Liza, I have a tattoo on my ankle. It's not right on the bone, its about an inch and a half above it. Boney places do hurt worse, but that spot right above the bone is pretty insensitive. It didn't hurt much at all, it felt like someone was writing it on me with a pen, just pressing kinda hard and going over the same spots over and over. I definately think it would hurt worse on the top of the foot than right above the ankle bone. For tattoos on girls I like the ankle, wrist, hip, or shoulder blade. Anyways, just my 2 cents...
