  7. Health: Make sure you are in good health before getting a tattoo, especially if you have a history of skin conditions or allergies.
  8. Removal: Be aware that tattoos are permanent, and while there are options for removal, they can be costly, painful and may not completely remove the tattoo.

Ultimately, getting a tattoo is a personal decision and it’s important to weigh all the factors and be fully informed before taking the step. Make sure you are comfortable with your decision and the tattoo artist and that you have a clear idea of what you want and where you want it.
