Knuckle Tattoo Ideas

By Darren Hartley


Knuckle tattoo ideas pack a serious punch. They can be cool or lame. They show funny, stupid or weird inscriptions. They are nothing short of inspiring showing poetry, pain, beauty and angst contained in eight letters of the alphabet. They express a lot of ideas without the use of a lot of ink.

Knuckle tattoo ideas are classic styles among the tattoos available in any design and style imaginable. Words are one of the most commonly used knuckle tattoos. This type of knuckle tattoo was popularized in the love and hate tattoos used on Robert Mitchum's character in the 1955 film, The Night of the Hunter.

The tradition of spelling out meaningful words, clever phrase turns or statements in knuckle tattoo ideas can be embellished with either elaborate or not-so-elaborate artwork, with the intention of drawing the eye to the image. This is an acceptable option for wearers who wish to convey his thoughts not only through words but images as well, both centering around a common message.

Any word or phrase of eight letters or less can be spelled across knuckle tattoo ideas. The word or phrase chosen must have some meaning attached to it for its wearer. This could be the name of the wearer or his favorite mantra.

Characters from favorite films or video games may also serve as good knuckle tattoo ideas. The most common position for knuckle tattoos is on the first knuckle closest to the hand. When facing forward, the tattoo can be read when the two fists are held out together.

While the first knuckle closest to the hand is the common positioning used for knuckle tattoo ideas, there is the option of inking the tattoo facing its wearer so he can read them when he holds out his hands, palms down, in front of him.
