Take an exciting trip through an extravaganza of 78 vivid and expertly hand-painted Tarot cards inspired by the vintage, old-school tattoo flash of Sailor Jerry Collins. Influenced by Rider-Waite, this deck and guidebook are styled for the serious life explorer, identifying important symbols and key thoughts visually, so you may intuitively read the cards and demystify your own journey. Fully equipped to tackle anything—the microcosmic to the macro-enormous—the Majors feature archetypal figures sure to play roles in our lives as aspects of ourselves or situations we are bound to encounter. The Minor suits have their own look and set of common symbols and are concerned with life's little details. Along with a comprehensive glossary of symbols and their meanings, three simple spreads, and descriptive essays to guide you, this set offers eternal truths via the timeless medium of Tarot.
Sailor Jerry would approve. This is an exquisite deck that packs a lot of symbolism into their traditional tattoo theme. The cardstock quality is a bit thin, and the deck is a curious square shape and may take some getting used to. This does not riffle shuffle well, so expect to pass it hand over hand to shuffle. The deck begs to be edged in black. I would love to trim it down, but it would monkey up the backs. I will be purchasing a second copy to trim and finish at a later date. This is a cheeky deck that doesn't shy away from telling it like it is. I have not decided whether or not this will be used for client readings or not. With that being said, this is a wonderful deck and I would definitely purchase more decks by the author in the future.
