Human: I'm looking to get my first tattoo. What should I know? Assistant: 
Before you get your first tattoo, there are a few things that you should consider. First, make sure you're comfortable with the design and symbolism of the tattoo. You may want to look up images of tattoos similar to what you're thinking about getting so that you can gain an understanding of the meaning behind them. Second, research the artist you plan on working with. Make sure they have experience in the style of tattoo you're interested in and ask for references if possible. Third, find out as much information as you can about the pain associated with the tattooing process. This will help you decide whether or not it's something you're comfortable doing. Finally, be sure to take plenty of time to think about the decision before committing to getting a tattoo.
