LOVE MORE

Jazu Maxwell sends us these knuckles and the story:

love more is my advice/request/mantra/projection to the world. i always admired the classic ‘love hate’ knuckles, but never wanted the hate bit. when i decided it was time to get em inked, i was still stuck, what is there besides love? oh yeah, nothing, just more love.  i am a lover not a fighter, always have been, always will be.  never been in a fight, not that i plan on changing that, but really, how could you use love knuckles to hit somebody?  and when i turn my fists in on myself, which does happen from time to time (figuratively), i am reminded that all i need to give myself is more love, not a hard time.  also its a nod and a guilty smile to my inner gluttonous heathen. i love the good stuff, food, sex, art, drugs, music, and lots of it.  want some more? hell yes. i always love more.  considering color, not sure yet…

ELLO LOVE

I met Will at the Shangri La in Austin, TX. When I asked him why he got “ELLO LOVE”, he replied “Because I was young and dumb.” He claims to have never picked up a girl using the knuckle tattoos, but I’m skeptical.

GIVE LOVE

I met Lauren at the Red Eyed Fly during South by Southwest. She was great and let me take photos of her knuckle tattoos. When I asked about the meaning behind them, this is what she sent me:

My knuckle tattoos are rather ironic, and pretty straight-forward. Love is a concept everyone should be able relate to, and I live strongly by the word. I suppose it’s more of a personal statement to society. I’ve never been in a fight, nor would I ever want to inflict harm on another person. I got my knuckle tattoos not only for myself, but as my own way of being an open book to society, as well as having an easy gateway to outside conversation.

FREE LOVE – SHIT HEAD

Hot damn, we’ve got a set of double deckers in store for you today. Nathan W. says:

I have good combination of “hippie” tattoos and “punk” tattoos.  I figured you couldnt get any more hippie dippie than free love, and not much more punk than shit head.

LOVE CAKE

My name name is Aedan Wolton, I’m from the UK. I got this tattoo March 2009 at Vibes Tattoo, Amsterdam, NL.

I was originally going for ‘Hold Fast’ but our trip was pretty messy and I was soon persuaded otherwise by the boys. I’m glad I was! It’s always a conversation starter and never fails to make people laugh. There are no finer things in the world than Love & Cake (apart from Sex & Chocolate, but I don’t have enough fingers).

I ♥ BEARDS

This one goes out to my pals in the Austin Facial Hair Club. Although I can not grow a beard of my own, it is important to support those who can. Lauren Ray of Pensacola, FL sends us these knuckle tattoos:

i got this tattoo because well, i LOVE beards. Everyone knows it, so i decided to truly show how much i do by getting it tattooed on my knuckles. The thumbs were a last minute idea and i love them. Tattoo courtesy of 3 Saints Tattoos, Pensacola, FL.
