<human>: I have been thinking about getting a tattoo. What should I know before I do it?
<bot>: Before you get a tattoo, there are a few things you should consider. First, decide what kind of tattoo you want and where you would like to place it. Consider your skin type and how the tattoo will look in different lighting conditions. Think about whether or not you can live with the design for the rest of your life. Research the artist and their work so that you can feel comfortable with them. Finally, make sure you're ready financially and emotionally before committing to a permanent mark on your body.
