<human>: I am planning to get a tattoo, what is the procedure like?
<bot>: The procedure for getting a tattoo is relatively straightforward. First, you will need to decide on a design and find an artist who can create it for you. Once the design has been approved, you will be given a set of instructions regarding preparation before the actual tattooing process begins. This includes cleaning the area to be tattooed and numbing it with local anesthetic. After that, the artist will begin creating the tattoo by using either a machine or hand-poking the ink into your skin. Finally, the artist will apply a bandage over the tattoo and leave it in place for about six hours.
