LIVE LIFE

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

POET

This hand was sent in by Sofija, with a simple statement of intent:

My story is simple, I am a poet and what better to put on my knuckles than who I am?

I’ve yet to get anything on the left hand but plan on adding a couple more things to the right to adorn it some more.

FIJN DAME

I’ll just let Nikki tell the story:

These tats hail from the hands of Nikki in Roanoke, VA.  They read “FIJN DAME,”  which means “Fine Lady” or “Beautiful Lady” in Dutch.  This is not a vain statement being that the words describe my soul and not the exterior.

dies irae

dies irae

Pjotr K. of Finland sends us the story of his knuckles:

The translation of “dies Irae” is “day of wrath“.
It’s the first words of an 13th century latin hymn that desrcribes the judgement day.

I’ve always found the “dies irae”-poem inspirational and fascinating.

And i think that it makes a powerful tattoo with meaning in it.

The picture is taken just few minutes after it  was made  and the red parts of it are’nt really red, they’re just swollen.

Now  i’ve had it for something like a year and a half and it needs some re-colouring and little fixing.

I LUV TOYS

I LUV TOYS

Ash sends us these knuckles with this story:

So most people like to ask me, “what kind of toys” hoping I will say sex toys. Very wrong my fine feathered friend. I am all about vinyl toy collecting and art! That pretty much sums up this knuckle tatt.

STFU NOOB

STFU NOOB

These knuckles come all the way from Azeroth, I don’t know what to tell you that could prepare you more:

I got “STFU NOOB” because I am a huge gamer. I mostly play World of Warcraft and “noob” basically comes from the word “new”.
it implies that you are inexperienced,ignorant,an idiot, somebody who is clueless and basically sucks. I think we all know what “STFU” means, which is shut the f*ck up. I love the knuckle tattoos because now when I am out and about and somebody is driving me mad, I have no need for actual words when my hands say it all.

So, what server do you play on anyways?
