My Story . . .
Pretty Simple, I have seen the whole “love” and “hate” across the knuckles all my life, i wanted to stay true to the whole good verses evil / love verses hate scheme . . . Lust is a word i associate with Love blindly . . . Rage is what i feel in my heart for the things i truly Hate . . . LUST and RAGE, 2 of my worst enemies . . .

“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.”
Hi, I’m Jason from Australia, here is a picture of my new knuckle tattoos, they were done by Shannon from thinkin ink tattoo studio, from Shepparton, Victoria, I have been thinking of getting give and take for a long time now, I chose give and take because life’s all about give and take.

I just had my knuckles tattooed, ART’S DEAD. I’m an artist, and decided I would go for irony. In a way I believe that art is, indeed, dying. Tattoos are my way of always making sure that art will not dissapear, as long I can have it put into my skin. Tattoo was done by Kyle Speraw at Altered Image Tattoo and Body Piercing.
Jared H. sends us these knuckles and his story:
Here are my knuckles. Pretty much my tattoos are pretty meaningless for the most part so I decided I wanted something that had a meaning behind it. So I began thinking what would be cool for my knuckles that people would ask about and make me remember something good? My grandfather “Pop” always said I was a “Hard Head” and often called me that instead of my name. So I figured why not get it tattooed to in a way always remember my Pop.
I drew up the letters and had my artist “PJ” from Art With A Pulse Tattoos in Glen Burnie, MD tattoo my knuckles.
Aaron sends us these knuckles with the following story:
Since childhood, many horrific moments came to help shape who I am. Suffering mental abuse, physical abuse and rape at an early age set the standards for my path of self-destruction. Fighting and run-ins with authority figures. Battles with depression, self-loathing and alcohol abuse came to define who I was. My young son was diagnosed with a rare cancer at age two and received a bone marrow transplant. Diagnosed with severe anxiety and panic disorders were the outcome. No more. I refuse to be a victim because I shall never admit defeat. My knuckles remind me to STAY CALM in whatever may be thrown my way and to act with compassion and patience. Believe in the power of Positive Mental Attitude. It just might help you save your life.
Hi my name is Chris, I got this because I love life to the fullest and it reminds me to take nothing for granted.
