I'm thinking about getting a tattoo but I'm worried about the risks. What are some things I should know before getting one?

1.  Make sure you do your research on the type of tattoo, its design and artist, and any potential risks associated with it.
2.  Ask yourself if you’re ready to commit to having a permanent mark on your body for the rest of your life.
3.  Be aware that tattoos can be painful and cause scarring, so make sure you're comfortable with the idea before going through with it.
4.  Tattoo artists may not have the proper equipment or sterilization practices in place, which could lead to infection or other health complications.
