Tattoo Tarot: Ink & Intuition

For tarot, I cannot say I am not the most interested in the various decks on offer yet this particular deck stole my heart immediately. Olivia Munden, or Megamunden as he is credited under with this deck, has created a beautiful deck with an interesting tattoo theming. As someone who appreciates the aesthetics of traditional western tattoos, seeing all the personal interpretations Olivia Munden has given the cards is amazing.

The designs given to each card had thought put into each one and it shows. Each individual card had research put into them for their meaning and/or history and it shows if you know a thing or two about tarot. Even if you're unfamiliar with tarot, understanding each card when they are upright is made easier with how the design each card has received.

Even the guide that comes with the deck has had a lot of work put into it. The most useful part of the guide is obviously the parts detailing the meanings of each card and the upright meanings of the cards is given plenty of detail. This also brings me to my one complaint I do have and that is the lack of meanings for when the cards are in reverse. Everything else has been done right, from the cards, box design and the upright meanings of the card, so the lack of meanings for when the cards are in reverse are a bit of a surprise.
