A：I have made up my mind. I am getting a tattoo.我已经打定主意了,我要纹身。

B：Really? Are you sure?真的?你确定吗?

A：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.是的，为什么不确定呢?纹身很时髦，看起来也很棒。我想在胳膊上纹条龙或在后背上纹只老虎。

B：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!但是，纹身会一直有的。纹身用的是擦不去的墨水，除非用激光清除。而且，我听说纹身也很疼。

A：Really?真的吗?

B：Of course! They use this machine with a needle that pokes your skin and inserts the ink.当然，他们用带针得机器刺穿皮肤，将墨水注入进去。

A：Oh, I didn’t know that! I thought they just paint it on your skin or something.我不知道啊。我过去以为就是在皮肤上画点图案。

B：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，并多研究下纹身，找下最近的纹身店在哪里，并确保他们使用消毒的针头，而且店要卫生。

A：Maybe I should just get a tongue piercing!也许我只应该做下穿舌。
