It'll hurt more if it's over a bone, less if it's on muscle or fat, make sure you go to a certified artist who has good hygiene, think about the permanency of it (it can be taken off, but the removal is painful and expensive), tattoos are expensive, you often get what you pay for, think carefully about the design, don't get one under the influence of alcohol, eat something before you get it because a lot of people feel queasy and pukish because of the pain, listen carefully to your artist about post tattoo care and hygiene and do your bit of research on the same. Further, consider your career/profession and how tattoos will be looked upon in your workplace and get one accordingly in an area that can be covered by a shirt with its sleeves folded and trousers- this excludes your face, forearm, neck, ears. It's also not a good idea to get a tattoo on your face, they're just awful, but if that's what you want, get it.
Also consider how others would react and more importantly, how you'd react to them reacting to your tattoo. It's a very personal thing and you should do what you want to, but if you can't deal with others judging you, then don't get one
