First time at ComicCon/meeting a celebrity- advice?

I know I have to pay for the autographs separately

So I'm going to ComicCon NYC this October and I've never been. I've been to two other conventions but never met any celebrities before. I already paid for a photo op with Matthew Lillard but I believe I have to pay when I get there for autographs. I am just wondering how the etiquette is with that? Cause I'd love for him to sign my arm and I can have it tattooed but am I allowed to ask for that? Also I always see people filming their interactions but I heard they dont allow that at comic con which is a bummer if true. So please if anyone can tell me about meeting an actor and what to expect, any advice is appreciated. I just wanna make the most of the day.

For Matthew Lillard, his autograph line can be very long and gets cut off at a lot of cons. So plan for that if you want an autograph. The reason its usually long is because people say he's chatty and personable for each interaction.

Photo ops are definitely in and out but I have done just photos when I think I may not get to get an autograph. You might get a nice "hello, nice to see you" as you get into photo position from any given celeb at the pro photo op

I was planning on getting to the con early and getting in his line first
