20 Enchanting Tarot Tattoo Ideas That’ll Cast a Spell on You
A tarot card tattoo feels like a little secret you carry on your skin — a symbol of what you believe in, what you’re working through, or simply what lights you up. I’ve been falling down the tarot-tattoo rabbit hole lately, and wow: there are designs that are soft, spooky, bold, and wildly tender all at once. Below are 20 of my favorites — each one feels like a tiny story you can wear.
The Moon — mystery, intuition, and a touch of charm

The Moon card always makes me want to curl up with a journal and a cup of something warm. This tattoo leans into that quiet, mysterious energy — not just the crescent moon, but an ethereal woman and a tiny cat that sneaks in a little whimsy. It’s perfect if you like exploring emotions and intuition, and want something that feels both dreamy and a little magical.
Lovers, but make it gothic — skulls and forever

Okay, this one turned the classic Lovers card on its head — skulls locked in an embrace. It’s romantic in a deep, intense way: a reminder that love can be eternal, even when it’s dark or complicated. If you like the idea of love that’s fierce, unflinching, and a little gothic, this will hit you right in the chest.
Cancer energy — simple, sweet, and deeply emotional

There’s something so honest about a crab right on your skin. This Cancer tarot tattoo keeps things minimal but meaningful: the crab front and center, clean lines, and that unmistakable vibe of home, family, and feelings that run deep. If you’re a Cancer or you just resonate with that cozy, nurturing energy, this one feels like a gentle nod to your inner world.
The Tower — chaos that becomes new life

The Tower can scare people, but honestly, it’s one of my favorite reminders: sometimes everything needs to fall apart so something better can grow. This tattoo shows the tower struck down in all its dramatic detail — it’s a badge for anyone who’s been through upheaval and came back tougher, wiser, and somehow renewed.
A hand, tarot cards, and blooming fate

This design feels like a small ritual: a hand holding tarot cards surrounded by flowers, with the word FLORECE (bloom) tucked in. It reads like an ode to growth — like fate is tender and alive, and you get to flip the pages. It’s elegant, bold, and quietly hopeful.
Sun tarot — bloom, wildness, and warmth

There’s something so chic and warm about a Sun card with the words Le Soleil. It feels timeless and elegant, like a promise to look for light and joy. If you want a tattoo that’s both worldly and uplifting, this is it.

Strength isn’t about roaring; it’s often about gentle patience. This tattoo shows a calm figure with a lion, which always makes me think of inner resilience and the soft power of kindness. Wear it when you want a reminder of your own steady courage.

This matching Two of Cups set? Pure heart. Cups facing each other, sharing that mutual respect and balance — it’s the kind of tattoo couples, best friends, or partners-in-crime get when they want to celebrate a real, reciprocal connection.
Star + Moon pairings — hope meets intuition

Putting the Star on one arm and the Moon on the other feels poetic: one side offers hope and renewal, the other holds intuition and mystery. Together they’re a gentle balance of light and shadow — perfect if you like your symbolism with symmetry.

Add a third eye to the Moon and suddenly everything feels like a spiritual wake-up. The bright yellows and oranges lift the design, while the third eye nudges you to look beyond surface meanings. It’s bold, vivid, and full of inner-seeking energy.
The Magician — floral details and infinite possibilities

Here’s another Magician, but softer — flowers weaving around the classic symbols and the infinity sign quietly reminding you of limitless potential. It reads like empowerment with a gentle hand: you create, you manifest, you grow.
Neon Moon — cosmic vibes with a dreamy twist

If you like your tattoos loud and otherworldly, this neon Moon is a vibe. Bright lines, an all-seeing eye, and a constellation of stars make it feel like a little slice of a neon dreamscape. It’s playful, futuristic, and absolutely unforgettable.
The World — completion, celebration, and confidence

This one feels celebratory: a woman standing strong in the center, surrounded by ornate patterns and bold red accents. The World is about reaching a milestone, finishing a chapter, and feeling accomplished. Wear it when you want to honor a big win or the journey you took to get there.
Yin-yang tarot — balancing fire and face

One arm with swirling yin-yang flames, the other with a steady face — together they’re a visual harmony of opposites. It’s for folks who accept the chaos and the calm, the masculine and feminine, the light and dark. Balance, but make it artful.
Abstract Star — bold shapes, big heart

This abstract take on the Star card is so fresh — stark black outlines with pops of orange and blue give it an artsy edge. The Star still stands for hope and guidance, but the design says: I’m interpreting my own symbols, thank you very much.
L’intrepide — a playful, brave twist inspired by Tintin

This one’s a total delight. Taking inspiration from Tintin and turning it into L’INTREPIDE (The Intrepid) gives the tattoo a cheeky, adventurous energy. It’s for people who live boldly, love a little nostalgia, and want their courage served with a wink.
Wrap-Up
A tarot card tattoo is more than imagery — it’s a little personal crest you carry, a reminder of the energies you relate to or the story you’re telling yourself as you move through the world. Which one of these feels like yours? If you end up getting one, tell me which — I want to know the story behind it.
