DEUS VULT

DEUS VULT

Andy B. sends us these tattoos.

My knuckles say “DEUS VULT”- which means “God Wills It” in Latin. I am not a bible-thumper (although I am from the Bible belt), it’s really just a battle cry.

KNUCKLES

KNUCKLES

This classic set comes all the way from New Zealand:

Hey my name is Karla and I am a tattooist from New Zealand.  These are my husband Alex’s knuckles. He was basically trying to find something funny and completely ridiculous to tattoo on them, there were a few choices such as sandwich, bungface, mukpuddy (which is the name of his animation studio)  but we decided on “knuckles” enjoy!

Artist: Karla Hansen
Studio: Streetwise, Newmarket, New Zealand

Ryan and from Minneapolis Minnesota sends us these knuckles:

I’ve always been a huge simpsons fan so i decided on this because it just happens to be eight letters and its not even a real word. for those of you who dont know the founder of springfield said “a noble spirit embiggens the smallest man”.

BADA BING

BADA BING

Well, one of the good folks I met at SxSW got back to me already, here is the story behind Bada Bing from Karen Bellavia a piercer Custom Tattoos from The Soul on 6th Street, and Amillion Tattoos:

My story is pretty simple really, I got “Bada Bing” because my friends used to call me that as a nickname (long before the Sopranos). They also used to call me “Grape stomper” but that wouldn’t fit. I’m italian so I thought it was fitting. My last name is going on my lower knucks soon so it will say Bada Bing Bellavia!

The Knuckle Tattoos of South by Southwest

Hello gentle readers,

Last week was the South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas. I spend most of the week at Beerland working the door and taking photos of knuckle tattoos. I didn’t get the details on most of them since I was kind of busy. Hopefully some of them will contact me and I’ll be able to update with their stories.

See the whole set after the jump.

This double set comes all the way from Sweden from a guy named Wanker Inferno. He wants us all to “Keep the Rock ‘n’ Roll flag high!”
