Gabi Angus-West painted all 78 cards by hand, drawing on the old-school tattoo style of Sailor Jerry Collins: bold black outlines, clear colours, symbols that read instantly. This second edition adds nine new cards and a revised 248-page guidebook with card meanings, three spreads and a symbol glossary.
The symbol glossary is organised by motif, so you can look up exactly what you see on a card and read what Angus-West makes of it.

This deck looks like a collection of classic tattoo designs. Bold black lines, clear colours, symbols you recognise from across the room: bones, flames, animals, flowers. No atmospheric blur, just images that make a direct claim.
Gabi Angus-West painted all 78 cards by hand. She draws on the aesthetic of Sailor Jerry Collins, the American tattoo artist considered one of the founders of old-school style, who worked in Honolulu for decades. That lineage means: every mark is there to say something, not just to look good.
The Major Arcana shows the familiar archetypes, redrawn in tattoo vocabulary. Death carries a skull, the Star appears among branches and blossoms. Anyone who knows the basic structure of tarot will recognise the cards immediately.
In the Minor Arcana, fixed motifs return by suit. Wands get flames, cups get water and flowers, swords get sharp angles and points, pentacles get geometric shapes. That repetition is deliberate: it helps you build connections between cards in a spread.
The court cards have a clear attitude. No ambiguous faces, but characters with personalities you read at a glance. That makes them easier to interpret in practice.
The guidebook runs to 248 pages and goes well beyond card meanings. It includes three spreads, essays on symbolism and a glossary that explains what each motif can mean. You spot an eagle on a card, you look it up, you read what Angus-West says about it.
The deck offers concrete entry points: which symbol stands out, how does it interact with the cards around it. Readers who want something to hold on to will find it here.
Pick one card and look up three symbols you can see on it. Read the glossary entries and notice which one connects most directly to your question.
Gabi Angus-West is an Anglo-Australian artist and author based in Newcastle, New South Wales. She paints, writes and works with divination. Her earlier work includes Tarot Avatara and The Wyrd of Sarah Howard.
In her practice she works with repetition and accumulation as ways of building meaning. That shows in the way symbols recur across the whole of Bonefire Tarot: not at random, but as a system.

Does this deck follow the Rider-Waite structure?
Yes. The structure is classic tarot: 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana across four suits. The imagery is different, the structure is not.

A study deck for those who view tarot as a mystical tool for transformation.
Faunabelle Tarot is the first tarot deck built specifically for children, though its warm imagery and accessible meanings also work well for adults who want a gentler approach to reading. The 22 Major Arcana are illustrated as animal ambassadors, while the Minor Arcana follows a dog, a goldfish, a cockatiel and a tortoise through stories of joy, love, mindfulness and values. Nicola Allan and Juanita Benedicto created this deck together in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
The guidebook covers both upright and reversed meanings in language that children from age 3 and beginners can follow without difficulty.
