GAME OVER

GAME OVER

Atari Matt sent these in via the MySpaces:

I’ve been into atari 2600 and video games since I was a kid. I’m 35 now.

Been doing music using ataris for a few years now. have been fixing up and restoring arcade and pinball machines for 7-8 years. I’ve got LOTS of tattoos and always wanted my knuckles…you know how you always think up what would be cool…one day about 6 months ago it hit me!

GAME OVER…nothing more perfect for me, plus its tough too!

I’d been sweating getting them done…carreer enders and all…but a really good friend of mine that has tattooed for years and did my first tattoos just moved back to texas from Albuquerque and stayed with us for a couple of weeks…basically between him and my wife and friends I didn’t have a choice but to get them done!

The carreer ender part is also all part of a sub-concious plan. I’ve always ended up in nice desk jobs and really like the one I’m at now, but I can’t see sitting at a desk for the rest of my life. Now if this job ends I have really cut off the “office proffessional” avenue and will have to make different choices the next time around

BABY GIRL

Tiffany L. sends us these knuckles and the story below:

I got my knuckles tattooed on Aug. 28, 2007. I got “baby girl” because I had a dog that I called baby girl who was like a child to me who passed, also because my dad always calls me baby girl, and has since I was little. I got them done at Underground Artworks in Edwardsville, IL by Eric Beard.

GLAM GIRL

GLAM GIRL

Finishing our week out, here are knuckles from Miss Chaos of Miss Chaos Photography, and here is her story:

I am a photographer and make up artist from Palm Desert, CA. I was in Arcadia visiting my best friend who is also my tattoo artist and we worked on a big piece for my arm. After she finished it I brought up maybe tattooing my knuckles the next time I was down. That turned into “fuck it, let’s do ‘em now”. After throwing ideas at each other we both finally agreed on Glam Girl, because of me being a makeup artist.

The End.
