EmpyreanKnight Posted December 17, 2017 Author Posted December 17, 2017 US Games doesn't always release deck and book sets. But if the companion book is anything like the one published with the First Edition, the detail and extent of the info in it are bound to be exceptional. It might not have the same production value, but when it comes to books I focus more on the content. Here are snapshots of the book from the indie version: Sources: Elements of Magick Eight Coins Shop
Queen of Nothing Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 Oh my goodness. I have a mighty need. I love tattoos and the artwork is lovely. Its a shame I didn't know about it before, but I'm looking forward to getting it.
Freyja's Daughter Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Oh my! So Excited! I have one of the first edition indie decks I picked up second hand which I love love love, but will definitely pick up the US Games version as well to have a second deck. Love the imagery so much. Some of her card interpretations and use of visuals are not what I would prefer, however the artwork is so lovely I am willing to overlook that. Very excited, can't wait. :)
EmpyreanKnight Posted December 23, 2017 Author Posted December 23, 2017 Me too! I don't think I'll ever consider having a tattoo on any part of my body (never say never tho), but the art here is quite something else. I'm glad to know you actually have the deck and liked it a lot, FreyjaVanir. Also, welcome to the Forums! :D
EmpyreanKnight Posted January 17, 2018 Author Posted January 17, 2018 Breaking News! Eight Coins' Tattoo Tarot is now available on pre-order, and is due to be released next month, in February 2018.

Set includes: • 82 cards • 188-page full color book • Eight Coins’ Tattoo Tarot Rose Spread The cards measure 3” x 5”, while the box itself is 4.75” x 7”
skywatching Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 Wow, this looks good !! I have been looking for a deck with this style of tattoo artwork so I'm glad I stumbled onto this thread otherwise I would not have known about it
Hedera Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Oh, that is great news!! The first edition is one of those decks I've regretted not finding out about until it was too late. Curious to see (feel) what the cardstock will be like; USgames can go either way - horrible like the Joie de Vivre, or excellent like the Dreaming Way... Interesting to see such a Thothy 8 of Wands in all those RWSsy images!
