Sherry W. sends us these knuckles with a story:
RISK-FATE. thats what my knuckle tattoo says. in life, we all must take risks. just waking up, sometimes, is a risk. but i also have much faith. faith that if i take those risks, in the end, i will succeed, and thats fate. so everyday we ~risk fate~
Just a little bit late for mother’s day, I find these knuckles from Pete:
These are in reference to the Merle Haggard song by the same name. A song about ridin’ freight and goin’ to jail, despite yer mother’s best intentions. ” ‘Spite all my sunday learnin’, towards the bad I kept on turnin’, ’til momma couldn’t hold me anymore.” Thanks for caring mom.
Pretty Boy Paul really likes diet Coke. No really, that’s his whole story.
Paul is the piercer at Super Chango Studio where Chago (GAME NERD) tattooed this fine set of knuckles.
I met Chago out side of the Texas Rollergirls match last week. He works at Super Chango Studio up in The Woodlands, Texas (just north of Houston). Here is what he says about his knuckle tattoos:
Well since I was a kid I always played videogames but it never was as “serious” until I was introduced to Halo, which was actually Halo 2 so to this day I have played halo almost every night.
I have no other information about this dude. But what a picture, eh?
This set belongs to ‘Morks’ a tattoo artist/graffiti writer from New Zealand. PAS is a tight graffiti duo consisting of Morks and his brother Chaos.
JohnnyThief sends us these knuckles with the full story:
Did this after my divorce,… my world was unraveling & my vision was blurry,…
We had a storm brew up, real wrath of God stuff, & it blew away all our appointments. Being a bit fried from working too much, I blew off any real work & started drawing on my left hand,… Hm, yeah, that was exactly the mood I was in,… but what to put on the right hand? As I was walking around the shop, Richie B looked up at me & just said the word ‘UGLY’. I said, ‘Man, that is cold ass shit. Let’s do it!’
I was in such a bad mood, I made him do it twice.

Got these a long time ago, and I’m just now getting them up. Sorry it took so long Robert, but here they are, with your story:
If it is art, how can it be wrong?
My first tattoo was “GAME OVER” across my knuckles.
I’ve been a gamer since roughly the age of three. Or, well, since I developed the motor skills to differentiate A, B, and a directional pad.
I’ve been saving the princess for seventeen years and, since I won’t ever be getting a “real” job with tattoos on my hands, I’ve dedicated the rest of my life to gaming and the likes.
The tattoo was done by Shawn Booth in Valdosta, Georgia. Or, as we know him as “the guy with Darth Vader tattooed on his throat.” No kidding. He has Darth Vader tattooed on his fucking throat.
He is my hero.
To the grave,
Robert Johnson

I took this photo! I met this lovely lady on her way out of the Jackalope a little over a week ago. Those are her friends waiting for her in the back ground. They were getting a little impatient, waiting to get to the next bar.
Every time I think I’ve found all the knuckle tattoos in Austin, it turns out I’m wrong.
These knuckles come to us from Tim Lind in North Carolina:
Here’s my knuckles……
Well, my girlfriend hates them….. how about that for a description?
I got them in typewriter font as a play on words….. and my life seems to be full of bad news….. That’s all I got!
Oh, and that’s a bullet on my pinky….
They were done by the King Errol at Blue Flame Tattoo in Raleigh, NC.
