1. Start by researching different types of tattoos and their associated pain levels.
2. Talk to your doctor or healthcare provider about local anesthetics that can be used during the procedure.
3. Consider getting a numbing cream before the actual tattooing process.
4. Ask for suggestions from friends, family, or other people who have gotten tattoos in the past.
5. Take deep breaths and focus on positive thoughts throughout the tattooing process.
