I’m bug, male, 29 from Southampton, England. I wanted something different and a bit outrageous. My ex, she was totally into that sort of thing too lol. I think most people just find it funny. Reactions range from ‘YOU’RE A LEGEND’ to ‘WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DO THAT’ Another thing with the tattoos are if I stick out my two inner knuckles on each hand it says STFU (shut the fuck up). I kind of liked that too. For work I just put plasters over my left hand so it’s not a massive issue. I’m sure a lot of people will look down their noses at me…butt fuck em ;)
SOUL VICE
Soul Vice.
I’m 19 years old and I joined the navy right out of high school. The main reason I did it, despite the cliche, was to get away from a lifestyle that would’ve gotten way worse if I stayed. So i started off by getting the tear drop, to remind myself of where I was, and that’s as close to it as I ever want to get again. Then I heard the song “Soul Vice” by a band called Trapped Under Ice, and one of the lyric says “Live with the vice” and it hit me, that everyone, whether they admit it or not, has a vice in their life that either holds them back or will never go away. This was MY way of acknowledging MY vice.

absorber
Alahna Cruz sends us these knuckles and the story behind ‘em:
White ink – hence the b&w. ‘absorber’. In the last 3 years the 3 most important people in my life told me that I was born broken and with holes in me that I couldn’t fix. Also in the last 3 years, I have gotten out of a rocky relationship, got disowned by a good portion of my life & have learned how to support myself & stay healthy and responsible. This is a reminder to myself that I will find what I’m looking for & that I only need myself (and the big guy).
BARBEQUE
Sean Bardwell is all about barbecue:
Here’s a pic of my BARBEQUE knuckles. They were done by Rick Meggison at Marked4life.
I started cooking BBQ about 7 years ago. About 3 or 4 years ago I decided BBQ was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I started practicing more, writing recipes and created my own brand and logo. Check out my website SBQue.com and you can also follow me on twitter @SBbarbeQue (shameless plug, I know). I have recently taken some more steps towards making my BBQ my living. Rick is my friend and a member of our cooking team @TattoosNQue (I know, another shameless plug). We were hanging out the night before Zombie Jesus day or most commonly known as Easter. I had planned on getting this tattoo a little bit down the road. He convinced me to get it by using the zombie jesus metaphor and calling it my BBQ resurrection…and here we are!
