  • Food, Passions, and Symbols

    I recently ended up at Your Mom’s Burger Bar in East Austin. Aside from the awesome food, there are knuckle tattoos. First up, we have Philip’s knuckles.

    They are all things he likes. On the left: Snow cones, spray paint, pizza, PBR, and on the right, traditional symbols.

  • Star of Texas Tattoo Convention 2010

  • GANGSTER

    Elizabeth sends us these knuckle tattoos, showing just how hard core she is, sorta:

    I was watching SNATCH one day and said to myself how I loved the british gangsters in that movie…then it hit me that it would look good on my knuckles. Simple story. It is such a popular term in pop culture, but I really didn’t mean it like “oh I’m gangsta”…it was really about actual dim witted gangsters that can’t do anything right. Similar to myself…lol

  • DEVOTION

    Allen Carlson sends use these knuckle tattoos:

    i got them after i moved out and realized alot about who my friends are and how much my family means to be..
    and you really have to be devoted to what you love and do and who your friend and family are and my religious beliefs had a part to do it with..
    plus i wanted to get something different that i had never seen someone with before
     

  • HOPELESS – ROMANTIC

    Kalina  sends us these awesome double deckers:

    I had been wanting to get something on my knuckles for some time now, but never really knew what to get. So I began thinking of things I would want. I also knew I wanted to get a Hopeless Romantic tattoo on me somewhere, because that is pretty much me in a nutshell. Honestly I am pretty sure The Notebook is my favorite movie…. I was so excited when I realize that it would fit perfectly on my knuckles, So I found the font I wanted and put a skull with a bow in with the Hopeless and a heart with crossbones in with the romantic. Kinda ties it all in together and if you just look at that finger, I like to think it says toxic love….

  • MEMORIES

    These Knuckel tattoos come from Anthony Eye in Milford, CT. 

    these are my knuckle tattoos. they were done by my boss CHRISTIAN HARRISON @ ATLANTIS BODY ARTS in milford, ct. the story behind my knuckles is that at the end of the day when i get home i got two things in this life that ain’t never leaving me. My tattoos and my ‘memories’.

  • HARD CORE

    Richard Blackman of Shud Up ‘n’ Train in Dallas, Texas sends us these knuckle tattoos and his story:

    The story behind it is that I’m a fitness trainer and everything I do goes against the grain, from diet to how I exercise, it’s the same in life too, I don’t do it on purpose life just ends up that way, so all my life I’ve had people look at me as extreme especially when they see my feats of strength, well, I struggled to accept that label in the beginning but now I’m taking it and running with it with all I got and I’m not going to hold myself back anymore from being me!….so I’m stepping up my game in everything I do and going “HARDCORE” and I had the tatts done as a constant reminder of what and who I am.

  • BOOKWORM

    Kirsten from The Netherlands sends us these tattoos and the following story:

    I’m a total bookworm. I spend almost all my free time reading, or browsing for cool books.
    And this tattoo is to show I am proud of it, and proud to be myself!
