Considering the fact of tattooing, it itself can be considered a formula. One can cautiously and throughly choose the design of tattoos. One can twist the things and images roughly and make certain what one wants. Since the tattoo is permanent firstly you need to choose what you really want and then after choose from whom who really want to do tattooing on your body? Looking for someone who is really good at tattooing would be a nice idea. You need to consider his/her previous work or art of tattooing and if you are happy then you may need to visit his/her shop to see whether it is clean or not? Better have a look onto his/her equipment and see they are sterile or not? After your decision is made then it can be considered that the first formula is complete and you can move onto the next step or next formula.

Now, since the decision is made and once you are ready to go, take an appointment because you may not get appropriate amount of time while others customers are present there. But before this, once again review the design and make sure you are satisfied completely with what you have chosen. After the artist has seen what you have selected for tattooing, he/she will then set up the station and then prepare all the equipment that are required for the art of tattooing. These things include the ink, towels, needles, soaps and others. After this make your body comfortable as much as possible and make sure that the art of your body where you are about to make tattoo does not move much. After this, the artist may shave the body part if required and they are ready to begin their work. The tattoo artist then turns on the machine, dip the needle in the ink, regularly wipe the tattoo with an antiseptic and apply the tattoo goo. The same process is carried out till the final tattoo print is ready and hence your final tattoo is all ready to be revealed. Finally, have a look onto the mirror to see your final tattoo. 

After you have a tattoo, there is one another formula left that you need to consider as long as you have the tattoo on your body. It represents the aftercare of your tattoo. Once you have tattoo on your body you need to wash it at regular basis with the help of anti-bacterial soaps or fragrance free soaps. Then, make it dry thoroughly and apply the aftercare products preferred by the tattoo artists. This process, you need to repeat number of times in a day so that your tattoo get heal in the most effective way. After the tattoo is healed finally, the complete series of formula now there is one more formula that you are going to complete. This is the aftercare of the tattoo. You have to wash it regularly with an anti-bacterial, unscented soap. Dry it thoroughly and then apply the aftercare product of your choice. This will need to be repeated several times a day in order for your tattoo to heal in the most optimum way. After it is healed, you have completed the series of formulas intricate in the art of tattooing.

To sum up, as far as I am concerned, it is certain that the things that we do in our everyday life have some sorts of specific formula to be followed. We encounter these things while we watch movies, films or in many of our daily routine activities. These formulae really make us comfortable to live our life in the most effective way. In the beginning, I never thought that the theory of formula would really suit the art of tattooing but now I have realized that it is the theory of formula that really matters the most.
