These knuckles come all the way from Melbourne (Florida):
My name is Gavin and I work at Th-Inker Tattoo in Melbourne, Florida. Kevin comes down from Jersey a couple times a year and has marathon tattoo sessions. We decided to tattoo his knuckles on a whim last time he was here. Kevin says he frequently gets into fist fights so we thought “PEEK-A-BOO” would be funny.
This set is an update, details:

Today I’ve got a great set of knuckles for y’all. They come on the hands of Skye from Australia, she’s 40% covered and working on more. Since so much of the ink is on her hands, I’m going to alternate her story and the pictures of her knuckles:

there are 3 things that can ruin a man
1.drugs/achole
2.gameling
3.women

I AM SELF MADE

These knuckles belong to Johnny Johno, works with Gill the Drill Montie at Tattoomania in Beaumont, TX. He had previously worked at Amillion Tattoos and Piercing in Austin TX. He’s the protector of old skool…check it.
Shaun P. sent these in a long time ago, I am just getting them up now… Here is the story:
I been through some crazy stuff. And done plenty of ignorant shit. I moved past a very unproductive and rough time in my life to pursue my art and tattooing full time. So, with that said I’m “2FAR GONE” to ever go back.
I work at “The Laughing Buddha Tattoo And Body Piercing” in Denison Texas. The Tattoos where done freehand by the owner Deveaux Richards.
These were sent in by Justin F. he has this to say:
That was the year I was established and born. People proudly put it on their business windows and cards so I thought why not put it on my knuckles. People often think I am older and I usually have to convince them of my age. Now I just show them my knuckles.
Artist—T.J. Strey Owner of Big Daddy’s Tattoos in Waco, TX.
Atari Matt sent these in via the MySpaces:
I’ve been into atari 2600 and video games since I was a kid. I’m 35 now.
Been doing music using ataris for a few years now. have been fixing up and restoring arcade and pinball machines for 7-8 years. I’ve got LOTS of tattoos and always wanted my knuckles…you know how you always think up what would be cool…one day about 6 months ago it hit me!
GAME OVER…nothing more perfect for me, plus its tough too!
I’d been sweating getting them done…carreer enders and all…but a really good friend of mine that has tattooed for years and did my first tattoos just moved back to texas from Albuquerque and stayed with us for a couple of weeks…basically between him and my wife and friends I didn’t have a choice but to get them done!
The carreer ender part is also all part of a sub-concious plan. I’ve always ended up in nice desk jobs and really like the one I’m at now, but I can’t see sitting at a desk for the rest of my life. Now if this job ends I have really cut off the “office proffessional” avenue and will have to make different choices the next time around
Tiffany L. sends us these knuckles and the story below:
I got my knuckles tattooed on Aug. 28, 2007. I got “baby girl” because I had a dog that I called baby girl who was like a child to me who passed, also because my dad always calls me baby girl, and has since I was little. I got them done at Underground Artworks in Edwardsville, IL by Eric Beard.
Here is a set from Matt T. this is what he has to say:
People ask me is it a racist thing? so i say look at me! what am i? im a white boy! so thats why i have them because its what i am…
These knuckles come via Greg C. and this what he has to say for himself:
i have been tattooing for 19 years, coast to coast. my knuckles were done by scott wilgeroth when i worked with him at artistic bodyworks in cocoa beach fla. they rule!
