Custom Tattoo Studio in Preston

Can’t beat a bold neo-traditional rose 🌹 Loved putting this one together on the back of the hand — strong lines, solid contrast and plenty of detail packed into a small space. Oh… and it’s also a cover-up 👀 Sometimes the best cover-ups are the ones you’d never even know were cover-ups.

POV: Your wife wants a tarot card tattoo… so naturally you get put to work 🖤🔮 A little behind-the-scenes look at the full process from stencil to finished piece.

There’s something different about being trusted with someone’s very first tattoo 🖤 I recorded the whole process from my POV — from getting the stencil on and making that first line, right through to the finished piece. First tattoos can be nerve-racking, so making the whole experience as relaxed and comfortable as possible is just as important to me as the tattoo itself. Would you let me record your tattoo from my POV? 👀 Sponsored by @inkmarketing.co @crocarttattoocare 📍 Preston, Lancashire 📩 DM for bookings #tattoo #tattooartist #tattooing #tattooprocess #tattoopov firsttattoo tattooreels tattooideas blackandgreytattoo blackandgrey uktattooartist uktattoo prestontattoo prestontattooartist lancashiretattoo

My beautiful Tay ❤️ We had to say goodbye to you, and I honestly don’t think words can describe the hole you’ve left behind. You weren’t just a dog, you were family, my best friend and such a huge part of our lives. Thank you for all the years of unconditional love, loyalty, laughs and memories. I just wish we could have had more time. The house won’t ever feel quite the same without you here, but I know how lucky we were to have had you in our lives. I hope wherever you are now, you’re running free, happy and waiting for us until we can all be together again. Sleep tight, Tay. I’ll love and miss you forever. Until we meet again.

Full cover sleeve using opaque greys. Yes it helped massively having had a few sessions of laser making it easier to cover with lighter shades but turned out way better than expected. Sponsored by @inkmarketing.co @crocarttattoocare

Coverup done for Chris. Part of an ongoing sleeve. Glad I didn’t have to cover anything else up on this arm. We also offer laser for those tattoos that are just too big/dark to cover. Sponsored by @inkmarketing.co @crocarttattoocare

Chest piece completed for Ryan. This took 2 full day sessions. Sponsored by @inkmarketing.co @crocarttattoocare

I’ve been so bad a posting recently. I have loads of pictures and videos just sat waiting to be posted. Here is lion piece for Matt. Sponsored by @inkmarketing.co @crocarttattoocare

First tattoo for David. Sat really well for this. I have some midweek space in June. DM to book in Sponsored by @inkmarketing.co @crocarttattoocare

Dotwork/geometric gauntlet for James. Managed to smash this out in a day session. Love how it sits on the hand. Sponsored by @inkmarketing.co @crocarttattoocare

Gnarly Egyptian coverup for Jake yesterday. Probably the hardest cover I’ve attempted as the previous tattoo wasn’t that old and had bold text in it. Sponsored by @inkmarketing.co @crocarttattoocare

Big dense chest piece for Matt. Some finishing up to do next time as didn’t quite make it to the finish line. Big piece in a tough area so fair play to getting this far. Sponsored by @inkmarketing.co @crocarttattoocare

Yesterday’s piece for Adam, not my usual thing but enjoyed it all the same. I still have space left in November. DM to book in. Sponsored by @inkmarketing.co @crocarttattoocare

Coverup for Steven today. He’s been wanting to get rid of this old tattoo for a while so why not just bosh a big Knight over it. Sponsored by @inkmarketing.co @crocarttattoocare

Added the background to Aaron’s leg sleeve. Had to offset the lion because he already had a front thigh piece. Sponsored by @inkmarketing.co @crocarttattoocare

I did this cover up 7 months ago for Alisha. She came in today for another piece and thought I’d share how it’s looking. No touch ups, just one pass on quite a bold underlying tattoo. Sponsored by @inkmarketing.co @crocarttattoocare

Alan wanted a piece in memory of his parents. His dad bred finches and his mum loved butterflies. He asked me to come up with something that wasn’t too “feminine” so here’s the piece I created for him. At the bottom there are two numbers signifying how many days we spent with each parent. Sponsored by @inkmarketing.co @crocarttattoocare

All we had time for on the lion mandala piece. Mixing realism and pointillism takes so much time but not bad at all for a 6 hour session. Sponsored by @inkmarketing.co @crocarttattoocare

All we had time for on the Egyptian piece for Josh. More hieroglyphs for background next time. Sponsored by @inkmarketing.co @crocarttattoocare

Kissing skulls Sponsored by @inkmarketing.co @crocarttattoocare

Finished this inner arm off for Kyle. Loving the high contrast on the colosseum. Sponsored by @inkmarketing.co @crocarttattoocare

Almost there with this sleeve, covering two old tired pieces. One more session to go. The inner forearm was a difficult one because of how dense it was. Happy with how it’s all turned out so far. Sponsored by @inkmarketing.co @crocarttattoocare

Finished this sleeve off for Tim today. Completed in 3 full day sessions. Sponsored by @inkmarketing.co @crocarttattoocare

Had so much fun at @crocartmasters convention at @dubbed_out_festival_ over the weekend. So many talented artists all in one place! No egos, just great people, great conversations and awesome tattoos. Sorry to all the people that wanted tattoos from me over the weekend, my piece took a little longer than anticipated so didn’t have time for any more. I managed to bag 3rd place in black and grey on the Friday so still buzzing from that. Congratulations to all the winners over the whole festival. Until next time!! #dubbedout #crocarttattooaftercare #crocarttattoocare #dermalizepro #blackandgreytattoo #darksurrealism

Doggy portrait from yesterday. Had to turn the lights off for the picture because of the glare but you get the picture. Sponsored by @inkmarketing.co @crocarttattoocare

Todays piece for Paul. Small coverup in there too. Covering an old paw print. Sponsored by @inkmarketing.co @crocarttattoocare

Full coverup leg sleeve started. Spent the last couple of days on this opaque grey piece. A lot more to do over the next few sessions. Lighter greys will most likely need another hit to get rid of the old tattoo better but love how this is looking already. Sponsored by @inkmarketing.uk @crocarttattoocare

Bit of LOTR action today for Jonny. Big balrog piece to do next time. Sponsored by @inkmarketing.uk @crocarttattoocare

Made a great start to Alan’s sleeve. We’re building a bull sleeve of places that he’s travelled with his wife. Looking forward to adding more to this. Sponsored by @inkmarketing.uk @crocarttattoocare

Very difficult cover from today. This original piece was doomed from the start. Not only is it a badly done portrait of an ex partner but it had the wrong time on the clock. The whites are still a bit pink and some parts may need another hit after healing but I’m pretty happy with how this turned out. Sponsored by @inkmarketing.uk @crocarttattoocare

Todays piece for Dave Sponsored by @inkmarketing.uk @crocarttattoocare

Big coverup from yesterday. Difficult one but well happy with how it turned out. Sponsored by @inkmarketing.uk @crocarttattoocare
