The Bad Ass Tarot Deck by Harley Spencer - 78 Cards | Pop Art Collage Tarot for Adults 18+ | Divination & Fortune Telling

Forget everything you know about tarot. This deck doesn't play by the rules—and that's exactly the point.

The Bad Ass Tarot Deck is not your grandmother's tarot. Created by contemporary artist Harley Spencer, this 78-card deck is a bold, irreverent, and visually explosive reimagining of the classic Rider-Waite-Smith system—filtered through the lens of pop art, collage, street art aesthetics, and a healthy dose of attitude. Each card is a standalone work of art: striking, sometimes shocking, often hilarious, and always thought-provoking. This is tarot for people who refuse to be ordinary. For adults 18+ only.

What Makes This Deck Extraordinary

The cover alone tells you everything: it features Maud Stevens Wagner—the first known female tattoo artist in the United States—a woman who broke every rule of her era with grace, grit, and ink. She is the perfect symbol for a deck that celebrates rebellion, authenticity, and the courage to be unapologetically yourself.

The Art of Harley Spencer

Harley Spencer is a contemporary artist specializing in alternative tarot decks and collage-based artwork with a strong street art aesthetic. His style is defined by the juxtaposition of historical imagery with modern graphics and bold messages—creating something that feels simultaneously timeless and urgently contemporary. With the Bad Ass Tarot, Spencer has created not just a divination tool, but a manifesto: a declaration that self-knowledge can be irreverent, that wisdom can wear a leather jacket, and that the cards don't have to be solemn to be profound.

How to Use

This means that any beginner can learn to read it using standard RWS guidebooks, online resources, or the digital guide accessible via the QR code on the box. The cards speak clearly—they just do it with a lot more personality than most.
