Dario from Brooklyn, NY shares his story:
I got the date of September 25th tattooed in Roman numerals on the knuckles of my right hand as IX (9) II (2) V (5) commemorates the exact date I met my husband in 2005 and the same date we got married six years later in 2011.
Rishelle sends us these thoroughly done up knuckles, including the stories behind them all:
Hi! These are the knuckle tattoos that I just got done, and the sides of my hands by Derek Davie at Anchor’s End Tattoo in Buffalo, NY. They stand for the fact that you need to live free of everything that is negative, live free of other people’s negative feelings about you. Live the life you want, the way you want, and don’t give a single care as to what others have to say about it. Live free, imagine peace and love your life. The sides stand for that you have to know more to hate less, less is more and more is less, you have to know hate and hate what you know. Enjoy :]

“Boss Egos”
I have an inner conflict of alter egos and they tend to control everything around me -like a Boss. 🙂

Friday before last at our tattoo shop we were giving out 13 dollar tattoos and I figure it was time I hooked up my knuckles with a sweet tattoo
Billy Crawford sends us these knuckle tattoos, and his story goes like this:
I got Loveless for a few reasons. I came out when I was 11. My mothers response was that I was going to hell and that noone would ever love me. I got it because the gay community is filled with a lot of lust and little love. Every relationship I’ve been in has been short cause they always want more than I’m willing to give. I got Loveless to remind myself not to be Loveless.
I met Brandon Danger at Toy Joy here in Austin, Texas. He said that his knuckles were part of his collapse of civilization sleeve. He also had the No Grave but the Sea which is a tribute to the Murder City Devils. Tattoos were committed to skin by Jason Angst of Artisan Tattoos and Coffee in Pittsburgh, PA
