Take a calm and relaxed state of mind, and the best way to reduce pain is to smile and laugh, to relax. If you take an MP3 player consider loading it with comedy... Eddie Izzard or something.
Pain depends on location on body and skill of artist. A lot of people make too big a deal of it, if your first is on a shoulder you'll barely feel it if you have a skilled artist.
