Because the skin around the ankles doesn’t crease or sag much with age, ankle tattoos are highly popular and may be easily hidden with your jeans rolled up or flaunted with a beautiful pair of shoes. Tattoo artist Dillon Forte claims that despite being extremely popular in the 1990s, the trend is rapidly resurrecting: “Whether it’s part of a larger piece going up the leg or a standalone band or design, I see a lot more popping up, and I’ve seen plenty of cool designs out there.”
Ankle tattoos are typically less expensive due to the smaller canvas; nevertheless, the ultimate cost will depend on the artist and their hourly rate. However, a more complex design could require more time and result in a higher final cost. You get what you pay for, so depending on the design and artist you choose, expect to spend anywhere from $150 to $2500 per hour. Additionally, be sure to complete your research in advance.
Although the ankles are not the most pain-free parts of the body to have tattooed, tattoo artist Mira Mariah of New York says the pain is not too bad. Nevertheless, it might be difficult to predict someone else’s level of suffering because everyone has a different threshold for pain and discomfort. However, Mariah and Forte agree that it’s an especially great place for first-timers because it’s tiny, quiet, and easily hidden.
