i have a skull on the top of my right foot, not to be morbid or "trendy" but because it conveys the raw emotion that i felt when my coach in high school was murdered. and also when a friend in college died in a car wreck. i never got to really say goodbye to either of those people. so the skull is a memorial to them and it is to remind me that death is just around the corner and i should make every minute count.
my newest tattoo is on top of my left foot. it is in honor of my family heritage. my mom was born in korea but never knew her birth mother because of... racism basically. so i got a takeout box with traditional korean art on and around it. and i got a fortune cookie because i love them so much. this tattoo means the world to me because it is a part of me, my mother and my grandmother whom i have never met.

have five tattoos: shoulder blade, ankle, lower abd, small of the back on the spine, and on the top of my foot. It was definitely the most painful out of all five, nearly unbearable but I got through it. I was really happy that I had chosen something so small that it took less than fifteen minutes versus the hours for the other ones.
I would say it also depends on where you're planning on getting it on the foot. If it's a meaty part like big toe or along the outside of the foot, not going to hurt as bad. Mine runs along the ridge-type part of your foot along the bone lengthwise. The tattooist said he had problems holding the skin taut, but he was more concerned with wear and tear than anything else. He suggested I not get it, said because of shoes and socks and the overall texture of the skin on the feet that it would wear off and be barely recognizable within a few years. Wrong! Out of all of my tattoos it is the one that has stayed the freshest looking - going on 7+ years and is not even close to needing a touch-up like all the rest of mine. All my tattoos are black, and it's the only one that hasn't got any sort of tinge of blue to it.
If you handled all your other tattoos fine, then this one may be more uncomfortable, but not anything you're going to pass out from. I was a skinny 19 year old girl when I got mine and I made it fine. My suggestions are do it now in the summer when you'll be able to wear sandals or flip-flops while recovering. You won't want to wear regular shoes while it's healing because it'll definitely rub and probably mess it up. Also, if you are a sandal wearer, bring a pair along with you so that you can put them on and see exactly where to place the tattoo. It's the same as the ones on your back, arms, etc., you'll want to know what it looks like when it's clothed. My friend got some sort of big lady bug on her foot and didn't realize that every time she wore flip flops it would be entirely covered up by the straps and that it would be the one place on her foot the straps would rub the most.
Good luck!

I do. My entire left foot is covered with a mehndi design done in regular tattoo ink.
It was definitely the most painful of my tattoos, and very difficult to sit still for, but I love it. I plan to have my right foot done, as well, when I decide what kind of design I want on it. I will probably stick with the mehndi motif, and just pick completely different design elements.

If have a black star and a red star on my right foot. I love it. It's closer to my toes so it didn't hurt at all. It actually tickled the entire time it was being done. After care was annoying though because I couldn't wear any type of shoes for about three days.

I don't, but I want to get three butterflies on my left foot, decreasing in size from the toe to about mid-foot.
