I realized its just teh foot that hurts, I am less anxious about getting them, and 2 of mine are on my skull, and those didn't even phase me the way the foot did! Good luck!

first off - decide on the tattoo want. Then make about 10 copies of the picture. Put one on your bathroom mirror, one in your wallet, bascially where you will see it A LOT! If, after a year, you aren't sick of looking at it, then thats the tattoo for you. As far as on the foot, first consider your tolerance for pain. Also consider that it's all bone. Tattoos are more painful when they go over the bones. Also .. are your feet ticklish?! That's another thing to take into consideration. I have 3 myself (one of which I fell asleep during). My husband has 15. My husband's brother is our tattoo artist. He has a heavy hand, which will make a tattoo a bit more painful.

I have the top of my foot tattooed.. and of my 11 plus tats, this was the most painfull. I have a grape vine around my ankle with a cluster of grapes down the top of my foot. I sat for 4 hours before I had enough. my foot and ankle were swollen for a couple of days, I couldn't get my boots tied for work ( I worked for the police dept at the time, good thing I had a desk job!) and I had to go back to get it finished, another 2 hours! I love my tat, but that was the WORST! would I do it again? H*ll yeah! I suggest you relax, the more tense you are, the more it hurts.
I think Koi fish or those big fancy gold fish are cool feet tats.. its like you got your feet in water. I have seen cool star fish and sea motifs too. My artist has cherry blossoms on her feet.

I have a tat on my foot on the top, it was more painful than my other ones. But i could handle it. Some people can't. I would advise you to ask whoever is gonna do it for you to use the tat gun on your foot with no ink in it first to let you see how it feels, you don't want to start gettin a tattoo and stop cuz it hurts too bad.

yeah it hurts, but it is definitely tollerable. I have 3 stars on my foot kind of by my pinky toe. I almost kicked the tattoo artist in the face because I flenched a few times! But when I went back a couple weeks later to get it touched up, it didnt hurt at all! so I think as long as you dont get yourself worked up too much, then it will be ok. I think you should get something special that means something to you. you could get your initials in pretty writing, or if you have any children, their names. Whatever you want to get. Mine didnt really have that much meaning, but I got it because I like stars and I have never regreted it to this day! Have fun!

Not as bad as some. I have 3 little footprint on my left foot, one for each of my kids. that didn't hurt a bit. On my other foot& ankle i have ivy. It only hurt in a few spots. Foot Tats are so hot!! I would definitley go for it!

I have one on the side/top of my left foot, and it's really not that bad. Sure, it stings a bit, but it's bearable...the only part that really hurt was one spot right on the center of the top of my foot, and that was only for a second. As for what to get, I have a realistic butterfly...I think butterflies, flowers, or even a cross would look good. Good luck, it's not that bad!

Tattoos on the body where there isn't much subcutaneous fat (fat under the skin) will hurt more. For example: I have 5 tattoos.
The ones on each of my upper arms didn't hurt much at all. A little irritating is all.
The one on the back of my neck, I fell asleep while they were doing it.
The one on my left breast was very irritating, but it didn't hurt at all. It felt like picking a scab.
However, the one just above my pubic line hurt like Heck!!!! In fact, I don't even like it anymore, but refuse to get it covered because of how much it hurt.

The foot is suppose to hurt the most out of gettin tattoos. Tattoos hurt more where the sun doesnt get to. and your foot is the tenderist area
