These knuckles come courtesy of Tiina K. of Finland. Here is her story:

I had dreamed about knuckletattoos for quite long, but I had so many options and didn’t really know which one to choose. Suddendly my depression got a bit worse and I went through a difficult process with getting to know myself. I’ve always been a social and loud girl, and talked alot. Yet I noticed a change in me, I had become very shy. I took words “Live loud” to remind me of being proud and brave, and leaving behind that quiet mouse I was. I chose this font cos I’m a huge fan of oldschool tattoos and especially sailor tattoos. That’s why I chose anchors for my thumbs also.

Jessica from Virginia sends us these knuckle tattoos:

i had always wanted my knuckles done since i started getting tattoos…i figured now that i work as a piercer in a tattoo shop now would be the best time to get them

i wanted love then lust just seemed to be the perfect opposite i guess

Ross Lapin sends us his knuckles with his story:

This tat confuses a lot of people because its 3 words, “NOT MY OWN” its pretty funny when people try to pronounce it as one word.

I was a little worried about a knuckle tat cause of job limitations, but whatever.

The significance is 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 it says “19:Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20:you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.”

I got WORM FOOD on my knuckles because..well thats what we are when we die? Yeah. It’s cute. Im really into zombies, and horror movies. Im a tattoo artist at Atomic Tattoos in New Port Richey, FL. My manager Tommy did them for me. If youve seen the cover of prick magazine a couple months ago featuring “Fat Von D“…that’s him. :)

Nick at Old Town Tatu in Chicago sends us his knuckles. The were inked by Tony at Old Town. When I asked him why he got them, his answer was:

I am the owner of the studio  and as for the got ink ?  we use it on t-shirts  so I thought it would be a great idea to do my knuckles with it
