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.”

Got these knuckles from Heidi Louise a little while back, here is her story:

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

I’m a total bookworm. I spend almost all my free time reading, or browsing for cool books.
And this tattoo is to show I am proud of it, and proud to be myself!

Jim Madden sends us these hands:

I know this is a cliche knuckle tattoo, but my story behind it is my uncle and one of my best friends, who was a huge influence on everything i do today, had this exact tattoo on his knuckles, and he ended up committing suicide, so its kind of ironic…this is my way of remembering him, among others
