BEAT DOWN

My names Cory Schneider and I have BEAT-DOWN tattooed on my knuckles.  I got it when I joined a body-suspension team that was calling themselves BEAT (we came up with quite a few meanings for the anagram, none of which are repeatable in polite company).  I got DOWN on the other hand because I have OCD and would have hated to be unbalanced.  I always have to explain to people that it has nothing to do with fighting and all to do with my love for body modification.  I had the skeletal structure of my hands tattooed around the knuckle tattoos.

c’est la vie – LOVE SICK

Hi there, my name is Pascual Romero, and I have a hard time finding jobs ;)

I kid, but I do have knuckle tattoos, and I thought I’d share mine.

The “c’est la vie” statement is something I like to live my life by.  Loosely translated from French, it means “such is life” or “that’s life”, which is my rather laid-back way of looking at what comes my way.  Bad day, good day, it’s just life and it’s up to me to take it for what it is.  I think it’s a very positive way of looking at things, personally.
Second, my “Lovesick” tattoo across my lower knuckles was actually the end product of the little heart tattooed on my right middle finger.  I got it in honor of my TV show “Rad Girls”, where I serve as the associate producer and occasional on-screen personality.  I wanted to incorporate it into something clever, and being the romantic that I am, figured it would be a pretty fitting statement.

Thanks!

FREE LOST

Matt Lawless says:

I had my wife’s initial done on my ring finger and since we split up I’d been agonising about getting it gone over. I chose this in the end because not only does it reflect how I was feeling after the break, but it also speaks for my Nihilist/Hippie sensibilities. A weird mix I know but it’s always worked for me! Lovingly inked by my good friend Andy at Adorn in Shrewsbury UK.

LOVE MORE

Jazu Maxwell sends us these knuckles and the story:

love more is my advice/request/mantra/projection to the world. i always admired the classic ‘love hate’ knuckles, but never wanted the hate bit. when i decided it was time to get em inked, i was still stuck, what is there besides love? oh yeah, nothing, just more love.  i am a lover not a fighter, always have been, always will be.  never been in a fight, not that i plan on changing that, but really, how could you use love knuckles to hit somebody?  and when i turn my fists in on myself, which does happen from time to time (figuratively), i am reminded that all i need to give myself is more love, not a hard time.  also its a nod and a guilty smile to my inner gluttonous heathen. i love the good stuff, food, sex, art, drugs, music, and lots of it.  want some more? hell yes. i always love more.  considering color, not sure yet…

LIFE TIME

Kaboe Kavapalu sends us these knuckle tattoos and the following story:

Thanks, really stoked on how they came out. The reason I got “life time” was to remind myself that we only have one “life” and all we have is “time”…so might as well have the “time of my life”. My best mate tattooed them, he recently got married and is living in Norway, so I took a trip out to visit him and while i was out there he laid this ink down for me.
