  • HELL BENT

    Well I have been getting tattooed for 10 years and my artist said it was time to cross the line. All of my tattoos are related to devils and the evil side of life so I had to go with HELL BENT for my tattoo. It compliments my sleeves and chest piece very well.

  • STAY DOWN


    STAY DOWN has always been one of my favorite knuckle tattoo ideas. And here it is on the hands of Turk V. Dayton, Ohio:

    This is my knuckle tattoo. They need to be touched up since they are a few years old but they are mine and I love them. The story is that I was a bouncer/head of security for multiple clubs and bars for 13 years. Fighting has always been a part of my life and now I am training to fight MMA.

  • GOOD GIRL


    Hayley here got GOOD GIRL done because:

    i got my knucles tattooed to let the world know that just because i drink, and smoke and cuss like a sailor doesnt mean that im not a goodgirl.

  • FUCK LOVE


    Today’s knuckles come all the way from Santa Clara, CA, courtesy of Nicole S. When I asked her why she picked FUCK LOVE this is what she told me:

    I picked FUCK LOVE because of everything I have loved that fucked me over in return. Plus I just had a really bad breakup and was over the pain that love seems to bring me.

  • OZZY


    What can I say about Ozzy. I think he was on a reality TV show or something. But seriously, I can’t� say anything about Mr. Osbourne than has already been said elsewhere better.

    Thanks Mr. Drum Teacher for sending in this awesome picture of Ozzy’s knuckles!

  • INRI


    These knuckle tattoos come from just south of Montreal, Canada. I’ll let Ace do the story telling:

    I am a professional tattooist and owner of Ace Valiant Tattoos in Ch�teauguay, Qu�bec, Canada. I decided last year to finish my right sleeve (pretty much Christian theme) with writing on the top of my hand and my knuckles.

    Because I already have Jesus face in my inner forearm with IHS lettering underneath, John the Baptist on the top forearm, immersed in water, a dove and light, also the verses of Mathew 3:13-17 from the bible to demonstrate the fact Jesus got baptized.

    It was pretty logical to put something to fit the rest.

    On my knuckles, you can read some INRI in some old school lettering which means: Jesus of Nazareth King of Jews. I also have a little black cross over my right thumb,and some writing on the top of my hand which says: Only God can judge me.

  • LADY LUCK


    These knuckles come to us all the way from Kari in Germany:

    Maybe a little overdone, I know, but I’m seriously a lucky girl! It’s my way of remembering how blessed I am to have such wonderful people in my life and to have the opportunities to live and love that I’ve encountered. <3

  • SICK CHIC


    I went to see Social Distortion play at Stubb’s Wednesday night. Mike Ness of course put on a hell of a show, all pouting and chewing gum and rocking out. My girl was up against the front barrier and spent most of the show slapping crowd surfers in the head as they passed over her and enjoying the show. As it turns out, the gal next to her had these beautiful knuckles that read SICK CHIC.

    We caught up with Audra after the show, while waiting in line to shake Mr. Ness’ hand. She said that the story was Mike Ness. He inspired the tattoos, and this was actually her first time seeing him perform in person. Audra works at the Firing Line tattoo shop in Tyler, Texas.

    Mr. Ness himself declined having his knuckle tattoos photographed. He was tired after a long show. Hopefully one day, right? Until then I’ve still got the deviant art photo of his knuckles.

  • PAID DUES


    Brawlin Bo’ here is a 10 year veteran of professional wrestling as a part of the National Wrestling Alliance and on the Alternative Wrestling Show. Y’all this is pro-wrestling like it was meant to be. Characters with schticks. Beat downs. Real guys I can relate too fighting it out. I don’t know where it all went wrong. But these guys are putting on a show for real. Bo has this to tell us about his knuckle tattoos:

    I have been a pro wrestler for about 10 years now , and it’s a tuff business to be in and a lot of people gotta “pay their dues” so to speak. I have for sure done so, and wanted all the other wrestlers to make sure they recognize =]. Plus I did 2 years in the pin for some bullshit back in the day so I figured I would get that for both reasons…

    Nothing but respect Bo’. Keep it going strong. A video for the viewing, after the cut.

  • GIVE TAKE


    In Keith’s own words:

    This is a knuckle tattoo I just recently got. I got it because I wanted my tattoo to have some meaning to it yet sound cool. Give and take is how life works and you can relate the tattoo to a lot of stuff. You give your time for work and you take money. You give your money to a store and you take your TV. It reminds me of the sacrifice you have to put in to get a gain, with everything really.
