Oh my God. Every once in a while something comes along that just reminds you of how great what you are doing is. This is a pure and perfect example. Jared P. sends us these knuckles and reminds us how important it is to keep this site going. Thank you so much for sending them in. Here is his story:

These are loved by everyone who sees em. I got em 3 years ago, and they need to be redone. I was told that the color would be hard to keep. I went with the pixelated Ms. PacMan on my ring finger so we could get married ♡!
The heart is from the end of Act 1 on Ms. Pacman when she meets Pacman and finds the heart…. thats why Pacman is on my index finger facing the heart. My pinky is a Pretzel also from Ms. Pacman. I went with the Pretzel instead of cherries or strawberries cause it didn’t seem to fit in with the other food Ms. Pacman eats… kinda like I don’t fit in with other people. And on my right hand are the ghosts. I have Inky, Pinky, Stinky, and Sue. One is the scared variation. For the most part everybody with Knucks tattooed is trying to say something. I couldn’t sum up what I wanted to say in 8 letters for the rest of my life… but I was ready to get my knuckles done, and didn’t want words. I guess I’m saying I love old school video games… and that I grew up in the 80′s. I wanted them to be pixelated to look original.

Hey all,

I recently ended up at Your Mom’s Burger Bar in East Austin. Aside from the awesome food, there were two great sets of knuckle tattoos. First up, we have Philip’s knuckles.

They are all things he likes. On the left: Snow cones, spray paint, pizza, PBR, and on the right, traditional symbols.

Next up we have Mike, with PEEK ABOO:

I’ll let him tell his story:

I attended the Star of Texas Tattoo Convention and took a whole bunch of photos of knuckle tattoos!

Check them out:

I stopped by Studio Enigma in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, which opened up last summer as Gotham City Tattoo, just to introduce myself and promote my blog, Tattoosday.

I was chatting with Bill Blood, one of the artists, and noticed he had some cool knuckle lettering.

After telling him about the site, he agreed to share his ink here:

The letters, of course, spell out the word “LOBOTOMY,” the first time I have seen that combination on knuckles. The effect is enhanced by the Gothic font, which is similar to the lettering in the Misfits logo.

Bill started “scratching” back in 1998, and has been professionally tattooing for about seven years.

Why “lobotomy”?

He likes the word, the way it sounds, the way it looks, the way it reads. He once played guitar in a band called “Chainsaw Lobotomy,” although Bill says that the coincidence with the ink ends there.

In all honesty, this piece represents how creativity can really transform knuckle tattoos into something memorable. The fact that his friend Jason inked these in such a cool font, reminiscent of the horror genre, and used a blend of yellow and green ink to make the knuckles “pop,” shows that Bill put some serious thought into these digits.

Thanks to Bill for sharing these cool knuckle tattoos!

I met these two at Staple, Austin’s independant comic and media conference last week. They both work with busygamer.com providing time senitive game reviews about how much fun they are per gaming dollar…

Elizabeth sends us these knuckle tattoos, showing just how hard core she is, sorta:

I was watching SNATCH one day and said to myself how I loved the british gangsters in that movie…then it hit me that it would look good on my knuckles. Simple story. It is such a popular term in pop culture, but I really didn’t mean it like “oh I’m gangsta”…it was really about actual dim witted gangsters that can’t do anything right. Similar to myself…lol

Allen Carlson sends use these knuckle tattoos:

i got them after i moved out and realized alot about who my friends are and how much my family means to be..
and you really have to be devoted to what you love and do and who your friend and family are and my religious beliefs had a part to do it with..
plus i wanted to get something different that i had never seen someone with before
