That is why the ankle tattoos are made a little above the ankle to avoid some of the pain. And once you do get an ankle tattoo, a lot of care has to be taken in the first few tattoo days. Due to its location, an ankle tattoo is most susceptible to bleeding, this will not only cause discomfort to you, but can also spoil the newly acquired tattoo design. Therefore it is always recommended to keep the tattooed leg elevated as much as possible for a few days. The best season to get a tattoo is summers as in summers the minimum clothing will come in contact with the site where the tattoo has been made, hence facilitating the healing.
