<human>: I've been thinking about getting a tattoo for a long time. What are some things I should know about tattoos?
<bot>: Some things to consider when deciding if you want a tattoo include the size and placement of the design, as well as the type of ink used and its potential health risks. You may also want to research the artist and shop before making your decision. Additionally, it’s important to think carefully about the meaning behind your tattoo, as it can be an expression of yourself that is permanent and visible to others. Finally, make sure you have realistic expectations about how much pain you will experience during the tattooing process.
