Nerve irritated: It could be that 1) the post procedure swelling in the skin from the application of the tattoo is irritating a sensory nerve that travels on the top of the foot, 2) there may be an infection under the bandage, or 3) the artist may have gone too deep with the needle. If you are concerned, contact your doctor.

I would see a : Foot doc to ensure you don't have an infection.
