No longer a women-only tattoo placement style, the ankle is rapidly becoming a popular place for men to discreetly show small, symbolic images. Ankle tattoos not only show off a man’s modern sensibility, but they also have the advantage of being versatile and easy to hide.
For the modern man, showing a bit of ankle is bold.
Out with the socks, out with the stuffy pants that go all the way to the floor! Ankles are where it’s at.
With an ankle tattoo, showing off this bit of unexpected skin is even bolder. You can choose to pack in the punch of an ankle tattoo design with small, sleek images that hold tremendous personal meaning. Gruff classics like Celtic and tribal symbols are perfect for this small patch of skin, as are names, dates, and personal mottos.
More daring men might even choose the ankle to make an even more audacious statement. While the ankle is small, it is an unparalleled starting place for a large, intricate masterpiece that extends all the way up the leg. There’s no reason to think of the ankle as an isolated spot that can hold only one minuscule symbol.
Take advantage of this usually overlooked patch of skin to put a beautiful design that truly represents your aesthetics and values. The limit is where you decide it is, be it the knee, the hip, or the armpit.

1. Winged Ankle Tattoos
In this ankle tattoo design, the artist takes a realistic approach to create the different layers of angel wing feathers, using black and gray ink to create subtle variations in the feathers and white ink for the highlights.
Here, using precise lines and an expert application of black and gray shading, the artist creates a wing that looks like it belongs to an archangel, perfectly evoking images of the wings of Greek god Hermes, the messenger of the gods.
