These beauties were sent in by my brother. They are on the hands of his frend Emcee.

UPDATE: Emcee just sent me his story, and it is a good one:

All my life I have grown up with horror movies.  My mother was a huge fan from jump and that set me and my brother up for a fun ride. My dad always hated it but I felt it gave us both a better sense of humor and a generally more sturdy demeanor. It helped shape us into the smart little devils we are all the while giving me something to laugh at in my spare time.  So I LOVE horror movies they make me happy when nothing else can, they transport me to a place where life is meaningless, jokes are obvious, and death is “original” something I cherish in the current state of things.  That being said, the “Evil Dead” trilogy is my favorite horror movie good time series. If I got some gasoline and my boomstick life is groovy.
Dead by dawn,
emcee

Mika Lahtinen sends these knuckles in all the way from Helsinki Finland:

the story behind the knuckles is very simple, in this great world we live in you can do two things either sink or swim.

the 51 on my thumbs is the area code, of the part of helsinki that i live and work, so my life revolves around this area

tattoos were done by krisse at legacy tattoo in Helsinki, Finland

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.

Another great set of knuckles, this time from America’s hat, also known as Canada. Here is the story:

My name is James from Edmonton, Alberta Canada. SLOW FADE is a song written by a great Edmonton band called Choke (RIP). The tattoo reminds me that my dreams are in reach as long as I stay true to what I believe in. Resisting the temptations of security, and refusing to settle. “And I Trust There’s Ways To Maintain These Truths That I Know, Cause It’s All That I Know.”

Sean Fox sends us his hands and his story:

These were done by a friend, from his house.  His name is Mark LeMay in Airdrie, AB, Canada.  He’s a talented artist, and decided to divehead into tattoos.   This is the 3rd piece he’s done on me.

The letters look uneven in the photos, but they’re dead on, it was just the way I was holding my fists.

Right now they look like crap though from smashing my knuckles up all day at work [Welder/HD Mechanic]. Career killing ink, he was nervous to do it. Guess I’m a blue collar for life.

I’ll get some better pics after the touch ups. The pics I have were right after getting them done, prior to washing the excess and ink and blood off.

By the way, the reason for the words, with the way I live my life I’ve tended to stick to the motto of “better to be an open sinner than a false saint”.  I’m the only one in the family that doesn’t believe in a higher power, and I’ve always been the outcast [refer to 15+ piercings].  Being told I’m a ’sinner’ on a daily basis just brings more meaning to them.

Got these knuckles in and couldn’t wait to post them. Here is the story:

My name is Dev and I’m from Baltimore, Maryland. I was diagnosed with cancer in 2006, I went through chemo-therapy, and my cancer is currently in remission. While being treated for my cancer I realized how short life really is because I was only 26 at the time of my diagnosis. My chemo traetments were successful, giving me a second chance at life. So I decided to get the tattoo “live life” on my knuckles. I choose to get it on my knuckles so everyone could see it, because i really mean what it says. People often get tattoos in places where they can cover them up for jobs or to be accepted by certain people, but I say fuck that life is short live it to the fullest and do what you want to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These come courtesy of Danny Edmisten:

NDE is my wifes initials and 11:11 on the pinkie… She took me to the tattoo shop and we were sitting there after the artist put the temporary letters on I asked him if my wife could write something on my pinkie and he taught her how to use the gun and she tattooed the :  in 11:11…  It’s black lettering that fares up to white because my right sleeve Im working on is all B/W It’s simple but Im happy with it.
