KINGLESS

Another youth getting their knuckles done. And look at those bare arms! Maybe I’m getting too old.

Hey, name’s Kirsten, 19, and I’m from Stillwater, Oklahoma.

Just done today!  My tattoo means a few different things to me.  I’m a feminist.  I’m an Atheist.  I’m an American.  That’s pretty much the gist of it.  Thanks – I dig the site!

FATALITY

Just got this set in from Cam from St Albans. They were done recently at Renaissance Tattoo in Rickmansworth by Adie. Cam’s story:

I went for Fatality, as on my 8th birthday my older brother bought me a copy of Mortal Kombat II on the Mega Drive… It was such an awesome game, and still is! I completely blame my brother for exposing such a young’un to an 18 rated game, to the extent that I believe it was the first trigger that set me up to become alternative in my later life. So thanks Punk… This one is for you. FINISH HIM.

SHREDDER

I met Drew at Domy Books here in Austin the other day. When I asked him if he skated he answered “No, I got SHREDDER when I was playing guitar in Thumbscrew.” He also wanted to note that the green was a nod to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and their nemesis, Shredder.

ABNORMAL

Seb sends us these fresh knuckle tattoos and the following story:

I finally got my knuckle tattoo 2 days ago and I had to submit it to your site, since your site was a good inspiration for mine!
After about a month and a half of thinking about what I wanted to get done on my knuckle I still couldn’t decide.. so I just abandonned the project.
I wanted something that represented my authenticity, my strangeness, my way of embracing ridicule and fucking opinions. Finally 3 days after losing all hope
for the tattoo I saw this word and I knew that it was what I wanted!

As for the semi double decker I have below, I got the 4 card types and inversed the colors. It means that not everything in life is always the way it should be, but different isn’t bad :)

HOMESICK

Ian sends these knuckles in:

I decided to get homesick tattooed on my knuckles simply because I had a really hard time growing up and never hard your stereotypical “HOME” life.
It has NOTHING to do with the album of the same name by the band A DAY TO REMEMBER even though I do love that band haha.

Pac Man

Oh my God. Every once in a while something comes along that just reminds you of how great what you are doing is. This is a pure and perfect example. Jared P. sends us these knuckles and reminds us how important it is to keep this site going. Thank you so much for sending them in. Here is his story:

These are loved by everyone who sees em. I got em 3 years ago, and they need to be redone. I was told that the color would be hard to keep. I went with the pixelated Ms. PacMan on my ring finger so we could get married ♡!
The heart is from the end of Act 1 on Ms. Pacman when she meets Pacman and finds the heart…. thats why Pacman is on my index finger facing the heart. My pinky is a Pretzel also from Ms. Pacman. I went with the Pretzel instead of cherries or strawberries cause it didn’t seem to fit in with the other food Ms. Pacman eats… kinda like I don’t fit in with other people. And on my right hand are the ghosts. I have Inky, Pinky, Stinky, and Sue. One is the scared variation. For the most part everybody with Knucks tattooed is trying to say something. I couldn’t sum up what I wanted to say in 8 letters for the rest of my life… but I was ready to get my knuckles done, and didn’t want words. I guess I’m saying I love old school video games… and that I grew up in the 80’s. I wanted them to be pixelated to look original.
