The top of the foot is a pretty sensitive area - not much padding. You will want to avoid friction on the area while it's healing - so open to air, or encased in well-fitting sneakers. It will swell - possibly a LOT. My toe ring tattoo puffed up over 1/2 inch high on my entire toe and up into my foot, too. It didn't hurt for me, though - it tickled. Plan on it hurting like H**L, swelling up like crazy, and being sensitive for weeks.
Oh yeah, and the tattooed area will be super sensitive to the sun for MONTHS afterwards. Just casual sun will make it burn, so you'll need to put sunscreen on it every day it's not covered up well into the fall.
Good luck!
