Tattoo makes individuals vulnerable to cancer.
Foot tattoos are generally considered to be more painful than tattoos on other parts of the body.
Tattoos are a very personal choice that often holds a lot of meaning to the wearer. Whether it’s coordinating designs with friends, honouring lost loved ones, commemorating special dates, or celebrating favourite pop culture references, tattoos can be an eye-catching addition to one’s appearance.
One particular woman’s tattoo, got a lot of conversation going online. People were baffled by her unusual choice and it wasn’t just the tattoo that caught attention. The image, which surfaced on Reddit’s weird forum, showed her foot, where the second and third toes were significantly longer than the big toe which is a rarity.
The user who uploaded the photo captioned it: “Oompa Loompa doompa-dee-do,” highlighting the woman’s unique toes alongside her tattoo.
Commenters expressed amazement at the tattoo, while others appreciated the humour, “I had lemons and made lemonade.”
Another responded: “Right?! Everyone trash-talking in this thread is crazy. The girls have some weird feet; I gave them a (well done) funny AF tattoo!”
One curious Redditor noted: “Not sure if the toes are fake. I know people can have different length toes, but that’s a very different length!”
Another wrote, “I DON’T LIKE THE LOOK OF IT,” about the movie that inspired the tattoo.
Whether you’re a fan of the tattoo or not, one thing is for sure – the person who got it must have been pretty brave. This is because foot tattoos have a reputation for being extremely painful.
Foot tattoos are generally considered to be more painful than tattoos on other parts of the body. The reason for this is that the skin on our feet is thin and close to the bone, so there is little muscle or fat to cushion the impact of the needle. Additionally, the feet are full of nerve endings, which can make tattooing there more sensitive.
Besides, exposure to tattoos may be linked to an increased risk of cancer, a latest Swedish study has found. The study, published in the peer-reviewed medical journal The Lancet, found that tattooed individuals have a 21 per cent increased risk of malignant lymphoma versus non-tattooed individuals.
