I want to get a tattoo on the top of my foot but my friend told me that you can never get it touched up. Is that true or is she just an idiot?

Yes this is true, I was just at a tattoo parlor yesterday and on the wall it said "as of Sept 2006 we will no longer offer free touch up tattoo's on hands or feet" I asked them why and they told me that it was because if the tattoos on your hands and feet are not taken care of properly for some reason some of the ink will just not hold and they said that they were getting a ton of people that were obviously not taking care of the tattoos as suggested coming in and wanting more and more free touch ups so they put an end to that, just be sure if you get this done to take really good care of it and follow instructions perfectly as to how to take care of it.

Yes and No I just got 2 tattoo's on my feet. Right on the top. But alot of tattoo parlors and I mean like 90 percent of them won't do feet because feet tattoo's you have to get touched up ALOT or they'll only do 1 free touch up avoid them tattoo's ate VERY spendy and your putting down the money to have a tattoo done and to get free touch ups so what I did was I called 50 tattoo parlous *no joke* and Only 7 of them did feet tattoo's, 3 of them didn't do feet touch ups, 2 of them did 1 touych up for free and charged the rest, and I had 1 that did feet tat's and didn't charge for touch ups So you can get them done but get a place that does unlimted free touch up's or your going to be paying for those tat's for the rest of your life. Hopefully thats helpful! Hit me back I heart feet tats netsirktheatre@yahoo.com

i'm sorry, your friend is just an idiot. i have both of my feet tattooed and i got one of them touched up a few months after i got it done. any tattoo that can be done, can be touched up. what reason would you not be able to get touched up? that doesn't even make any sense!! anyway... get your foot tattoo and rest easy knowing that you CAN get it touched up whenever you need to!!
p.s. it's going to HURT!!

physically, you can touch up a tattoo as many times as you want until scar tissue forms. that your out of luck. if you get you feet tattooed, take a couple days off after to let them heal a bit. than plan on flip flops for a couple weeks after. so maybe wait for warm weather. feet are a bit of a pain like hands. but if your artist does them right, and you let them heal right. they'll stay forever.

shes just an idiot! lol. I have one on the top of my foot, unfortunatly I have very dry skin and I also had to work the day after getting it, and wear shoes and socks. so I had to get mine touched up. and after that I had the color of the flowers changed. (from yellow to magenta) so it can be done.
