These ‘Hocus Pocus’ Tattoos Will Put a Spell on You

Hocus Pocus is a comedy horror and fantasy film about three witches: the Sanderson sisters. Winifred, Sarah and Mary were killed in 1693, only to be resurrected 300 years later when the black flame candle was lit on All Hallows Eve.

These witches aren’t the good-doing sisters from Charmed or anything like Sabrina and her aunts – the Sanderson sisters are pure evil. Billy Butcherson, Winifred’s unfaithful lover is brought back as a zombie to help the sisters to steal the souls of all the children of Salem, Massachusetts.

Released in 1993, there had been rumours swirling of a sequel for years, which finally became a reality. Hocus Pocus 2 was available to stream on Disney+ in 2022, with Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy reprising their roles as Winifred, Sarah, and Mary Sanderson. The Sanderson sisters will return once more as Disney has confirmed that a third film is in production.

If you love both Hocus Pocus and the art of tattooing, you’re in the right place; this list features over 40 tattoos inspired by this cult classic movie. For your own tattoo, I suggest that you re-watch both films to find prescily which character, scene, quote, song, set or location it is that has put a spell on you.

There’s so much you can do with a movie-themed tattoo. Let these Hocus Pocus tattoos put a spell on you, but remember to only be inspired but never copy them.
