    Don Nux shows us that sweet, sweet knuckle tattoos aren’t just for kids any more, anyone who is dedicated enough can express their passion on their hands:

    Here’s a pic of my knuckle tats. They are about 4-6 months old. The meaning (RIG4 DIVE) is to rig the ship for diving, a term heard on board a submarine while surfaced, but getting ready to go deep. Yeah, I was a submarine sailor.

  • ROCK STAR

    Markus Sell sends us these knuckles all the way from Munich, German

    The Story behind is that i already had the Stars on my left and right hand.

    They weren`t made that good and i thought about having them made over and use the star for the A in the Word STAR, and on my other Hand ROCK to build the Word ROCKSTAR.

    I was more into it when i read KAT von D`s Book cuz i liked her hands so much. Now im Happy to have it on my Knuckles.
    Lets see what my Boss is thinking about it when i see him on Monday 🙂

    Im a Male Nurse here in Munich, Germany and in charge of the Ward. 🙂

    From Costa Mesa, CA:

    My exciting story is that I wanted an AC/DC tattoo because they rule, but didn’t want their logo, so I picked one of their best songs…RIFF RAFF.  That’s it.

  • I ♥ BEARDS

    This one goes out to my pals in the Austin Facial Hair Club. Although I can not grow a beard of my own, it is important to support those who can. Lauren Ray of Pensacola, FL sends us these knuckle tattoos:

    i got this tattoo because well, i LOVE beards. Everyone knows it, so i decided to truly show how much i do by getting it tattooed on my knuckles. The thumbs were a last minute idea and i love them. Tattoo courtesy of 3 Saints Tattoos, Pensacola, FL.

    Tonight I saw Thee Oh Sees destroy the Beerland patio. I had to stand on the patio fence in order to shoot pictures. Dangerous, dangerous! 

    After the set I talked to Petey Damnit from the band and got these pictures of his knuckles. If you get a chance to catch this band live, don’t miss out.

    Don’t miss ’em, you will thank me.

    UPDATE: Here are my pictures from the show:
