Knuckle Tattoos - Best you've seen or your current fav?

[Gia Dobson 5]

The thing I love most about knuckle tattoos is the need to be clever within a predefined container of 8 (or 10) letters. Plus it's just some good ol fashion stupid fun to come up with new ones!

I think my current favs are: BOOK WORM and TRUE GENT

[Dean Schubert 3]

Here's a set I've done within the last year. An appropriate one for election day. And, if you cross the hands, it says Free Feel. How cool is that!

true gent is dope... fuck life would be better. hahaha

[The Hyena 7]

Mine say "HUMILITY"

[The Hyena 7]

And on my second set I have "Snake oil Salesman" vertically.

[Patrick 9]

My two favorites are: SAND WICH and PLAN AHEA

[deaddreamnation 4]

my favorite is on this chick here in town that reads: BEAT KIDS. pretty funny. Mine say open eyes.

[Dean Schubert 3]

for all you tuna lovers ALBA CORE

I have always liked the knuckle tattoos where someone has to lock their fingers together lining up their knuckles so that you can read what it says vertically (below is one I found on google for knuckle tattoos). Or the Russian style knuckle tattoos which is a-whole-nother thread that Scott and I were talking about recently so I'll be starting that soon.

How about the below one of Joaquin Phoenix knuckle tattoos? ha.

I still like my knuckle and finger tattoos and haven't gotten sick of them. Below is an old picture I found of the top portion of the fingers which reads Fidelity.

Then my upper knuckles which are not in the picture are XOXO on the top knuckles of each hand.

Did anyone else never realize how not straight their fingers are until they got them tattooed?

Quick question.......Why are finger tattoos often refered to as knuckle tattoos and knuckle tattoos just that? I often use Knuckle tattoos regardless but linguistically is not accurate. Just food for thought like why can deaf people drive but it is illegal to drive with headphones or where do pigeons come from cause i have never seen baby pigeons?

Here's SAN DIEGO by Ben Grillo, one of my favorite tattooers:

[matt cee 0]

i like "lost soul" ive noticed alot of people are getting symbols as well.

[nicky papers 28]

"Said & Done" is a good one i saw recently. and "mom tried" was pretty funny.

[Gia Dobson 5]

Two more favs... FIST CITY and FISH WIFE

[dari 12]

Wait, Scott, that says "kindness?"

I always thought it said Mike Ness, which was weird, but I decided not to ask questions that I didn't want the answer to!

Love Plan Ahea, although I'm glad it's not on me. Kind of like my friend Clare's LOL tattoo, Jason McTickles talked her into getting it where she would not see it everyday.

[Scott Sylvia 63]

so i think the best wife beater one ever is" baby hush" man makes me smile just thinking about it....didnt sunny tufts have hunny hush tattooed on his hand and covered it cuz he said it looked like it said funny hush? script im assuming.. not because it was wrong mind you.

[Julio Avila 7]

I like good time charlies knuckles. He's got crosses done by a bunch of the dudes at jack rudys shop, I believe

[xjamestravisx 10]

Mine say "Take Time"

I'm gonna do Poor and Ugly on a friend's soon.

Is this it? I know that Grillo did several of these:

[The Hyena 7]

A friend of mine has DEAD MEAT on his. Dude is such a scrappy bastard too. So rad.
