In the last few years we have seen the foot tattoo become more and more popular

. It is most popular with teenage girls and young women, but even a few men are choosing to have a tattoo done on their foot

. So why this is previously unpopular type of tattoo now in fashion? Well in my opinion there are several reasons

. The first of which is simply down to affordability

. At a time when money is tight a lot of people who would previously have splashed out on a large arm or shoulder tattoo, for example, are now looking for cheaper alternatives such as the foot tattoo

. So despite their current popularity, you could argue that they are very much a second-choice tattoo at the moment

. They are also popular because they are a great entry-level tattoo

. Many young people are cautious about getting their first tattoo done so a foot tattoo can be a great choice because you can test out the idea of having a tattoo on you body without it being too visible

. Plus if you come to regret it later on, you can easily cover it up

. Indeed the fact that this type of tattoo is so discreet is another reason why they are so popular

. The reality is that even in this day and age there are still lots of people that will immediately judge you if you have any tattoos on display

. This group of people can include potential employers as well so at least if you have a foot tattoo done, you know you are not going to be judged by these people

. Another reason why so many people are drawn to foot tattoos is simply because of the huge range of different designs that are available

. Not only can you choose from designs of different sizes but you can choose from lots of different types of design

. For instance you can choose designs such as stars, flowers, hearts, butterflies, insects and animals

. So you will never be short of potential designs

. A final reason why foot tattoos are in fashion is because they can improve the overall appearance of the foot

. The fact is that the human foot is not a thing of beauty, whether male or female, so a foot tattoo is a great way of making it look more attractive, particularly with the wide range of attractive designs that are currently available

. So overall there are lots of reasons why these types of tattoos are now so common, particularly amongst the younger generation
