Two sets of four letters. Solid.
I’ve wanted knuckle ink for a long time and decided on the Latin words, “BONA FIDE.” Most of us think of this as meaning, “the real deal,” or, “true to the game.” The Latin translation is, “in good faith.” I couldn’t be more pleased with how it turned out!!

I got cake on my left hand to cover up the foolish tattoo i got when i was married. The K is from my ex. After realising that it wasnt working out i had to get rid of it or get something else, My brother thought of using CAKE and his reasoning was that everyone likes cake. I thought it was a pretty good idea. Im in the process of getting LIFE on my right hand and IS on my thumbs. i’ll send in pics when its done and i think i mght poach an idea from your site and go with the pacman theme on my lower knuckles.

Hey guys! I’m tiffany, I love your page and had to send mine in as soon as I got a decent pic. Here’s my picture and the story behind em.
Someone near and dear to me started calling me dollface years ago and it just stuck. I adore being called Dollface and after soem thought I figured it was dainty enough to be tattooed on my knuckles. My favorite part of it is the girly skull, my artist knows how feminine I am and even gave her a little bow, every time I look at my hands I can’t help but smile!
Jim Warner sends us these carbonated knuckles:
Got this tattooed a couple years ago. I may have a bit of a (diet) coke problem. The little store next to our shop only sold Diet Pepsi for the longest time, so when he got a Coke cooler I decided that was all the reason I needed to get the knucks done. Some folks think about a BAC, I worry about a BDCC.

I got these tattoos because I am a Chef and that is what I will always strive for no matter were I work or who I cook for: GOOD FOOD!! I got the egg and pig because of old childhood memories of eggs and bacon in the morning, plus those are my 2 fav things to work with.
Just got these fresh digits in from John S.:
Here is my generic tattoo. Ha actually has some meaning to me though, got it the day my old lady said she wanted me back in her life, this is her last call. I’ll send pictures if the lower knuckles soon as I get a picture.
A lady known only (to me) as “plasticisfantastic” sends her knuckles and this story:
Got the words “Baby Doll” on my knuckles a couple of days ago! I got this tattoo because everyone tells me I look so innocent all the time and I look just like a baby doll! So the nickname just eventually caught on to me.
