HARD HEAD

Jared H. sends us these knuckles and his story:

Here are my knuckles. Pretty much my tattoos are pretty meaningless for the most part so I decided I wanted something that had a meaning behind it. So I began thinking what would be cool for my knuckles that people would ask about and make me remember something good? My grandfather “Pop” always said I was a “Hard Head” and often called me that instead of my name. So I figured why not get it tattooed to in a way always remember my Pop.

I drew up the letters and had my artist “PJ” from Art With A Pulse Tattoos in Glen Burnie, MD tattoo my knuckles.

STAY CALM

Aaron sends us these knuckles with the following story:

Since childhood, many horrific moments came to help shape who I am. Suffering mental abuse, physical abuse and rape at an early age set the standards for my path of self-destruction. Fighting and run-ins with authority figures. Battles with depression, self-loathing and alcohol abuse came to define who I was. My young son was diagnosed with a rare cancer at age two and received a bone marrow transplant. Diagnosed with severe anxiety and panic disorders were the outcome. No more. I refuse to be a victim because I shall never admit defeat. My knuckles remind me to STAY CALM in whatever may be thrown my way and to act with compassion and patience. Believe in the power of Positive Mental Attitude. It just might help you save your life.

INFINITE

My name is Logan Bond. I got “INFINITE” across my knuckles because there are endless possibilities in life and I believe we’re responsible for where we are in life, (i.e. experience, mistakes) but in no way regret anything, because we wouldn’t be where we are now, if we hadn’t lived our past the way we did. I’m also a hairdresser, my job is in my hands, literally. My grandmother was also a hairdresser. In her memory, I feel like I’m carrying on her legacy in my career, and this is sort of a remembrance piece for her too. :)
I do plan on adding more color & symbols on my thumbs. Possibly, second knucks as well later on down the road :)
This tattoo was done by Jayme Collins at Old Capital Tattoo in Corydon, Indiana on 5/5/11.

HALF FULL

Dallas Gobble sends these knuckles in:

I’ve seen these words on knuckles before but it just fit who I wanted to be. I was always a negative “HALF EMPTY” type of person. I was an alcoholic with nothing going for me. I met a girl (my wife now) who always told me to stop being so negative. So, to help me remember to think positive and to always think of the better outcomes that could happen, I got HALF FULL on my knuckles. Now no matter what happens I just think “hey, the glass is always HALF FULL”. Life has been better ever since.

RISE FALL

Luke Jones sends us this set of knuckle tattoos and the story:

The meaning to me is that as an individual we always ‘rise’ and ‘fall’, life’s full of up and downs. It reminds me not to think of the downs, and not to concentrate too much on the future, just enjoy life as it comes.

KATE MOSS

Steven Garret sends us these fabulous knuckle tattoos and his story:

I picked ‘KATE MOSS’ to get on my knuckles because I couldn’t think of anything that lots of people didn’t already have. I didn’t want ‘GAME OVER’ or ‘LOVE HATE’ or any of that stuff and being the dedicated gay-fan of Kate Moss that I am I went with her name. I think she is classic and a lot of her choices in life have been seen as bad, so I thought it was the perfect name to get on my knuckles.

BODY SOUL

Hello, my name is Natasha. I chose ‘Body’ and ‘Soul’ because I have always struggled with allowing the two to become one. It’s a reminder to me everyday that that is what I am working toward; one day, I will be able to give someone my ‘Body’ and my ‘Soul’.

KNUCKLES

Ira R. sends us a set of knuckles on his knuckles!

I’ve always wanted my knuckles tattooed. I think it’s so funny the juxtaposition of my very non-hardcore personality and the connotation that knuckle tattoos conjure. I am a writer and have been working on a story for awhile now where the main characters name is…yep you guessed it “Knuckles” PLUS knuckles is 8 letters long as well as slightly tongue and cheek…don’tcha think?
