Knuckle Tattoos

Jailyn Marie Biorn sends us today’s set of wedding bands with the following story:

The lock and key knuckles are my fiance’ and mine. We each have a set. We both have a key on our left ring fingers and locks on our right ring fingers. We got them as Christmas presents to each other last year. We’re from Kennewick, WA… We got them done at Asylum Tattoo in Pasco Washington, by Jesse.

Jailyn also sent this photo of her and her mom:

The “crosses” with the “sos” are my mom and my tattoos. The “sos” means “Survivors of Suicide” because we both have survived it. And we got them also in memory of my uncle (my mom’s brother)… He committed suicide 5 years ago, January 3. It means a lot to us to spread the word that there are other options!

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…

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.

This great sentiment just came in:

My name is Nikki Lynn and these were done by Mark @ Exotic Ink in Conyers, GA.

The story behind them is 2 years ago when I was at a concert at Six Flags, there was a booth selling merchandise with “free hugs” on it. I bought a hat and t-shirt from them and wore them around the concert along with a few other people. There were tons of people that kept running up to me asking for hugs and it was so exciting. I still have that hat and shirt and occasionally wear them because I love getting hugs! I figured that if someone else was having a bad day, they could always use a hug, too. So I decided to get “free hugs” tattooed on my knuckles as a kind of permanent symbol since I can’t always wear my hat or shirt. :)

Samantha L. sends us these knuckle tattoos with the story as follows:

Attached are pictures of my tattoos on my thumbs, they’re a Bass Clef and a Treble Clef. I got them because music is my life and im going to music school. It was done at Homeward Bound in Redwood City, CA.

Leslie sends us these crafty knuckles, here is her story:

My hands were made to make crafts.  A couple years ago, I got into knitting.  This is my tribute to the craft.
