Tat N Tarot

A unique experience combining tarot and tattooing. Each client will receive a one-on-one tarot reading with Emma (@weaving.witch), followed by the chance to choose a design from our tarot-inspired tattoo flash.
Emma has 13 years of experience reading tarot, blending intuition, symbolism, and storytelling into each session. Like tattoos, tarot is an art—both are forms of self-expression and transformation.
