BOOK WORM

Post date November 30, 2007

Amy sends us these thoughtful knuckles along with this story:

. . .everyone’s always calling me the ‘sexy school teacher’ or ‘sexy librarian’ . . .soooo, boom, read my knucks bitches!! tee hee, . . . here are a few of the mens’ reactions thus far . . . “The dichotomy between the stereotype of a bookworm and hardcore knuck tattoos is utterly delicious” and “I am a total bibliophile. Throw the book at me and treat me rough you bad bookish girl!” and then there’s “Quite possibly the sexiest tattoo I’ve ever seen. Brilliantly conceived and beautifully implemented. (And the fact that it can say BOO for halloween with the aid of a bandage is icing on the cake)” wow, simma down boys. . . and then on the other end of the spectrum there’s the women who are inviting me to join book clubs. . . . i find all of this utterly amusing. . . . (thanks Branden for the kick ass font you drew up for me and i love love love the little white dot/accents . . . it makes me feel like i have little encyclopedias on my digits =) you can find him at 1LifeTattoo, brainerd, mn)

NO GOOD

Post author By Nathan Black
Post date November 23, 2007

Wendi W. sends us these knuckles as a warning:

I’ve realized the best way to explain why I got this on my knuckles is to present a simple piece of writing by Dorothy Parker which reads:

Once, when I was young and true,
Someone left me sad-
Broke my brittle heart in two;
And that is very bad.

Love is for unlucky folk,
Love is but a curse.
Once there was a heart I broke;
And that, I think, is worse.

As much as I have loved each very much, I always “trade up”. This is what you do throughout the course of life, I just end up doing it back to back. The result being many broken hearts. As soon as I win a heart, I break it. It is a line from one of my favorite songs and I felt like it should be added to my collection of “warning” tattoos. Then, when I leave the next one, I can say, “I warned you” and maybe feel a little less guilty.

Tattooed by Doug Curtis at Diablo Rojo who also tattooed her other warnings: A giant “Poison” girl on my chest and a line down my arm:”The sweeter the apple, the blacker the core.”

PUNK BYRD OI OI

Jessica sends us these lovely knuckles from Minnesota:

The Story behind my knuckle tattoos is actually quite simple, but at the same time has alot of meaning behind it for me, as do all of my tattoos.

First off, the right hand “Punk” more or less describews part of the lifestyle that has come to influence who I am, and well my dress style… kind of cliche I guess but that’s how it goes. Left hand, “Byrd”, common term used in England and amongst skinheads to describe a female, and I’m damn proud to be one, as well as being a Skin byrd.

The lower knuckles, “Oi Oi” common greeting amoungst Punks and skins.

Now all together, it’s great for the simple fact that when i beat the crap out of someone, they’ve been punked by a byrd. Oi!

8 Across Knuckle Tattoos

Happy Friday y’all! These knuckles are awesome. Here is the note that came with them:

The idea for this tattoo started out as a joke. I was with some friends at an all-night diner, and we were discussing 8-letter words that would make no sense tattooed on someone’s knuckles. My friend said ‘elephant’ and since I really like elephants for no reason, I decided that would be it. My tattoo artist asked me why I was getting the word elephant tattooed on my knuckles, and I just said “Because I never forget.” So that’s why.

PEEK A BOO

These knuckles come all the way from Melbourne (Florida):

My name is Gavin and I work at Th-Inker Tattoo in Melbourne, Florida. Kevin comes down from Jersey a couple times a year and has marathon tattoo sessions. We decided to tattoo his knuckles on a whim last time he was here. Kevin says he frequently gets into fist fights so we thought “PEEK-A-BOO” would be funny.

Post author By Nathan Black
Post date September 6, 2007

Today I’ve got a great set of knuckles for y’all. They come on the hands of Skye from Australia, she’s 40% covered and working on more. Since so much of the ink is on her hands, I’m going to alternate her story and the pictures of her knuckles:

Mans Ruin:
there are 3 things that can ruin a man
1.drugs/achole
2.gameling
3.women
and im a women and i admit i have ruined a few men, so i got that tattooed, guess its a warning :P

Self Made:
in my childhood i was brought up in a poor family and through schooling i got allot of unwanted attention cause i could afford to buy the best of everything like all the other rich kids… now im very sucessful and definatly would be having a better lifestyle than those kids that had made fun of me. im where i am today cause of myself not my family nor friends.. I AM SELF MADE

XXX:
the 3x’s in the webbing of my fingers stand for a life style that i have chosen. The life style is called “Straight Edge”, for people who are unaway of what this consists of.. its
1.No Alchole
2.No permiscuious sex
3.No drugs
and some other people also believe that you have to be vegetarien or vegan as well, i dont believe that view but i am vegan myself.

2FAR GONE

Post author By Nathan Black
Post date September 4, 2007

Shaun P. sent these in a long time ago, I am just getting them up now… Here is the story:

I been through some crazy stuff. And done plenty of ignorant shit. I moved past a very unproductive and rough time in my life to pursue my art and tattooing full time. So, with that said I’m “2FAR GONE” to ever go back.

I work at “The Laughing Buddha Tattoo And Body Piercing” in Denison Texas. The Tattoos where done freehand by the owner Deveaux Richards.
