<human>: I want to get a tattoo. What should I consider?
<bot>: 
1. Consider the design and meaning of the tattoo you are looking for before committing to it.
2. Research the artist and shop you're considering to ensure that they have a good reputation, as well as look at their portfolio to see if you like their work.
3. Think about how long you plan on keeping your tattoo.
4. Make sure you're comfortable with the cost, both in terms of money and pain.
5. Get a few references from friends or family members who've gotten tattoos before.
