The Eight Coins Tattoo Tarot

The Eight Coins Tattoo Tarot Deck. Concept, book, and art by Elian-James Showell

I've seen other tattoo-themed decks, but this one stood out easily. Very quickly after purchasing it, it became one of my go-to decks. The cards feature interesting reinterpretations of the Smith-Waite Tarot. Many of the cards are highlighted with popular tropes of tattoo culture such as: snakes, devils, beautiful women, bearded men, warriors (both men and women), and skulls. Interestingly, some cards change a typically masculine figure to a feminine one, or replace the human with an animal. Sometimes the character on the card is done away with altogether in favor of the All-Seeing Eye.
