How I did it: I asked all of my friends for the best tattoo parlor in town.  After many responses I settled on one.  I had a consultation with one of the artists and really broke down everything I wanted.  And after having a bunch of people try and talk me out of the bottom of my foot I decided I wanted it, and the tattoo is really for me.  So screw em and do it anyway! 

All you have to do is commit to yourself and find someone who is willing.  I know that the place I went will do a few touch-ups, but they won't do all of them (because of the location of the tattoo) for free.  I'm willing to live with that.  And I love it.  My artist did a perfect job!   

Lessons & tips: It will take some time to find someone willing.  But be committed, someone will do it! 
It may tickle. 
It may hurt.  There are a lot of nerve endings and some spots hurt a lot. 
If you know what you want, go with it - but if you get one like mine (very fine lines) you have to hold very still...
