Sole of Foot Tattoo Aftercare

[misslitty]

Hey, I'm new here and in search of some advice.

I just got a tattoo on the sole of my foot and I am wondering how to abide by the aftercare guidelines in such a strange location. It is difficult to keep this area dry (sweat) and going barefoot is not an option. Any suggestions as to how to keep it clean and dry?

Welcome! I had a foot tattoo years ago. It wasn't one on the sole though. OMG you are brave! All I can remember doing is when I sat down I took everything off that foot to air it. I think my foot swelled up as I remember having trouble getting my shoe on. lol.... Also when you go to bed stick your foot out so, nothing is on it like a Duvet etc... or prop it over your duvet so the air gets to it (if you know what I mean). For what I can remember my foot tattoo healed really quickly.

Great will do, thank you! And what did you do about having to wear socks all day at work, school, etc?

If you have to wear them then wear them. At the end of the day a sole of the foot tattoo isn't going to last long anyway.
