Getting A Tattoo

I have made up my mind. I am getting a tattoo.

我决定了。我要去纹身。

Really? Are you sure?

真的吗？你确定？

Yeah! Why not? They are trendy and look great! I want to get a dragon on my arm or maybe a tiger on my back.

对啊！为什么不呢？纹身很流行，看起来也很棒！我想在手臂上纹条龙，或者背上纹只老虎。

Yeah but, it is something that you will have forever! They use indelible ink that can only be removed with laser treatment. On top of all that, I have heard it hurts a lot!

是啊，但是纹身是一辈子的事情！他们用的墨水是去不掉的，只能用激光去除。而且，我听说纹身很疼！

Really?

真的吗？

Of course! They use this machine with a needle that pokes your skin and inserts the ink.

当然啦！他们用一种带针的机器，刺进你的皮肤，把墨水打进去。

Oh, I didn’t know that! I thought they just paint it on your skin or something.

哦，我不知道！我还以为只是画在皮肤上什么的。

I think you should reconsider and do some more research about tattoos. Also, find out where the nearest tattoo parlor is and make sure they used sterilized needles, and that the place is hygienic.

我觉得你应该重新考虑，多了解一下纹身。另外，查查最近的纹身店在哪，确保他们用消毒过的针，店里卫生。

Maybe I should just get a tongue piercing!

也许我该去打个舌环！
