Hey y’all,

Sorry I haven’t been as good with the updates here lately. I’ll be getting back on that in mid October. Right now my big news is that I am on a month long tour of the US thanks to the jetBlue all-you-can-jet pass. I’ve been getting a city stamp with the airport code for each city I’ve been in tattooed on my arm. I have also been talking to a bunch of people about their knuckle tattoos. I’ll be posting those when I get back and sort out my pictures.

My next stop is New York City. If y’all have any suggestions on who to see for my tattoo there, or whose knuckle tattoos I should track down, let me know at nathan@knuckletattoos.com

Oh, and check out my trip blog if you are interested: 30 Days in the Air

See you in NYC,

Nathan Black

Hello gentle readers!

I have some great news for you! Knuckletattoo.com is proud to present our T-Shirts! We have two styles to choose from, both designed by the awesome and talented Nik Scarlett:

The banner shirt:

And the DIY Kit:

Head on over to the Merch page to place your pre-orders. I’ll give it a week week or so and then put in the order for shirts. They should ship out the week after that. I hope you are as stoked as I am!

Hey loyal readers!

I’ve just got a few opportunities for y’all to be on TV that I thought I’d pass along.

I was contacted by the good folks over at G4 TV’s Attack of the Show and they are looking for people with comic book tattoos that are going to Comic Con 08 in San Diego. They want to feature you on a segment. If you get in, make sure you give a shout out to yer friend Nathan Black at KnuckleTattoos.com. I found this awesome Hulk at the Alamo City Tattoo Expo this last weekend. He’d be perfect for the show. If he was already going to Comic Con of course.

I’ll have a ton of knuckles from that Alamo City Tattoo show up later in the week, and maybe a few more surprises on top of that.

The other chance to hit the big time: LA Ink is looking for people to get tattooed on their show. Maybe that’s how I’ll finally get my knuckles done. I think I finally have figured out what I want it to read. If you get on that show, you have to tell Kat to return my myspace messages. I want to get her knuckles up on this site and hear all about them. I guess I could have asked Corey Miller, since he was also at the Alamo City Tattoo Expo, but he was always tattooing when I walked by.

Just click the banner to get the information on the LA Ink casting call:

PS – Did I just jump the shark? There wasn’t a single finger in that post. Except for the Hulk’s big meaty fist. Oh well.

Hello to all the new folk from BoingBoing and Fark!

I usually update Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. So come back, there’s always more knuckle tattoos to be found. Of course we also have an rss feed for easy subscription or if you want we’ll deliver knuckles directly via email with the handy form on the left there.

Thanks for dropping by!

Hey true believers!

I posted the 100th set of knuckles last week. I couldn’t be more excited! I’ve put together a little something to celebrate:

Get your own knuckles at the knuckle tattoo gun.

It is a virtual knuckle tattoo gun, just type in what you want on your knuckles and have them delivered piping hot and ready to post.Thanks to everyone who has helped me reach this goal, but especially all the great people who have sent in their knuckles for the site. When I started the project I was completely fascinated by the idea of knuckle tattoos. The more I’ve talked to the people behind them, the more I’ve come to realize that the interesting part is the people behind the knuckles. I’ve got a ton more stories in the wings, and I will be posting as I have time.

Hey y’all!

I just wanted to say:

If you feel like spreading the love, throw this code around:

Sorry for the lack of updates in the last week or so. I just moved in with my lady friend, and I’m still working on finding my computer and a wall plug. It will be a bit longer before I’m rocking the site again. But rest assured I’ve got some good ones on the way. Thanks to everyone who is sending in your pictures and stories, the will be up as I get the time together.

Thanks,

Nathan!
