Daniel B. sent us these tasty tattoos:
whats up, i am daniel brauch i have been cooking since i was fifteen years old (im 23 now) and i recently graduated culinary school and thought that whatever i do and know matter what happens in my crazy ass life that i will always live a “cook life”. tats done by leopard larry at telepathic tattoo 502 onion st. austin tx.
Antwan says this is self explanatory.
UPDATE: Then today he sent me the explanation:
I got ‘Take That’ because people were always telling me that I couldn’t do something or I would never be able to do something. My thought was…’the hell I can’t…watch me.’ So I guess it was kind of to rub it in peoples’ faces. Plus I thought it was funny.
Meredith S. has this to say about her knuckle tattoos:
Early last year, I gave away most of my shit, filled up a backpack and started footing it down the road. I was hanging out with a lot of other traveling kids, and a lot of them had knuckle tats. They said things like “wanderer” and “vagabond”; “game over” and “love / hate” like you see all the time. Some were more creative. “Wingnut” and “Lousybum” were always my favorites. So I thought to myself, if I get this done, what will I put? I wanted an eight letter word, and I narrowed it down to “kindness” or “grateful.” I would have really liked “grateful” because of my love for the Dead, but ultimately “kindness” was a really good reminder to me of what I want my hands and my actions to accomplish. These are my favorite tattoos.
Dro sends us this set of ROCK STAR knuckles:
I am the bass player for south florida’s Deadstar Assembly. In this email I have attached a photo of my knuckle tatt which reads “Rock Star”. A bunch of fans have been emailing me asking me to submit my photo to this site, so I figured I’d finally take a picture and send it in. Hope it goes to good use. You can check us out at deadstar.com and myspace.com/deadstarassembly.
We imported these knuckles all the way from Sweden:

We do like the picture, thanks for sending it in Crille!
Ashley J sent these knuckles in with the following story:
I got this tattoo because I’m a complete school junkie. I love every aspect of it. Learning new things, writing papers, studying, listening to lectures. I love the feeling of learning something that I never knew before, and would probably never need to know in my whole life. I expect to have atleast 4 or 5 different degrees by the time I finish school. None of them I really plan to do anything with or pursue any type of career in the fields I study. I just want to spend my life learning as much as I possibly can. Also, whenever I get asked what my standards are my only response is “I want a boy who will talk about calculus with me, and won’t get mad if I correct his grammar.” Whenever I tell somebody what I plan to do with my life, or what I look for in a boy, all I’ve EVER gotten back from them is “You’re such a…nerd.” And I realize they were right. I am. It’s a big part of who I am, and I’m extremely proud of it.
Herr Fatty McGruder sends us this photo of Ron Mo-D with a note:

Aaron Little sent these in and I thought it would be appropriate to post them on Memorial Day. Here is what he has to say about them:
My knuckle tattoo was partially inspired by my Buddhist beliefs. I got it to remind me daily to follow the noble eightfold path. I also got it as a reminder to learn from my past mistakes. The tattoo was done by Jeremy from The Ink Station in Abilene, TX.
