<human>: I'm thinking about getting a tattoo. What are some of the things I need to consider before making a permanent mark?
<bot>: 
1. Think carefully about what you want your tattoo to say and how it will look.
2. Consider the design and placement of your tattoo, as well as its size and color.
3. Make sure you're in good health and that you won't regret your decision later on.
4. Ask yourself if you have enough money saved up for any potential complications or aftercare.
5. Talk with an experienced artist who can give you advice on the best type of tattoo for you.
6. Be sure to research the meaning and symbolism behind each tattoo so you know exactly what you're getting into.
