Dreamline Tattoo & Body Piercing - Poker Page
From traditional to new school and realistic to abstract, playing cards used in today's tattoo designs come in an assortment of styles and represent many things.
The Queen of Hearts can represent love, or rising against tyranny and oppression as represented by the Queen from Alice in Wonderland.
A Joker tattoo often represents a wild or lucky chance. This is a popular tattoo for those requiring luck or who like to take chances.
Good hands like the Royal Flush, also make great tattoo designs. Gamblers and poker fanatics often get tattoos of winning hands as good luck charms which may incorporate cards with other symbols, like poker chips and dice. These tattoos sometimes include lucky tokens, like four leaf clovers, horseshoes, coins, or lucky numbers.
Card tattoos can represent both good luck and bad luck, Bill Hickok was shot while playing poker before the last card could be dealt, and his hand, the two black Aces and two black eights, now commonly known as the Dead Man's Hand, is also a favorite poker tattoo.
People who dominate in all aspects of life are drawn to the Ace of Spades tattoo. Historically, the Ace card was the lowest ranking card in the deck. The French Revolution changed all of that. During this period, card games were played with Ace being the highest, which symbolized the importance and power of the lower class. Since then, the Ace of Spades being both the highest card and highest suit beats all other cards. It is also known as the Death Card by some people. Gamblers especially understand the importance of holding the Ace of Spades.
