PLEASE NOTE: The four dots visible are reflections of the light. At the top, there are two Velcro stickers.

The Six of Clubs features a person with a large mohawk painted in deep purples and pinks. They have dramatic face makeup, spiky designs. running up their body, and the phrase "CHECK 1..." running up their right thigh, a mic check. The design is very reminiscent of 80s rock and punk band styles.

"The Deck of Cards was conceived by Assouline, who were inspired by MAC Cosmetics' irreverent imaging and makeup artistry. Working with the MAC Creative Team, the idea grew as some of the world's most renowned designers, musicians and artists created unique body designs that became this provocative deck of playing cards. The response was phenomenal. All of the designs submitted were not only original and creative but reflected the individual personalities of the well-known participants." Released as a deck of standard-size playing cards and later as a book collection of the images, portions of proceeds from sales benefited the MAC Aids Fund.
