Ankle tattoos

Small, subtle, classic. Ankle tattoos suit delicate botanicals, waves, and minimal symbols — and they survive dress codes almost everywhere.

Design for the ankle — free

The honest notes

Pain

Moderate to high — thin skin over bone.

Size & sessions

3–8cm; allow for sock-line friction in aftercare.
