<human>: I'm thinking about getting a tattoo. What should I know about the procedure and the after-effects?
<bot>: The procedure for getting a tattoo is relatively simple, but it can be painful if done incorrectly. Make sure to research the artist and shop you plan on visiting in order to ensure that you are comfortable with their work. Aftercare is important when getting a tattoo as well. Be sure to follow all instructions given by your artist and take care of the tattoo regularly. You may also want to consult a medical professional before getting a tattoo to make sure it is safe for you to have one.
