“These are some photos of my friend Mozza’s knuckle tattoo’s. His thumbs read ‘Dr’ and his digits read ‘Feelgood’
The story behind them is that he’s a huge Motley Crue fan, and ‘Dr. Feelgood. is his favourite song of theirs.”

AMERICAN – MMVII
The lettering is simply AMERICAN, and was done earlier today on the middle row of knuckles. I chose this because I’m a former soldier and proud American. The old school style was chosen almost at random, as it’s easy to read and still looks nice.
My first knuckle tattoo was MMVII, the Roman numeral for the year my wife and I got married (2007).
CENSORED
INFINITE
My name is Logan Bond. I got “INFINITE” across my knuckles because there are endless possibilities in life and I believe we’re responsible for where we are in life, (i.e. experience, mistakes) but in no way regret anything, because we wouldn’t be where we are now, if we hadn’t lived our past the way we did. I’m also a hairdresser, my job is in my hands, literally. My grandmother was also a hairdresser. In her memory, I feel like I’m carrying on her legacy in my career, and this is sort of a remembrance piece for her too. :)I do plan on adding more color & symbols on my thumbs. Possibly, second knucks as well later on down the road :)This tattoo was done by Jayme Collins at Old Capital Tattoo in Corydon, Indiana on 5/5/11.
KNUCKLES
Ira R. sends us a set of knuckles on his knuckles!
I’ve always wanted my knuckles tattooed. I think it’s so funny the juxtaposition of my very non-hardcore personality and the connotation that knuckle tattoos conjure. I am a writer and have been working on a story for awhile now where the main characters name is…yep you guessed it “Knuckles” PLUS knuckles is 8 letters long as well as slightly tongue and cheek…don’tcha think?

THRILLER
Hi, My name is Casy Diaz and i have wanted my knuckles tattooed for a long time, I am an artist at Horns & Tails tattoo parlor in Rochester NY. I grew up loving Michael Jackson, and Thriller is my favorite album, so when i realized it fit on my knuckles, that’s really all it took to make me do it. ME and my boss made a date to close down the shop and tattoo each others knuckles, they were done by Christine Erickson. The picture is old and the red fell out a bit, but i plan on outlining it in black next time. i do not regret this tattoo, its a great conversation piece :)
DINOSAUR
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
