Description
Rider Waite Deck
Three swords piercing a heart (a heart icon, not an anatomically correct one). One sword goes vertically down, one down and left and the other down and right.
In the background is a gray sky with 3 clouds at the top gushing and heavy driving rain.
This card looks very like "classic" tattoo art.
