To spice up your playing card ink, you can add some alluring visual elements. Many tattoo lovers enjoy the magnetism of a poker deck on fire.

Furthermore, the Ace of Spades has some occult oomph to back it up. Many numerologists associate this particular card with the power of death.

As a result, it is often joined by macabre imagery such as skulls and crows. Some body art fans consider playing card tattoos to be their personal lucky charms.

These stylish insignias may just make you rich during your next visit to the gambling hall. In fact, with the hand we are about to deal, Lady Luck will surely shine on you.

This simple, black line work piece takes the familiar image of the joker and creates a lovely tattoo. The artist uses cross-hatching and precise line work to give the design the appearance of a hand-cut lithograph.

This design also seems to give a nod to the ancient Tarot card tradition which predates and is the inspiration for, modern playing cards.

Here is an example of a tattoo that uses interesting composition and clean execution to enhance a fairly simple design.

The black is well saturated and helps add contrast and give an added level of definition, keeping this tattoo from looking washed out.

This tattoo uses black and gray shading to create an excellent, photo-realistic piece. Everything on this tattoo works: the shading is expert, the line work is consistent and the use of negative space for highlights helps the piece to pop.

The overall design is well balanced and the composition incorporates the different elements perfectly; however, it is the small details that make this an impressive piece.

The shape of the dice is perfect; while this may not seem important, that is only because here it is so well executed. This large, illustrative piece is another example of how classic, playing card art can be incorporated into a tattoo.

Here, the king of diamonds and queen of hearts are the focus and the artist seems to have used images from Bicycle playing cards as inspiration for their design.

The line work in this piece is consistent and the composition is well planned, allowing the figures to overlap without feeling bunched.

Sometimes, simplicity is the best. You can illustrate the main poker symbols just as one this photo. You can adjust the sizes according to your preferences, though.

Well, love is not a crime. Some people tattoo the names of their life partners and some can tattoo the poker cards. What luck it is to find someone with the same interests as you have.

And if that interest is poker you can go for poker tattoos for couples! So, you can be her king and she will be your queen… Or the other way round, whatever is comfortable for you both.

Ultimate romance. Again, one of the most important and maybe weird rules of playing poker — have your poker face on.

But this guy seems to have taken this phrase too literally. Well, at least it will distract other players and give a competitive advantage to you if you do the same.
