I am wanting a tattoo of a hummingbird with a tribal behind it on my foot. Any experience or opinion on the level of pain I can expect?

Don’t let pain be a mitigating factor in whether you get a tattoo or not. Think about it, ink is being injected under your skin, by dozens of little bouncing needles! OF COURSE ITS GOING TO HURT!
Besides that, on the foot there is next to no cushioning between the skin and the bones, blood vessels and nerves, so the “pain” is intense.
Speaking from experience, I have a big toe tattoo, which wraps around my toe from between it and the next toe, wrapping around to the other side, to almost meet underneath it is between the base and the first knuckles – it was quite an experience to get! Going back for the colour was worse though because I knew what I was in for!
I also got a tattoo on the top of my foot along the base of my toes, this one was not as bad as the toe but was still quite extreme.
Remember the “pain” doesn’t last long, and its worth it because at the end you get to display some awesome, unique art.
Go on, do it, you know you want to.
My foot hurt the most (in comparison to hip and inner forearm/wrist) but it was tolerable. Obviously, the closer it is to bone, the more it hurts. Mine wraps from the base of my toes around to my ankle, and when it got the base of the toes it was pretty uncomfortable. But, as usual, you do get numb to it after a bit, and if that’s where you want it,it’s worth it! My foot tattoo is definitely my favorite and gets the most compliments.
Yeah it will hurt, because there are a lot of nerves and not much skin there.
I have a tattoo over the arch of my foot, and that hurt like a *****, but only for one hour. I’ve not had it two years so it is comparible.
Furthermore be aware that the constant rubbing of shoes and socks means that tattoos on feet fade quicker than other parts of the body, and they also can be a ***** to heel.
Good luck.
I had quite a small butterfly on my foot when i was about 17 and i didn’t think it hurt that much really. Tattoo’s do hurt somewhat but they are bare-able, they tend to go numb after the first 10 Min’s or so.
I’ve had 2 other tattoo’s and the foot was the least painful. My inside wrist was the worst.
If you love your design and really want the tattoo then you will get it down regardless if it hurts or not.

I didn’t think it hurt much at all. I got it on my inner foot below my ankle bone. However, I would recommend you talking to your tattoo artist about the placement because they are more likely to fade if they rub against your shoes etc. The touch up for mine hurt worse than the tattoo!!!
My step mum has a tattoo of an eye on her foot, and she said its the most painful out of her tattoos [she has a few] and she doesnt complain of pain atall, so good luck lets hope you deal with pain well! Im sure it will look nice though
The foot is one of the most painful places to get a tattoo because there is nothing to cushion the needle. It’s just skin— bone
i know someone who got a tattoo on their foot and they had to use crutches for a week and a half cuz it hurt sooooo freakin bad
its very painful BUT my friend who doesn’t take pain very well was able to handle it. she squeezed my hand like crazy but she did better than i thought. so expect pain but you’ll be fine.
out of my 4 tattoos, the one on my foot definitly hurt the most, and it was the most expensive
The skin on the foot is very sensitive, so yes. Add the normal pain of getting a tattoo to that.
Its not too bad it feels kind of gross when they go over bone or vein though
feels like getting scratched really hard
My mom got one on her foot, and she has like 20 tat’s, she said it wasn’t one of her most pleasant.
yes it does hurt but worth the pain for the art when it is done.
i dont have any tattoos but my got one on her foot and she said it hurt ALOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pretty sure it would. I have one on my ankle and that hurt bad…
Of course it hurts.
a loooooootttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ya it hurts where ever you get it
Water.

I wish my cats slept at the foot of the bed. Hubby and I have a queen size water bed. And all our cats sleep with us. (6) Often I don't have room to move around. Generally they sleep all night and get me up are 4am to be let outside. I have tried sleeping on the couch and all the kids come to lay with me. I try to sneak out and get into my own bed. No such luck they all get up and follow me. Its kinda funny to watch and see who gets to the bed 1st.
Just don't smoke them, you can get addicted even after smoking one.
the front kick ball of the foot unless its to the gron then its with the instep think top of the foot

Cash did this better. It sounds bad slow like this, and when he starts singing about the empire of dirt, it sounds…off. Cash has his deep tone that makes the song sound like it’s it’s his…the NIN guy doesn’t have anything to really write a song like this for. He’s like 35…it suits johnny cash better.
Best bet would be to build a 2×6 platform to set it on. Ours looks really good and works for pipes and drain. Lots of cute ways to fix them up.
