Knuckle Tattoos

Month: August 2011

  • Hope Dies

    Ry sends us these knuckles:

    These are my knuckles, saying “Hope Dies”. It’s not as pessimistic as you’d think. I believe hope does die, but we must fight to keep it alive. We must fight to keep our hope(s) and dreams alive in our lives, and that would explain the placement for you. As for the style: I didn’t want something ordinary. Knuckles are already an odd location for tattoos, but I wanted to push it further than that and have the words in cursive rather than the plain block lettering. I wanted them crossing fingers and going in the webbing in between — which hurt like hell.

  • GOD SPEED

    Mika Lahtinen sends us his second row. He sent us SWIM SINK a few years back:

    here is the second row to my fingers
    GODSPEED for good luck, it was done couple days ago so it`t still healing

    It was done by tuppu at tatuata.

  • PROMISES

     

    Hey knuckle heads,my name is jesse and I’m from Waterbury, CT. This piece was
    done by Angel Caban of Lucky Soul Tattoo in Ansonia, CT and the meaning is
    pretty simple. Together it spells “promises” and when my hands aren’t
    together it simply means “broken promises”.  My piece leans mostly towards
    past relationships that I’ve been through and how a promise given,isn’t one
    always kept. Thanks for checkin it out! www.luckysoultattoo.com
