  • BOOK WORM

    Tricia loves to read, her knuckles tell me so:

    When I was kid I actually got in trouble for reading too much.  One time when my mother grounded me, instead of taking away my toys, she took my books.  To this day, I’m rarely without some form of reading material on my person.  I couldn’t think of anything more appropriate to have emblazoned across my knuckles for the whole world to see.  I love the irony of something so badass being so incredibly nerdy.  They still need to be touched up but the sketchy typewriter print is my homage to all the hard work that had to be put in to manually type a manuscript in the past.

  • I ♥ MY LIFE

    Jake H. sends us these knuckle tattoos:

    I just made a move to Chicago, I’m super pumped and am loving every second of it. So I went to Eric Janovsky at Tatu Tattoo on North Avenue and got my knuckles done to celebrate a new step in my life.

  • FUCK YOUR FEELINGS

    When I asked Loper why he got these knuckles, he replied: “Because that is about how I feel about everyone”

  • PUFF PASS

    Johni S. says:

    I submitted my first pair of knuckles stating STAY GOLD, now the follow up is here, PUFF PASS!
    Why that you say? Just because … and also i like weed?

  • LOVE DON’T LIVE HERE

    Rubie Irene sends us these lovely knuckles:

    I got these done a few days ago (8/30/2010). I have numerous tattoos but none have really been as meaningful as these ones. I am jaded and cynical and unwelcoming. It’s all been a process. I am not saying I will never love again, but for now, it doesn’t live in my heart. I want to forget the bad things. Welcome the new. Sullen I know, but it is what it is.

    My artist really laughed his @ss off when I told him there absolutely NEEDED to be an apostrophe. I think it makes the tattoo. Says he has never done one with punctuation before.

    Done by Angel Murrietta in Pacific, WA.

  • GIVE TAKE

    Kai sends his best regards from Berlin/Germany.

    i always wanted one!i think life is always GIVE and TAKE..so i decided to get it inked on my hands!it was made in late august 2010

  • DISCIPLE

    My name is DJ and the Disciples were the students/followers of Jesus, and that is what I consider myself to be. It’s a permanent reminder of who I am, plus I wanted to get something I had never seen someone with before. Tattoo courtesy of Jeff at Vivid Skin Tattoo, York Pennsylvania.

  • BEAT DOWN

    My names Cory Schneider and I have BEAT-DOWN tattooed on my knuckles.  I got it when I joined a body-suspension team that was calling themselves BEAT (we came up with quite a few meanings for the anagram, none of which are repeatable in polite company).  I got DOWN on the other hand because I have OCD and would have hated to be unbalanced.  I always have to explain to people that it has nothing to do with fighting and all to do with my love for body modification.  I had the skeletal structure of my hands tattooed around the knuckle tattoos.

  • LOVE LOVE

     

    Pauly here is a door guy at the Nite Hawk Cinema in Brooklyn. He has nothing but love for the world, but he thinks it is high time I got my knuckles done.

  • UbeR GeeK

    The idea came about because a friend of mine would always say “Neil, you’re such a geek” so I thought…why not haha!!
