Have you had a tattoo before? The top of the foot is a tough place for healing. You need to keep bacitracin on it and clean it frequently. do not put any shoes or socks on. Sounds like it could be infected. It could be a reaction to the ink as well. If you do have an infection most likely you will develop a temperature as well. Monitor it and if it doesnt get better see a doctor.
