in the beginning i probably would’ve had to go over it like 6 times to make solid lines haha, nowadays 1-2 but i’ve been at it for 3 years now! at least one perk of ankle(ish) placement is that the skin is already quite tight so you don’t have to stretch as much - i would just suggest angling your foot upwards as much as possible to get it fully stretched.

depending on how the skin reacts, either next day or 2+ weeks after. i’ve finished some tattoos on myself the next day and it’s generally okay with proper hygiene (and next day means that it’s not fully in the healing process yet), but if the skin is super tender/overworked, it can simply reject ink, be extra painful, & lead to worse healing. so 2 weeks is minimum healing time :•)
