Even though they can go on a guy or a girl, ankle tattoos seem to be a lot more popular with girls. That is probably because girls are more likely to show off their legs than guys are.
Most of the time ankle tats are going to be in a some what small design instead of a large pattern. The reason is that this part of your leg does not give much room for the artist to work with.
Anything below the lower half of your calf would be considered the ankle region. One thing that is very important to keep in mind is that this area is going to be quite painful when getting tatted. This part of your leg does not have too much flesh to dig in to, and is very close to nerves and bones…
Ankle ink is well more commonly worn on women than on men. They will usually consist of the more popular female designs including stars, hearts, flowers, fairies, and tribal tattoos etc. A very famous design amongst women is some sort of tribal band wrapped around her leg. This gives the lady an exotic touch and can be seen from every angle.
Although well more common on a female, some men also get this area on their body tattooed. He may get symbols or designs such as small skulls, tribal designs, a cross, or maybe even the name of that special someone. These designs usually tend to be smaller and more simple than on other areas of the body. 
Some people even get Greek mythological images on the back of their ankles to represent Achilles, a legend whose only weakness was his ankles. This could mean that they are owning up to their own weaknesses and trying to draw strength off that.
Woman or man, an ankle tattoo may be the right spot for you! Just remember to keep in mind don’t expect it to feel like an arm tattoo this one is gonna hurt..
