Two sets of four letters. Solid.
Hi.. I am Marcos From Brazil.
Before I sent this picture: HARD CORE
My first knuckle tattoo…Now, I sending my second knuckle Tattoo..
which is a complement to the first tattoo.This tattoo was made by my friend and brother Thiago Bitencourt
I met Mitch at The Brixton. His knuckles say more or less what they mean.
Billy Crawford sends us these knuckle tattoos, and his story goes like this:
I got Loveless for a few reasons. I came out when I was 11. My mothers response was that I was going to hell and that noone would ever love me. I got it because the gay community is filled with a lot of lust and little love. Every relationship I’ve been in has been short cause they always want more than I’m willing to give. I got Loveless to remind myself not to be Loveless.
I met Brandon Danger at Toy Joy here in Austin, Texas. He said that his knuckles were part of his collapse of civilization sleeve. He also had the No Grave but the Sea which is a tribute to the Murder City Devils. Tattoos were committed to skin by Jason Angst of Artisan Tattoos and Coffee in Pittsburgh, PA
I met Sean outside of one of my favorite coffee shops in Austin. When I asked him about his knuckles this is what he had to say about them.
I got RAGE on right hand. My punching hand. LOVE is on my right, my guitar hand.
I didn’t want the typical love/hate so I went with rage instead. I don’t hate a lot of things but I sure did get angry a lot when I got the knuckles done.
Jerricka sends us these double deckers:
Soooo im a 19 year old female whose been thru a lot in life. Everytime i fall in life i get bak up on my feet and move forward. As simple as that…”OVERCOME EACH FALL”
Andy Garcia sends us his fresh ink:
I got it in blacklight ink because I didn’t want to effect my opportunities with employment. I choose self made because I am responsible for who I created myself into. Physically w all the ink I have and also mentally to how I view things
Savannah Watson sends us this set of knuckles and the story behind them:
i’ve been an avid, nay, OBSESSED reader since my mother taught me at the age of 4. by the time i was in 3rd grade, i was reading at a high-school level, and by the time i was in 6th grade, i was reading at an undergraduate level. reading is my life, i cant think of anything or anyway i’d rather spend my time. out of all my tattoos, my knuckles are hands down (no pun intended), by far and away, my favorite. i also LOVE the fact that i have yet to meet anyone who doesn’t like them, including people who don’t like tattoos at all.
interesting side note, and i hadn’t even realized this until 2 days after i got them, if i hold my hands the other way, they read “readjust”… and as a stress-filled person, i’m constantly needing to readjust my perspective.
I met Mitchel in Oklahoma City this last weekend. He turned me on to an abandoned church that I explored with camera in hand.
He said that he used to just have PUNX on his right hand, but later changed it to LOVE with a safety pin. Which is even more punk rock if you ask me.
I met Benny at the Blue Note in Oklahoma City on Christmas Day. He said that he is a punk, but never bought into chaos and anarchy. RIOT stands for Righteous Invasion of Truth and he believes in order, truth and justice.
