He’s been to the cemetery that was used In the 1968 Night of the Living Dead…

Gavin D of New Zealand sends us the knuckles of him an his buddy:
heres a shot of me (I’m on the right) taken on vans Warped tour in 05. the knuckles on the right belong to my buddy james the stage tech for MXPX, he got them tattooed mid tour with “MEXICANO” and after seeing them i thought we’d form a tour bond by getting mine done.. as I’m from new zealand and we get called Kiwi’s (after our national bird not the fuzzy fruit,haha) I ended up with “KIWICANO”. so here we are reprezenting with pride.
These beauties come on the hands of Kristy T, and here is her story:
My Great grandfather was in the Navy and later a barge Cpt. on the Ohio river. I was given my middle name of Lee after him. He was heavily tattooed and had Love and hate on his knuckles so I guess what I am getting at is that it was in memory of my Great grandfather.
Mike from Vancouver, WA sends us this set and story:
Vancouver Washington motorcycle enthusiast. Live to ride. Ride to live. Because I love motorcycles and the people who ride them.
Sometimes I get a set of knuckles and I have to say: “Dude are you fucking kidding me, that’s crazy.” Turns out that Alex M. or Assy McShitface as he is called by his friends isn’t dicking around at all:
I got my knuckles tattooed yesterday. I chose to dawn them with the term SHITFACE. Since I was 15 my best friend and I made up an alter ego for myself named Assy McShitface, it later became my stage name for the various bands that I’ve been in. I decided to make the name forever, and get the knuckles tattooed.
Amy sends us these thoughtful knuckles along with this story:
. . .everyone’s always calling me the ‘sexy school teacher’ or ‘sexy librarian’ . . .soooo, boom, read my knucks bitches!! tee hee, . . . here are a few of the mens’ reactions thus far . . . “The dichotomy between the stereotype of a bookworm and hardcore knuck tattoos is utterly delicious” and “I am a total bibliophile. Throw the book at me and treat me rough you bad bookish girl!” and then there’s “Quite possibly the sexiest tattoo I’ve ever seen. Brilliantly conceived and beautifully implemented. (And the fact that it can say BOO for halloween with the aid of a bandage is icing on the cake)” wow, simma down boys. . . and then on the other end of the spectrum there’s the women who are inviting me to join book clubs. . . . i find all of this utterly amusing. . . . (thanks Branden for the kick ass font you drew up for me and i love love love the little white dot/accents . . . it makes me feel like i have little encyclopedias on my digits =) you can find him at 1LifeTattoo, brainerd, mn)
Wendi W. sends us these knuckles as a warning:
I’ve realized the best way to explain why I got this on my knuckles is to present a simple piece of writing by Dorothy Parker which reads:
Once, when I was young and true,
Someone left me sad-
Broke my brittle heart in two;
And that is very bad.Love is for unlucky folk,
Love is but a curse.
Once there was a heart I broke;
And that, I think, is worse.As much as I have loved each very much, I always “trade up”. This is what you do throughout the course of life, I just end up doing it back to back. The result being many broken hearts. As soon as I win a heart, I break it. It is a line from one of my favorite songs and I felt like it should be added to my collection of “warning” tattoos. Then, when I leave the next one, I can say, “I warned you” and maybe feel a little less guilty.
Tattooed by Doug Curtis at Diablo Rojo who also tattooed her other warnings: A giant “Poison” girl on my chest and a line down my arm:”The sweeter the apple, the blacker the core.”
Jessica sends us these lovely knuckles from Minnesota:
The Story behind my knuckle tattoos is actually quite simple, but at the same time has alot of meaning behind it for me, as do all of my tattoos.
First off, the right hand “Punk” more or less describews part of the lifestyle that has come to influence who I am, and well my dress style… kind of cliche I guess but that’s how it goes. Left hand, “Byrd”, common term used in England and amongst skinheads to describe a female, and I’m damn proud to be one, as well as being a Skin byrd.
The lower knuckles, “Oi Oi” common greeting amoungst Punks and skins.
Now all together, it’s great for the simple fact that when i beat the crap out of someone, they’ve been punked by a byrd. Oi!
Done in Salisbury, North Carolina at Inksanity’s Gates by James Danielson.
Happy Friday y’all! These knuckles are awesome. Here is the note that came with them:
The idea for this tattoo started out as a joke. I was with some friends at an all-night diner, and we were discussing 8-letter words that would make no sense tattooed on someone’s knuckles. My friend said ‘elephant’ and since I really like elephants for no reason, I decided that would be it. My tattoo artist asked me why I was getting the word elephant tattooed on my knuckles, and I just said “Because I never forget.” So that’s why.
Dean sends us these ghostly apparitions with the following story:
i got these done by a guy called rossi who travels the world tattooing.
