Bicycle Tattoo v2

[awesomeness12]

So the person who made the original tattoo decks decided to make the second version of these cards. They have been out for a while butI haven't seen any threads about them. Everything is the same except you get an add card that you can scan with a smartphone. Other than that, it all looks normal. Or as close to normal as it can be.

Yeah, that's probably why no one's making a lot of noise about the Tattoo V2.  The V1 was considered a bit of an eyesore to most people around here - Di Fatta decks are only baby steps better than Merz67 decks for the most part, though I am rather fond of the new Templar Knights deck.

Yeah there wasn't many people that were massive fans of them and if the only difference is an ad card I can see why there isnt to much of a fuss made about them.

I never checked this deck out either. It didn't seem unique or special enough at the time. I probably would only get this deck if I could get it super cheap, or if I was gifted it. Anybody have it?

I actually liked the neon on black faces....and that's about all I liked.

I have the V1.  It's a good "let's freak this spectator out" kind of deck, but for regular use, carry lots of Tylenol.  And it has a subtle one-way back design.

Doesn't everything come with that these days.

Anyway, I haven't bought a Tattoo deck yet, so, I'll eventually pick this one up to add to my collection. Also, I could have sworn there was another thread on this deck.

Nah, one-way backs aren't that common... And I actually prefer one-way backs cause I don't have to go through the whole deck after each use to make sure they're all in order.

I know they aren't on like every other deck, but I'd say about a fourth (I guess, not completely sure) of the decks coming out have a subtle back design. Again, I was exaggerating.

Well, there are a lot of decks with a subtle one-way.  Most, however, aren't.  Some are more subtle than others.  I've been considering writing a new topic on the subject, but haven't had the time just yet.  Some magicians loathe them as simple cheats, some prefer a fully-marked deck or a stripper, but others think that it's just enough of an edge without getting ridiculous.  I've used it from time to time as an "insurance policy" against totally screwing up a trick, but you have to remember to always keep the deck stored in the "ready" position with all the cards turned the correct way, or you'll end up frying yourself if you need it.
