Russian Gypsy Card Readings…

Russian Gypsy Card Readings…

Ok so everyone knows that I am a self proclaimed witch (my license plate does say “BRUJITA”) but not everyone knows what that entails. One of my many magical talents is doings various readings one of witch (intentional misspell! ;o) being reading the Russian Gypsy Cards.

These cards came to me in the Dark Night of My Soul. When I could find comfort nowhere they came to me to change my life and help me to help others find a way to change theirs.

I have to explain more about these cards and my idea of oracle readings. They are NOT Tarot. Not that I have anything against Tarot, I love getting Tarot readings but these are and Oracle set. Tarot is an Oracle but not all Oracles are Tarot. (Did I confuse you yet?) Ok here goes…

For me a reading is not a glimpse into your set-in-stone future. For me your future is ever changing depending on every word, thought and action YOU decide to take. So there is no fear in getting a reading. It is a birds eye or what I like to say an angels eye view of your path. Where you are right now and where you are going with the current decisions you have recently made and are making. If you do not like your reading for any reason YOU can change it! That is the beauty of knowing where you are and what direction you are headed.

Its like if you do not like your current situation in life…change it! Only you can.

So the Russian Gypsy Cards are 25 cards with 4 half pictures on each card. There are 25 pictures that can be read in 4 different meanings depending on how they lay (rightside up, upside down or to either side). First step is to shuffle the cards and ask “What do I need to know?”, because they are tricky they can only tell you about your life according to Free Will (with your permission) and if you ask too precisely, such as about love, you may miss something you NEED to know about but they can’t tell you because you didn’t ask. From there we lay out the cards and see how many full pictures you get. Readings can range from 20-30 minutes to 1-1.5 hours depending on how many pictures you get and how in depth we get into your situation.

Again if you get anything you don’t like now you know to change it. Also they may give you some things to think about. Because you ask “What do I need to know?”, they may tell you something that knocks you off your feet. Sometimes we are so focused on our goals that we have blinders on and we cannot see what may be coming at us such as someone trying to sabotage us. So they cards can give you warnings to this. This is GOOD. I would rather have a “suspicious” reading of things to look out for than to have an-everything- is- perfect reading (because it never is!). THEN you can be prepared to handle whatever it may be that is brewing outside of your peripheral vision.

And sometimes the little buggers will tell you stuff you have NO idea what it is. That is normally when it’s a bit ahead in the future and you don’t know what that thing is. Often if you are intuitive you have an idea of the unfolding of events or of what they are related . Or in three days at 3:34am you will shoot up in bed and remember what the reading said and what it is connected to waking up your spouse with a shrill “YES! Now I know!”

So there is no reason to fear a reading and every reason to know where you are like landmarks on the road to life. So call or write to make your appointment via skype, phone or chat or even better in person. So be it.

Implementing Scars into your Tattoo Design

Implementing scars into your Tattoo Design….(thanks Matt)

So Tattooluum has done a piece on how tattoos can hide scars but what about embracing them into a tattoo?

We spend so much time trying to be perfect but isn’t what makes us imperfect what defines us? If we have a scar it’s a landmark or better bodymark of where we have been, what we have done, or what we have been through. Lets embrace it an celebrate it with none other than a …..tattoo..after all that is what we do!

A friend of mine opened my eyes to this when we were discussing his keloid scars he has on his body. These he wants to make into a background or a topic for his tattoo, and why not? Scars can give a tattoo texture and make it come alive. We can dress up scars and celebrate them. Why not join the two forces that individualize us..scars and body art….into a more detailed roadmap of our lives outlined on our body??

Ok so let’s hear it..comments anyone? And feel free to leave comments on our other blogs as well…..thank you for your time.

Tattooluum´s tats heal inner scars and hide outer ones

Many of us dangerous tattooed people already know the healing power of tattoos. Inner scars are literally far deeper than outer scars but sometimes in covering the outer scars inner ones can heal too. A tattoo by a good artist can help. Covering scars is not an easy task..depending on the type of scar and where it is and its texture really determines if it can be covered. Especially here in Mexico many women have scars from childbirth after having a Cesarean birth. This can lead to shame or a low self esteem when it comes to wearing a bathing suit and here in the Mexican Caribbean its like our uniform.

Martin has been able to help women like this and others through scar covers. It really points to the talent of our artists when they can handle such a multi-faceted subject, because with a scar appointment you must be sincere but sensitive to the client. Then you must be able to determine the type of scar and if this tissue will be able to be tattooed. There is nothing worse than a client hoping to better their deformity than to make it worse. Its important too that they do not expect a miracle, that way when one happens they are pleasantly surprised!

Tattooluum is proud of the clients that take the time to face their physical deformity as well as the inner scar in order to cover as well as heal. None of us are perfect and we all have battle wounds inner and outer but if we can make the outer ones just a bit prettier and ease the inner torment and make the person feel better about themselves, well that is just priceless.
