  • 328 RJB

    Todd Myers says:

    I got these done to honor my nephew who died on 1/5/2012.  He was a police officer, so I got his badge number 328 on my right hand, RJB are his initials on my left hand.  The tattoo was done the day after his funeral 1/9/2012.

  • SOPA PIPA

    The knuckletattoos.com website will be on strike against SOPA and PIPA on January 18th, 2012.

    I personally feel very strongly about freedom of expression. Part of the reason that I don’t ever edit the stories on the site is that I believe strongly not only in people’s self expression, but in the free form of that expression. Knuckle tattoos are someone’s eight letter statement to the world. Their story should be expressed in the words of the person behind them.

    Help us fight against internet censorship. Call your congress person and express your commitment to the free expression of ideas, as protected by the constitution. For more tools and information visit: sopastrike.com.

    Thanks for your support,

    All knuckle tattoos, all the time.

    PS – I might have to make an exception if someone sends me an actual set of knuckle tattoos that read SOPA PIPA.

  • FOTOGRAF

    Markus Hartel sent us these knuckle tattoos, and his story behind them a ways back:

    I’m a street photographer in NYC and recently decided to get a FOTOGRAF knuckle tattoo. yeah, it reads “photographer” in German, my country of origin. it also is my first tattoo, and I feel pretty good about it – holding a camera with it just looks badass!

  • RAGE LOVE

    I met Sean outside of one of my favorite coffee shops in Austin. When I asked him about his knuckles this is what he had to say about them.

    I got RAGE on right hand. My punching hand. LOVE is on my right, my guitar hand.

    I didn’t want the typical love/hate so I went with rage instead. I don’t hate a lot of things but I sure did get angry a lot when I got the knuckles done.

  • OVERCOME – EACH FALL

    Jerricka sends us these double deckers:

    Soooo im a 19 year old female whose been thru a lot in life. Everytime i fall in life i get bak up on my feet and move forward. As simple as that…”OVERCOME EACH FALL”

  • SOLITARY

    Gary H. sends us these knuckles:

    This tattoo says it all. I love to live a SOLITARY life. It’s in my nature. I don’t need others to make me whole. The knuckles are a work in progress. They still need some fine tuning.

  • LEFT

    My name is Christie and I had “LEFT” tattooed on my hand so I wouldn’t forget.

  • SELF MADE

    Andy Garcia sends us his fresh ink:

    I got it in blacklight ink because I didn’t want to effect my opportunities with employment.  I choose self made because I am responsible for who I created myself into. Physically w all the ink I have and also mentally to how I view things

  • JUST READ

    Savannah Watson sends us this set of knuckles and the story behind them:

    i’ve been an avid, nay, OBSESSED reader since my mother taught me at the age of 4. by the time i was in 3rd grade, i was reading at a high-school level, and by the time i was in 6th grade, i was reading at an undergraduate level. reading is my life, i cant think of anything or anyway i’d rather spend my time. out of all my tattoos, my knuckles are hands down (no pun intended), by far and away, my favorite. i also LOVE the fact that i have yet to meet anyone who doesn’t like them, including people who don’t like tattoos at all.

    interesting side note, and i hadn’t even realized this until 2 days after i got them, if i hold my hands the other way, they read “readjust”… and as a stress-filled person, i’m constantly needing to readjust my perspective.

  • SANDWICH

    Hey guys!
    So I have wanted knuckle tattoos for a long time now, and I had my mind set on what I wanted. 1BAD MAMA.
    My mind was made up. That was going to be it.
    Then yesterday, in the midst of conversation, knuckle sandwiches came up…. EPIPHANY!
    “Sandwich”  I’m all for silly/stupid tattoos. I have a smilie face on my thumb so when I give you a thumbs up… it’s smiling at you… among many other silly random tattoos.
    If you can’t laugh, it’s not worth it.

    No deep meaning behind my knuckle tattoos. Just that if you give me any lip, I can give you a proper knuckle sandwich now.

    xoxo
