Input (English): Passage: I had been wanting to get my tattoo fixed for 5 years now and I just could n't seem to save up the several hundred dollars it would cost to get it fixed . The other day it dawned on mt that I could buy my own tattoo machine online . I researched tattoo machines , needles and inks for the better part of a month at different online retailers before I decided on a retailer . I watched videos about the product , tutorials and user reviews . I figured since I am an artist and pretty good at drawing and tracing that I would give it a go .

Question: When did they research the product? Option1: after the author realized a tattoo machine was cheaper Option2: after they saved up amazon gift cards
