After experiencing the magic of the Summer Solstice at Stonehenge last year, we knew we had to come back… and hopefully make it an annual adventure.
This year it was just me and my eldest daughter. From setting setting off for the long drive ,to the walk towards the stones, soaking up the incredible atmosphere, spending time with the Hare Krishnas, watching the sunrise over Stonehenge, and just sitting together taking it all in… these are the moments that matter most.
No distractions. No rush. Just quality time, unforgettable memories, and one of the most special sunrises you’ll ever see.
Here’s to making this a tradition for many years to come. 🌅🪨❤️

Egyptian futurism meets bold cover-up artistry. ✨

This striking leg piece, created by Molly Waters at joe and molly warrington tattoo artists in Warrington, transforms an old tattoo into something completely new. Featuring a powerful Egyptian-inspired portrait, a cosmic eye, and rich futuristic elements, this design blends strength and elegance in equal measure.

The colours are solid and vibrant, with the majority of the tattoo fully healed—only the headdress is fresh. One of the most impressive aspects is how effectively the original tattoo has been covered while still maintaining smooth blends, depth, and femininity throughout the piece. Large-scale work doesn’t have to be heavy, and this tattoo proves that bold can still be beautiful.

🦥🌿 Progress shots don’t usually make the grid… but this one’s too good not to share.

Working on this custom wildlife sleeve for Sean and we’re loving how it’s coming together! ✨

The sloth and background are freshly tattooed, bringing some incredible warmth and depth to the piece, while the frog and lemur are fully healed, showing just how vibrant these colours stay over time. 🎨🔥

The detail in the fur, rich greens and striking contrasts are really starting to bring this little ecosystem to life. 🐸🐒🦥

Joe usually prefers to wait until a piece is complete before sharing, but he’s been enjoying the journey with this one and couldn’t resist giving you a sneak peek.

🖤 Mandala meets memento mori. 🖤

This custom calf piece by Joe in Warrington combines bold black and grey work with intricate mandala patterns flowing around a detailed skull centrepiece. The symmetry and contrast make this one a real statement piece, with the ornamental elements wrapping perfectly to suit the shape of the leg.

Big respect to the client too – they sat incredibly well for this one. The calf can be a bit spicy in places, but they powered through like a champ. 👏

🔥 August appointments are now available, but they’re booking fast. Everyone wants fresh ink to show off in the summer weather, so if you’ve been thinking about your next piece, now’s the time.

Another incredible black and grey piece completed by our talented artist Molly Waters 🔥

This stunning forearm tattoo showcases everything we love about high-quality realism work – smooth, seamless shading, strong contrast, and exceptional attention to detail throughout. From the intricate ornamental framing to the expressive portrait, every element has been carefully crafted to create depth, flow, and impact.

The amount of time, precision, and dedication that Molly Waters put into this piece is clear to see in every inch of the tattoo. The soft transitions, realistic textures, and overall composition have come together beautifully to create a truly eye-catching result.

A huge thank you to our client for trusting us with this project. We can’t wait to see how this piece settles and continues to develop over time.
