I need to Wrap my Ankle

[Aggie_Ama]

My work has a no visible tattoo policy. Unfortunately I have a tattoo on my ankle. This summer it is ridiculously hot and our building A/C seems to be protesting to the intense work load. I was going to switch to skirts for relief but I don't want to be in violation on the policy. I was thinking just wear an ankle brace but is this bad for extended periods in the absence of a real injury? I have just one of those slip on compression ones. My tattoo is a rather large rose. about 2-3" across and probably 5" tall. I could probably put a rather large bandaid on it. I would wear hose which practically camoflouges it but most of my shoes are open toed!

i'd go for the band-aid. I think it would be more comfortable and less obtrusive. Though come to think of it . . . would be great if you could use a kid's bandage w a wild design on it.

I'd use a bandaid too. Or, in the alternative, get the very stretchy stuff that comes in tubes to hold on bandages. Kind of like a big tube. It's not tight enough to interfere with your ankle.

Why can't you wear sheer-toe hose (or tights) with open toed shoes?

Otherwise, I'd say band-aid, too. It would match your bruises.

Maybe an Ace bandage?

I would get compression stalkings and just explain that you have been training really hard and they help with recovery!!
haha or I would go with a childs bandaid with cartoon characters on it.
