  • CREATIVE

    My name is Toby Prosser and I’m an apprentice tattoo artist at Sublime Tattoo in Grafton NSW Australia. I also make coffee for Gloria jeans and I’m big on latte art so I guess you could say I always try to be creative 🙂

  • LIVE LOVE

    Laurel Wolfe sends us these knuckles:

    I have two philosophies in life: To Live & To Love. I also believe we should live to love. Thus my knuckle tats. I have never regretted my word choice; if given another chance I would choose the same words again. I adore the message they give to those who see them.

  • LOVE LOYALTY

  • EVIL DEAD

    Paul Lynch of Halifax, England sends us these lovelies and his story to follow:

    Just thought id just send in my New Tattoo. Speakes for its self really with what it is but the reason i got it is obviously i love films, but more so evil dead is like a childhood memory. i saw the side of The VHS at my aunties house when i was about 8 an straight away the font of the title drew me in, i took it out an saw the front cover an straight away thought “Woah i gotta see this!”, i know 8 years old is a bit young to be lendin your nephew 18 rated horror movies but shes a cool auntie like that! so yeah, thats the reason. its was the first film that really fuckin grabbed my balls! (my small balls at that time 🙂 and really made me get into films. Cheers.

  • FAST LIFE

    James Brown sends us this set of knuckle tattoos and the story behind them:

    About a year ago i had a house with some friends in tulsa where we partied our ass’s off and did some pretty crazy stuff things that i shouldn’t say but i can say we were just doin what people our age do..music,drugs,and rockin roll.. ha i guess well i had a job and was welding makin really good money so i had the money to party like a rockstar and screw like a pornstar so i thought i was livin the fast life and i love famous stars and strapes so i thought i would get this tattoo to show the world how i live on my fingers so everyone could see it every where i went..! A friend of mine did it for free because i bring people to him to get tatoos all the time so he hooked me up with it.!! I have got it re-done three(3) times since then., the i was supossed to have a diamond at the top for the dot..he put a diamond shape and not the real diamond picture..but other than that i really like my tattoo…after i got it i also learned that the rapper paul wall has the same tattoo but his is a little different..and actually has a diamond for the i..!! well thank you for checkin out my tattoo people..!! im out..later.!!

  • STAY CALM

    Darlene sends us these bruisers:

    So I learned to accept the fact that, like my mother says, i have a bad temper..so next time i debate on getting in drunken bar brawl or wanting to punch a broad for giving me catty looks i’ll try n take a look at my knuckles before acting on that! haha


  • BORN FREE

    Tony Landry sends us these wise words:

    When I was in jail you see people coming in and leaving almost every day. After months just sitting and waiting for a court date you start to ask yourself, “When am I going to be free?”. I asked a guard that one day, he told me this, “You are only born free.” There it was, the words that have stuck with me forever. I’m from New Orleans, La, but I got these in Mission Beach, Ca near where I was detained. The “R” in “BORN” is blown out, but noone notices it. Name’s Tony. Remember these words.

     

  • TAKE THAT

    “Yo, B here…after killing a burrito post ink work with my artist.
    slid the plate back and randomly said “take that, burrito”. been
    considering knucks for a while but that sealed the deal.”

  • HARM NONE

    When I asked Tiffany Hemsell why she got HARM NONE, this is what she said:

    I thought for a long time about what to put on my knuckles and then it just came to me one day that I should do something for my religion (I’m wiccan) And so I got harm none, its from the Wiccan Rede.

  • SLUG BAIT
