Does a tat on top of foot near ankle wear off easily?

I practice yoga and would like a lotus flower on my foot closer to the ankle. I understand the pain levels cuz I have 2 other tats but am concerned about it wearing off and having to be redone. I'm usually barefoot or in flipflops and occasionally tennis shoes. If there's nothing rubbing the skin I figure it will last longer.

I have a star on my foot close to my ankle %26amp; its been there for almost 3 yrs. I tan, go out in the sun %26amp; do all sorts of stuff %26amp; it hasnt worn or faded yet! But alot of it fading might depend on what color you get. Mine is just plan black. I hope this helps! Good Luck :)
Reply:if you do everything as the artist tells you in taking care of it you should be just fine, but the healing of tats on the foot can be a little slow because of al the movement
Reply:I had a tattoo done on my ankle over a decade ago and it has yet to fade at all despite the fact that I usually wear boots.Don't think it makes much difference,the ink goes so deep that it'll never fade very much.Its there for life!!
Reply:tats don't generally wear off, but they do fade when in a lot of sun light. just keep sunscreen on it, when you don't have on socks and shoes.


i have 3 tats, one on my shoulder, lower back and on my ankle. the oldest one is 9 years old on my shoulder and i have never had to touch up or anything, and the color is as bright as it was when i first got it. i work in an office so it stays covered up and it has not worn off. tats are ink in the skin, they won't wear off.
Reply:tats dont wear off
Reply:if done right the tat will last as well as all others. But do know that it hurts more getting one there then other places
Reply:I have 4 tattoos one on the top of my foot I have not had mine long (only 6months) but my aunt has one on her foot of lady bugs in grass and she has to get hers touched up almost every year I think tattoos fade more from being exposed to the sun then from the rubbing of your clothes so you need to keep moisturizing it and if you are going to be out in the sun put sunscreen on it. it also depends on what the tattoo is and the colours I have a tattoo on my lower back that needs touching up BAD it is a stencil looking butterfly (black) that has tribal lines on either side of it and it has blue and pink stars around it my stars are fading really bad and I asked about getting it touched up when I got my one on my foot and because the girl who did my back tattoo quit I would have to pay for it to be touched up and they also said that the reason they were fading was because she didn't put a black outline around the stars they are just colour and he said that black outlines help keep the colour in . good luck and F.Y.I my foot tattoo is the smallest of my tats and was the last one I got done and it was the most painful ! I could barely sit Through it and my back one is like 10x the size
Reply:A tat can never come off because the ink is in the skin and will not come off if you got a henna
Reply:tats donot wear off deary.





they fad in the sun,and over many years


become ink blobs.





but they do not wear off...
Reply:Tattoos become your skin! They don't rub away! The only thing that will make it fade is sun. The more covered it is the better. I would just keep sunblock of at least SPF 30 on it to keep it from fading. I wouldn't worry about sox or shoes or anything making it fade, cuz it just won't happen. I would be careful when I first get it too, because you don't want your sox or what ever to rub it while it's healing, because it could possibley rub off a piece of scab and that isn't good for your tattoo either. So once it is healed, as long as you keep sun block on it you'll be just fine. Hope this helps!
Reply:They don't just wear off and disappear. Fading is possible, but as long as the tattoo heals fine and you take care of it from sun exposure you should have a vivid and nice tattoo for years. Even if the colors start to lose some luster you can get them touched up.
Reply:We clothes wear all day long, so if that was the case, all tattoo's will wear off.
Reply:Normally speaking, tattoos on feet wear off very quickly from being rubbed off by shoes and socks. (someone above said all tattoos would rub off by our clothes and this is true, they do.) ALL tattoos eventually fade, I have one that is on my hip-close to where my pants rub and it has faded more than my others.





Seeing as how you are mostly barefoot or in flip flops your tattoo should last longer, especially if you get it properly moisturized.





Also, other than re-enduring pain...most places have lifetime warranties on their tattoos..they will touch them up for free at a minimal charge.





Goodluck!
Reply:if it's uncovered a lot, just make sure you keep sunscreen on it and it should be okay. the sun is a major factor in tats fading. so if your other ones are exposed too, use the sunscreen.
