Seb sends us these fresh knuckle tattoos and the following story:
I finally got my knuckle tattoo 2 days ago and I had to submit it to your site, since your site was a good inspiration for mine!
After about a month and a half of thinking about what I wanted to get done on my knuckle I still couldn’t decide.. so I just abandonned the project.
I wanted something that represented my authenticity, my strangeness, my way of embracing ridicule and fucking opinions. Finally 3 days after losing all hope
for the tattoo I saw this word and I knew that it was what I wanted!
As for the semi double decker I have below, I got the 4 card types and inversed the colors. It means that not everything in life is always the way it should be, but different isn’t bad :)
My name is Dave Bireley & I’m 48. I had wanted knuckle tattoos for quite awhile but as with any other tattoo I’ve ever gotten I’d know when the time was right & the phrase would be appropriate for me. I chose LIV4 2DAY as an inspirational reminder to make the most of each day I have. We never know which day will be our last. Over the years & very suddenly I’ve lost quite a few loved ones that were close to me. A Brother, best friend, dogs etcetera. The other reason I went with this phrase is to remind me that during good or tough times I need to remain thankful for each day.
I met John Man at the hardware store the other day. He is a recent Austin transplant from Alaska. He says that he decided to get his knuckles tattooed at age 20 while climbing mountains in Alaska. He realized that he was living the life he wanted and that not every one really does.
I decided to get homesick tattooed on my knuckles simply because I had a really hard time growing up and never hard your stereotypical “HOME” life.
It has NOTHING to do with the album of the same name by the band A DAY TO REMEMBER even though I do love that band haha.
I have been sideshow obsessed for years now and was really excited to get this. The biggest problem was I am an elementary school teacher (art at least, so they expect me to be a bit odd) and knuckle tattoos are not generally excepted in that setting. My wonderful artist, Jorge Moreno (Trinity Tattoo Longwood, FL) offered to do ’em in UV ink so i could still have ’em and keep my job. I am so happy with them!
Here is my knuckle ink, I just got it done about 5 hours ago. Wanted to submit it to your website. I have always like the line, “fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom” (proverbs 9:10) I’m an ordained reverend, so I found it fitting.
Hey there. Just wanted to add some more to your site. I think its an awesome idea for sure.
My short little story behind is that I am not evil at all… or am I? Been athiest since I was a young kid and always loved making fun of organized religion. :)
I actually thought of it when I was listening to the song “Trouble” from Elvis.
