Hey gang.
I'm looking to not make a full deck, well, at this time at least but I am trying to nail down some of my favorite villains as Major Arcana for a full sleeve tattoo on my arm. I'm a Scorpio so originally I was going to use just cards that relate to Scorpio and to me personally.
Initially the list was small and it was this:
Magician
Death
Tower
Judgment
Hanged Man
High Priestess
With possible add ons of The Moon and The Devil.
Now I've tried to get a wide range of my favorite villains so the list has expanded. Here is what I have so far.
THE TOWER = Eye of Sauron
DEATH = Skeletor
THE DEVIL = Darkness (from Legend)
THE MOON = Chernabog
THE FOOL = The Joker
THE EMPEROR = Cobra Commander
THE EMPRESS = Xenomorph Queen
THE PRIESTESS = Goblin Queen
THE MAGICIAN = Venger, Doctor Doom, Dr. Facilier
JUDGMENT = Darth Vader
THE HIEROPHANT = Soundwave and cassettes
My basic rule of thumb is no two villains from the same background/universe. So no two from Marvel or DC or Disney. Tho I have several favorites from all of those. I clearly have a hankering for 80's villains and monsters too and narrowed the above list down from other choices like Pinhead, Freddy, Mumm-Ra, Mon*Star, Tiamat, etc.
I'm still torn on The Magician as I want voodoo somewhere (but I can also get that as another tattoo down the line) and I must have Doctor Doom but Venger is a great Magician if I used the weapons of power in the image to mimic the items in the Magician card. Plus I loved the hell out of some D&D as a kid.
My question - who else could you see Doctor Doom as? I was thinking Emporer but then I'd need a place for Cobra Commander. Perhaps the Chariot? Not very Scorpio but it could work.
Oh and BTW Goblin Queen is my own original character from City of Heroes so I wanted an original one in the sleeve. Can view her here if you are so inclined. She could fill the roll as Empress or High Priestess.

Any other feedback is appreciated too!
Thanks!
