INRI

Post author By Nathan Black
Post date November 11, 2006

These knuckle tattoos come from just south of Montreal, Canada. I’ll let Ace do the story telling:

I am a professional tattooist and owner of Ace Valiant Tattoos in Ch�teauguay, Qu�bec, Canada. I decided last year to finish my right sleeve (pretty much Christian theme) with writing on the top of my hand and my knuckles.

Because I already have Jesus face in my inner forearm with IHS lettering underneath, John the Baptist on the top forearm, immersed in water, a dove and light, also the verses of Mathew 3:13-17 from the bible to demonstrate the fact Jesus got baptized.

It was pretty logical to put something to fit the rest.

On my knuckles, you can read some INRI in some old school lettering which means: Jesus of Nazareth King of Jews. I also have a little black cross over my right thumb,and some writing on the top of my hand which says: Only God can judge me.

These knuckles come to us all the way from Kari in Germany:

Maybe a little overdone, I know, but I’m seriously a lucky girl! It’s my way of remembering how blessed I am to have such wonderful people in my life and to have the opportunities to live and love that I’ve encountered. <3

SICK CHIC

I went to see Social Distortion play at Stubb’s Wednesday night. Mike Ness of course put on a hell of a show, all pouting and chewing gum and rocking out. My girl was up against the front barrier and spent most of the show slapping crowd surfers in the head as they passed over her and enjoying the show. As it turns out, the gal next to her had these beautiful knuckles that read SICK CHIC.

We caught up with Audra after the show, while waiting in line to shake Mr. Ness’ hand. She said that the story was Mike Ness. He inspired the tattoos, and this was actually her first time seeing him perform in person. Audra works at the Firing Line tattoo shop in Tyler, Texas.

Mr. Ness himself declined having his knuckle tattoos photographed. He was tired after a long show. Hopefully one day, right? Until then I’ve still got the deviant art photo of his knuckles.

PAID DUES

Brawlin Bo’ here is a 10 year veteran of professional wrestling as a part of the National Wrestling Alliance and on the Alternative Wrestling Show. Y’all this is pro-wrestling like it was meant to be. Characters with schticks. Beat downs. Real guys I can relate too fighting it out. I don’t know where it all went wrong. But these guys are putting on a show for real. Bo has this to tell us about his knuckle tattoos:

I have been a pro wrestler for about 10 years now , and it’s a tuff business to be in and a lot of people gotta “pay their dues” so to speak. I have for sure done so, and wanted all the other wrestlers to make sure they recognize =]. Plus I did 2 years in the pin for some bullshit back in the day so I figured I would get that for both reasons…

Nothing but respect Bo’. Keep it going strong. A video for the viewing, after the cut.

GIVE TAKE

In Keith’s own words:

This is a knuckle tattoo I just recently got. I got it because I wanted my tattoo to have some meaning to it yet sound cool. Give and take is how life works and you can relate the tattoo to a lot of stuff. You give your time for work and you take money. You give your money to a store and you take your TV. It reminds me of the sacrifice you have to put in to get a gain, with everything really.

HOMEWARD

Post date October 20, 2006

Looks like Spud (VACATION) has already been spreading the word. The day his knuckles posted I get these knuckles from his friend Andrew C.

This is what Andrew has to say:

I am a touring guy as well, tour managing and running sound for bands far and near. I have worked for The Black Dahlia Murder, Cattle Decapitation, Dropping Daylight, Panic Cell, Nonpoint, Sevendust, etc…

I got “HOMEWARD” because it is my favorite place to be. Granted I get bored real quick but that is where my wife and son are and thats good enough for me. So even my first day out on tour is one day closer to being home!

I like that these came in back to back. Two different ways of looking at a similar journey.

VACATION

These knuckle tattoos can be found touring the world on a guy called Spud. He is a tour manager and sound guy for bands including Terror, American Headcharge, BloodSimple, and God Forbid. His next tour will be with Bury Your Dead.
Here is what he says about his knuckle tattoo:

It says “VACATION” cause my life is a vacation. When I work I tour and do sound and when I’m home I do nothing.

If you want to find where his vacation will take him next check the myspace.

Hey y’all, this here is Raymond straight out of Newcastle U.K. He just recently got his knuckles tattooed. He picked “OBSESSED” for his obsession with tattoos. Raymond, we sure know where you are coming from.

Cheers!
