Read My Fists (Half Assed Guest Post)

Savannah sends us this set of knuckles:

i am a reading addict. i started reading at the age of 5, and have more or less never put the book down since. my personal library contains about 400 books or so. i have yet to meet a single person who doesnt like this tattoo.

none of the hundreds of books i read taught me how to capitalize or use apostrophes.
i should have read how 2 check a tattoo artist's portfolio b4 i got his tattoo because the line-work sucks.

Fist Full of Ink (Tattoo Story)

Now She's Hard to Beat

My name is Elizabeth. I got this tattoo because I was abused as a child. My Dad told my teachers that my black eyes were from my clumsy tripping. He soon discovered that it was easier to hide the beatings when he punched me in the stomach. It took a broken rib and punctured lung for me to gain the courage to report him.

This tattoo reminds me to play nice all the time. It also shows my strength. I'm nice by choice, not from weakness.

4/20 Knuckle Tattoos (Guest Post)

Erica sends us these knuckle tattoos and a short description:

Since baseball season is upon us it always reminds me that my pride is there no matter who is on our team this year or who may or may not be retiring.  I found your website & thought you might like the pics!

The execution for this one is OK, the design is a little dicey for a knuckle though. That's something I'd expect the owner to have, not a mere fan. To each her own.

Knuckle Tattoos (Guest Post)

Someone likes A Day To Remember, I think it’s Josh! Wait, I know it’s Josh:

Hey my name is Joshua Ellis. I recently got this done. Homesick is an album that I listen too daily, and have done so for the past almost 3 years.


That script is wrong. The letter forms aren't legible, especially in all capitals. I would have done it by hand, and left the computer fonts for graphic designers.
You can make your own hand lettering or you can choose lettering from a book:
