<human>: I want to get a tattoo but I'm afraid of the pain. What are the best ways to minimize the pain?
<bot>: The best way to minimize the pain associated with getting a tattoo is to make sure you choose an experienced artist who specializes in body art and has experience working on delicate areas like the skin around your eyes or neck. You can also consider using numbing cream beforehand, as well as taking ibuprofen before and after the procedure. Additionally, try to find a comfortable position during the tattooing process so that it doesn't hurt as much. Lastly, be sure to drink plenty of water and take deep breaths to help reduce any discomfort.
