HUMILITY
Peter Eichhorn sent these knuckles in:
Just got these done, 8 across “HUMILITY” I got this to remind me to stay humble, its a key trait in recovery. I got it in an old Celtic font because every one else has the same style font.

Create Destroy
I met Carrie in line for the extras casting for Machete Kills. I was super stoked to see a set of knuckle tattoos in kanji. She says that the knuckles mean CREATE and DESTROY in Japanese. Carrie also said that she has received some very negative reactions from more traditional Japanese people, but that she still loves them.

INSTINCT
My name’s Alexandre Hu, I’m 20 years old and from New York City.
The reason why I got “INSTINCT” tattooed on my knuckle is because InstinctNYC.COM is my clothing company and I’m dedicating and giving it my all 100% to make sure my dreams come true as a designer.
My clothing brand is a part of me and a lifestyle for me everyday.

LOVE MORE
My name is Lindey! I’m from Massachusetts; I got LOVE MORE on my knuckles as a representation that I truly believe people need to love more. I grew up being a very loving child and I’ve always had a big heart. I’ve been thinking about this tattoo for a few years, and the placement felt perfect to me. I think if society really showed love to the people they really care about it would make a big difference in their lives and the person(s) they love! I’ve seen a lot of love and a lot of heart break and I have it burned into my brain that people will get by easier and live life better if they just love more. No matter who you are, love is the greatest feeling to be felt. I got this done from DOUG as Eternal Images in Milford, MA

CATS MEOW
Leesa G. sends us these lovely … knuckles and her story:
My knuckles were done by Joe Reno at Shogun Tattoo in Pasadena, CA.
There were a few reason’s I chose “Cat’s Meow”:
1. My husband’s knuckles say “Real Gone” so I wanted a phrase that was also kind of beatnick slang.
2. I work with animals for a living.
3. I wanted something that was really positive and upbeat. I believe we can draw either negative or positive experiences and energies to us, and I prefer to give and get positive energy.I’m the lead singer for a SoCal punk band called The Creamers. The band likes my tattoo and the uhm, “boob pic” so much that we’re calling our 2012 release “Cat’s Meow” and putting this pic on the cover.
