I was looking for advice from people with ankle tattoos?

Question

I read somewhere that if you get an ankle tattoo on the foot/lower ankle portion, because the skin there moves so much, it causes the tattoo to blur and fade. Is this true? Does anyone have any advice for me? Thanks!!

Answer 1

I know someone who has a one on the lower inside ankle and it looks a mess all the colours have blurred together, she regrets getting it.

Answer 2

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.

So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.

Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.

A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.

Answer 8

My friend got a foot tatoo - and the tatoo parlour would not guarantee it - usually if a tatoo needs retouching in the first year its free.. but on the foot she would have to pay. She hasn't had a prolblem with hers yet -but she has only had it for a year and a bit.. so I'm not sure about long term..

Answer 9

No that's silly. I have had one on my ankle for ten years and it looks pretty much the same. Even if one of your tatoos fade, you can always have it touched up.

Answer 10

I do not think that about the ankles. In moist areas thay fade but not ankles.
