Faces are gorgeous, backs are hideous. Scratch the Joker: it should be Two-Face.

Re: Tattoo Playing Cards by Thanh Phan [KS]
oh wow! the art on this is amazing! the tucks, the courts.
i do feel like the 2 jokers are out of place in this deck with the other courts that are shown. maybe they will make more sense when seeing all of the cards.
it appear that the courts are different for each deck, which i love. so, for me, it would be worth it to get both decks. i am concerned that both decks may only be available in some sort of boxed set. i cannot tell if the first picture is a second type of boxed set or just some setting or display for the picture. either way, just the decks please. please do not gate getting the set or one of the decks behind having to buy a fancy box.

Jokers are shit. Tuck boxes could be better. Courts are chef's kisses.

Re: Tattoo Playing Cards by Thanh Phan [KS]
I was lucky to know the artist myself, let me try to drag him here for a better deck this time!
I mostly collect Stockholm17 and always looking for any S17 New/Opened decks/ accessories: Brick Boxes, prints, coins, Pins, ect... If you have some weird small thing and want to trade/sell please let me know! If you are also a fan and have free time to chat, feel free to send me a PM!

Re: Tattoo Playing Cards by Thanh Phan [KS]
I would go with this deck over Real Skin. Real Skin is like the Playing Arts deck or AoP's Ultimate deck; where it's a pure art deck. It's great for what it is, but not playable. This one is more playable as it's only 1 artist with a unified theme

Re: Tattoo Playing Cards by Thanh Phan [KS]
this campaign is live and it seems pretty good. you can get one deck or the other or both together. there are box sets but not required. $15 each seems just what i would expect from these deck's features. i still think the jokers on the cool deck are out of place but i really like the art overall. will be in for these.

Re: Tattoo Playing Cards by Thanh Phan [KS]
A solid deck. I pledged for the 4 deck package. Plus he is Vietnamese, nice to support a fellow from the same country. I hope the quality of the card stock and tuck are good. Any knowledge of the company printing these?
I was a little disappointed with the Kingdom deck (by a different artist/creator) received a few months ago through their KS campaign. The tuck looks nice but I question the quality, looks very thin to me…

I has the chance to handle his prototype in one of the recent meeting in the Local Offline event in HoChiMinh city, while it's a shame that i wasn't able to lure him into selling me his prototypes, i can vouch for the Cards and tuck qualityDestinationQ1 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 21, 2022 8:21 pm A solid deck.

While the earlier decks of his uses stock with not as good quality, the later one has been improving tremendously and now on the Tattoo deck (at least the prototype one) the stock feels awesome, exactly how the Notorious gambling frog of S17 recently, also the gilded deck handled just as nice as the non gilded! the smoothness is good as i can spring and fan without issue, can even riffle fan for almost 3 full circles with a handled deck.
The tuck i think look abit thinner on the campaign than in real life, it was thick black core matte paper stock which is thicker than standard USPC and almost as thick as a Parour tuck.
The man is doing great but he is abit shy, i will try to drag him here right now lol, he need to see all the suggestions!

Re: Tattoo Playing Cards by Thanh Phan [KS]
Hopefully, he's learned from his recent campaign (Rising Hell) and the complaints he's getting from that. I too, have complaints...the packing was so tight that one fo the decks got damaged, and somehow the numbered seal (inside the cello) was smudged beyond recognition.
Re: Tattoo Playing Cards by Thanh Phan [KS]
You should open them (The Rising Hell) if you really want to be disappointed. The cards came out horrible, as much as I loved this tattoo deck when he first showed it, no way I would back this deck which is a shame.

Re: Tattoo Playing Cards by Thanh Phan [KS]
My decks arrived safe and sound. Thanh Phan did a great job, and on time as well.
