Stars are a tattoo design for the foot that are small enough to add additional details without the tattoo becoming too large for the body part. Nautical stars are for sailors or for people wanting direction. A five-point star with streams behind it to resemble a shooting star is a tattoo for someone wanting to express reaching for their dreams. Use a group of stars in different colors to represent siblings or your children or to commemorate a set of accomplishments, such as obtaining a degree and finding a job.
A traditional foot tattoo design is one that represents a sailor's superstition. Perfect for a person who is afraid of water or drowning, this foot tattoo keeps you land locked. The tattoo design consists of a pig and a rooster, with one of the animals on each foot. Both animals are afraid of water and represent the person staying afloat and away from the danger of being immersed in water.
A butterfly tattoo is placed on one foot, or each side of the wings is placed on the left and right foot. When the two feet are put together, the butterfly wings and body are lined up. This winged creature symbolizes beauty, new beginnings, and depending on the culture, has a variety of interpretations. "In Japan, a butterfly represents emerging beauty and grace, with the added notice to regard change as joyful, not traumatic," according to Vanishing Tattoo.com. China, on the other hand, sees the butterfly as a symbol of a happy marriage.
