Tarot tattoo: 15 beautiful ideas to get inspired

Once viewed in a negative light, tattoos are now recognized as an art form and express the personality and tastes of those who have them.

There is no shortage of ideas and reasons when deciding on a tattoo design: it can be a tribute to someone, a striking song lyric, a reference to a book or a movie, or even a health warning, such as tattoos that indicate a specific health condition.

If you’ve already decided to get a tattoo, but you’re still not sure about the design, how about getting a tarot tattoo?

Tattoos vary a lot according to the artist’s style, but mainly according to the client’s taste.

If you don’t like the art of more classic oracles, like Tarot de Marseille, for example, you can choose to tattoo re-readings of your favorite tarot card!

Check out 15 amazing tarot card tattoos below and find the style that suits you best!

The crazy

The Fool represents the beginning of a journey, the full potential and innocence of someone just starting out.

This simple and beautiful tarot tattoo is inspired by the Rider Waite Tarot and is perfect for anyone who needs extra strength on a new adventure, or for anyone who needs to remember to watch where they are stepping!

the Priestess

The Priestess is the representation of intuition, the connection with the unconscious and with what is hidden. A tarot tattoo inspired by this card will be a reminder to let go of the outside world, look within and reflect.

the Lovers

The sense of having to be at a crossroads and having to make a choice is put aside in this more literal reinterpretation of the letter Os Enamorados: while more classic oracles bring a male figure having to choose only one of two (or more) female figures, the artist of this tarot tattoo chooses to make it more neutral.

The car

The Car shows success in projects, as long as you have control over your life and direct it in the right way, always with a lot of commitment and dedication.

This tarot tattoo was inspired by the beautiful The Wild Unknown Tarot and can be a reminder of how you have to work to achieve your goals, always in a balanced way and without rushing.

the hermit

Many tarot cards call for moments of reflection, moments when you must look within, and The Hermit is one of them.

A tarot tattoo inspired by this card can be a reminder that there is nothing wrong with taking some time for yourself and turning on the light of wisdom that is within you.

Wheel of Fortune

Everything happens in our life in cycles: when one phase ends, another begins soon after, and this change does not always happen smoothly.

This Wheel of Fortune-inspired tarot tattoo is a great reminder that not everything is permanent!

Death

Death is the end of cycles, of things that are no longer useful and that need to leave our lives so that new situations and opportunities can arise.

The meaning of this card appears in this tattoo through the skull, a super common element in several different oracles to represent Death.

This tarot tattoo will help you remember that not every end is negative and that you have the opportunity to learn from every change!

The tower

If Death is the end of a cycle, The Tower is the collapse of everything you believe in.

A tarot tattoo of this card is sure to be a reminder that changes are necessary and there is no way to avoid them.

The star

If you are in need of a feeling of protection or perhaps a message of hope after going through difficult times, then a tarot tattoo inspired by The Star card in the style of Rider Waite Tarot is perfect!

The moon

A more minimalist representation of the card A Lua, but that illustrates well the meaning of uncertainties, illusions and hidden situations of the card. If you like simpler tattoos, this can be a great inspiration!

The sun

With The Sun comes clarity and success; this is the time to put your dreams and ideas into practice with the certainty that everything will work out. Surely a tarot tattoo with such a positive meaning will be able to give you an extra boost to accomplish everything you want!

three of hearts

The suit of Cups is linked to relationships with others and emotions and the Three of Cups, in most oracles, is linked to friendships and the way you relate to them.

If you are looking for a tarot card tattoo to do with friends, this might be a good idea!
