Kirsten from The Netherlands sends us these tattoos and the following story:
I’m a total bookworm. I spend almost all my free time reading, or browsing for cool books.
And this tattoo is to show I am proud of it, and proud to be myself!
Hello everybody!
Two weeks ago the KnuckleTattoos.com crew headed down to San Antonio for the Alamo City Tattoo Expo. We met a ton of great people talked to them about their knuckle tattoos. I got some great pictures and we heard some great stories. My pal Kai from Mad Pengin came along for the romp and caught a bunch of interviews on video. We will be posting the videos as we have time to edit them all together. In the mean time, here are the photos I took. As always, if these are your knuckles or the knuckles of someone you know and you want to add the story, just email me at nathan[at]knuckletattoos[dot]com and I will feature the story in a separate post.
Check ’em out!
These are super rad. Can you beat these knuckles? In the words written on Bukowski’s tombstone “Don’t Try” Lilli sends us her awesome hands:
Bukowski is the man, legendary and just like my father. Maybe it also tells something about my attitudes.

Joshua Elowsky sends these knuckles in:
My buddy Sonju Rattler did these. I was born and raised in the South, not too far from Sherman’s ashes.
Just got this update from Richard Baggett. I had taken his picture at the Lonestar Round Up and he wanted to add his story to his knuckles:
I’m an Artist Blacksmith in Fort Worth,Texas.
I’ve allways worked with my hands. A skill I thank my grandfathers for. Working with metal has always been my favorite medium. Several years ago a great guy introduced me to Blacksmithing.
Now I build hand forged sculptures. Hence the tattoo “HAND MADE”.
Shane E is a carpenter.
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.
If you need anything done, talk to Ray S. He can do it. Here is what he has to say:
i do graffiti art, play drums, table tennis, and im a barber. im sick at it all. killer work ethic.
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.
Mike B. sent me these knuckles. Here is the story:
i got this to remind myself that i can overcome any and all bullshit that i might face in life
