<human>: I want to get a tattoo, but I'm worried about the pain. What are some ways to reduce the pain?
<bot>: 
1. Try numbing creams or sprays before your appointment.
2. Ask your artist for suggestions on how to minimize discomfort.
3. Consider getting a smaller tattoo with less detail.
4. Take a painkiller before and after your procedure.
5. Get an acupuncture session beforehand.
