Tarot Tattoos?

I don't have any tarot tattoos, but for a few years I was really considering one. I wanted the Death card from the Art Nouveau tarot. I still think she's gorgeous, and looking at it now just makes me want to get it all over again! :( But I never could decide where I'd get it since I didn't want any sleeves, and I already have a tattoo on my back. If I'd had the perfect place figured out, I'd probably have that one right now!

I also thought about getting the Wheel of Fortune. I'd been going through lots of ups and downs, and the Wheel really resonated with me at the time. I didn't have a special image picked out, though. Thinking about it now, the Shadowscapes Wheel is pretty (wasn't published at the time), and a version of the Crystal Tarot's Wheel would be, too. The blind Fortune in the Art Nouveau wheel is pretty, of course, and I'm also partial to the whimsical Vacchetta/Tarot of the Master wheel, even though it's sort of gruesome!

One of my favorite cards, period, is the Thoth Star, and I think she'd made a super gorgeous tattoo as well!

This thread is giving me all sorts of ideas! :bugeyed:

MissJo, the phoenix death card you posted from the Shadowscapes would be beautiful! And emmsma, your Osho Zen wheel is fantastic!!

By the way, my current tattoo is somewhat related: I have the zodiac and the four elements between my shoulder blades. The image was adapted from an illustration in a friend's book about alchemy.

I need to see a picture of that.

I need to see a picture of that.

You know, I actually had my husband snap a picture this morning, but it's entirely out of focus! Not sure how he managed that. I'll try again in the next day or two. I'd wanted a picture for myself, in fact, since I forget what it really looks like as I never see it very well!
 

Darkness

If you're talking about the sun & moon in the center of that reading cloth, I think it would be really nice as a tattoo!

Yes that is exactly what i was talking about, it would look great i think!

You should look through the rest of the deck! All of the cards are beautiful!
