You know what’s great about ankle tattoos? A lot of things actually. The ankle is rarely seen and doesn’t bring much attention to it (unless you want that) and the skin on the ankle looks pretty much the same your whole life, which means your tattoo will still look good when you get older!
So, what are you waiting for? Scroll down to see these cute ankle tattoo designs and find the one you like!
