Heart and Key

Filed under: Knuckle Tattoos, Lady Fingers, Other, Story — Nathan Black @ 10:58 am

I’m going to be posting all the wedding band knuckle tattoos I’ve got this week. Here’s one from Kelsey W.:

As cliche as a key and heart may be…
it’s our own wedding band…
our own way of saying “I do.”

Hey everybody, this is Melissa from Long Beach, California. This is her tale:

The LBC (long beach cunts!) represents where I grew up. Just a reminder to me and everyone..where ever I’m at Long beach will always be home!!!

To all those dumb fucks, the “C” does not stand for California…

bukowski

These are super rad. Can you beat these knuckles? In the words written on Bukowski’s tombstone “Don’t Try” Lilli Itkonen sends us her awesome hands:

Bukowski is the man, legendary and just like my father. Maybe it also tells something about my attitudes.

Joshua Elowsky sends these knuckles in:

My buddy Sonju Rattler did these. I was born and raised in the South, not too far from Sherman’s ashes.

HAND MADE

Filed under: 4x4, 8 Across, Knuckle Tattoos, Man Hands, Story — Nathan Black @ 7:24 am

Just got this update from Richard Baggett. I had taken his picture at the Lonestar Round Up and he wanted to add his story to his knuckles:

I’m an Artist Blacksmith in Fort Worth,Texas.
I’ve allways worked with my hands. A skill I thank my grandfathers for. Working with metal has always been my favorite medium. Several years ago a great guy introduced me to Blacksmithing.
Now I build hand forged sculptures. Hence the tattoo “HAND MADE”.

YOYO LIFE

Filed under: 4x4, Knuckle Tattoos, Man Hands, Story — Nathan Black @ 7:18 am

Here is a set of knuckles about life’s ups and downs. But don’t take my word for it. Here is what John Huber has to say about them:

My name is John Huber, and I’m a professional yo-yo player out of Seattle, Washington.  I’ve been playing with yo-yos for going on 8 years now, have won a couple of contests, and even managed to land a clothing sponsorship.  Yo-yos aren’t just a toy to someone like me.  It’s an art form.  It’s how I meditate.  It’s what I was put here to do.

If you want to see a couple of my videos, you can find them on my MySpace page.

And for the record, if it wasn’t for me watching Tommy Smothers when I was a kid, I don’t think I would’ve picked up a yo-yo when I got older.  The Yo-Yo Man made it look like it was the cool thing to do.
