How can I have bullets for every first level item in the document ?
Putting renewcommand{\labelitemi}{$\bullet$} in the itemize works well but just for this itemize. I tried putting it on top of the document but it doesn't not work.

You can easily do that with the enumerate package:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}[{$\bullet$} a.]
\item One
\item Two
\end{enumerate}
\begin{enumerate}[{$\bullet$} 1]
\item One
\item Two
\end{enumerate}
To see more examples just type texdoc enumerate on your command prompt to get access to the package documentation.
Edit:
As per the comments below, if you want to change the bullet symbol within the enumerate environment you can use this code:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{pifont}
\newcommand{\mynewitem}[1][]{\refstepcounter{enumi}\item[#1~\theenumi.]}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}[{$\bullet$} a.]
\mynewitem[\checkmark] Right
\item normal item
\item another normal item
\mynewitem[\checkmark] Right
\mynewitem empty item
\mynewitem[\ding{55}] Wrong!
\item etc.
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}
Note that \mynewitem accepts every symbol, and the packages amssymb and pifont are just to get the \checkmark and crossed (\ding{55}) symbols.
What about this?
\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{mathabx}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\setlistdepth{8}
\setlist{leftmargin = *}
\setlist[itemize,1]{label=\textbullet}
\setlist[itemize,2]{label=\textopenbullet}
\setlist[itemize,3]{label=$\blacktriangleright$}
\setlist[itemize,4]{label=$\smalltriangleright$}
\setlist[itemize,5]{label=$\sqbullet$,leftmargin = 1cm}
\setlist[itemize,6]{label=$\square$=,leftmargin = 1cm}
\setlist[itemize,7]{label=$\blackdiamond$,leftmargin = 1cm}
\setlist[itemize,8]{label=$\diamond$,leftmargin = 1cm}
\renewlist{itemize}{itemize}{8}
\begin{document}
\begin{itemize}
\item Level 1
\begin{itemize}
\item Level 2
\begin{itemize}
\item Level 3
\begin{itemize}
\item Level 4
\begin{itemize}
\item Level 5 Lalala Lalala Lalala Lalala Lalala Lalala Lalala Lalala Lalala Lalala Lalala Lalala
\begin{itemize}
\item Level 6
\begin{itemize}
\item Level 7
\begin{itemize}
\item Level 8
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\end{document}
