<human>: I'm thinking about getting a tattoo. What should I know about this?
<bot>: Tattoos are permanent body art that is created by inserting ink into the dermis, or skin layer. The process involves using needles to puncture the skin and deposit the ink beneath it. It can be painful and involve some risk of infection. Before deciding whether to get a tattoo, you should consider what type of design you want, how much time you have for healing, and any potential risks associated with the procedure. You may also want to consult a professional who specializes in tattooing.
