This one goes out to my pals in the Austin Facial Hair Club. Although I can not grow a beard of my own, it is important to support those who can. Lauren Ray of Pensacola, FL sends us these knuckle tattoos:

i got this tattoo because well, i LOVE beards. Everyone knows it, so i decided to truly show how much i do by getting it tattooed on my knuckles. The thumbs were a last minute idea and i love them. Tattoo courtesy of 3 Saints Tattoos, Pensacola, FL.

What can I say. These are some awesome knuckle tattoos, courtesy of Dave Temby:

My name is bleach, I am a tattoo artist at saint sabrinas in minneapolis. I am borderlined obsessive compulsive, so a friend and coworker of mine thought this would be a good idea for my knuckles. I thought it would be a good idea to mess the letters up and not have them perfectly straight. So here’s what we came up with.

718

Filed under: Knuckle Tattoos,Man Hands,One Hand,Other,Story — BillCohen @ 8:17 pm

I met Michael coming out of Penn Station right next to Madison Square
Garden
.

I first spoke to him about this tattoo for my Tattoosday blog, but as the
New York correspondent for KnuckleTattoos.com, I had to ask about his
left hand, which comes with a one-and-a-half tattoo bonus.

First the knuckles:

718 Knuckles

Nothing fancy, just the numbers seven, one and eight. New Yorkers, of
course, recognize this as the (718) area code, which is synonymous with the
outer boroughs of New York City, namely the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and
Staten Island.

Michael has these digits on his digits to symbolize that he is born and
raised in the 718, namely Queens and Brooklyn.

The tattoo was inked at Pete & Cubo’s Tattoo & Body Piercing in Queens. Their work has appeared previously on Tattoosday here.

The one and a half bonus tattoos are on and above the hand.

He has Marilyn Monroe’s eyes represented on the back of his hand to remind
him of his path to sobriety. Michael regards most photos of Monroe with a
degree of recognition – that her eyes appear hazy from drug use. Her demise
due to a drug overdose is significant enough to remind him to stay focused
on remaining clean. He has been (as of January 9, 2009) for three years and
five months.

Finally, the “half” tattoo is the bottom of the rosary, whose thread runs
the length of his forearm to just above the wrist.

Thanks to Michael for sharing his ink both here and on Tattoosday!

Religious Symbols

Johnny Trouble, head piercer at Mothership Tattoo and Piercing in Pismo Beach, CA sends us these blacklight tattoos:

I got these knuckle tattoos a few months ago. They are of some of the major religious symbols in blacklight ink, therefor completely invisible under normal light….

I got them because A) i thought it was funny and B) that way when i die i have all my bases covered…. :)
