“I’m a programmer,” says Exciteableboy, he of the above knuckle tattoos, “it’s what I am.” Oh yeah? Well, I LOVE PIES, but you don’t see me bragging about it.
…Oh, who am I kidding? I brag about it all the time. Go forth, good sir.
Actually, let’s open it up to the floor: Favorite knuckle tattoos of all time, whether you’ve actually seen them or just had wonderful dreams about them. Let’s hear ‘em in the comments.

My favourite is mine, but I’m biased. =) Mine is DASY URID. Dasyurids (Family Dasyuridae) are my absolute favourite animals, so…
I’ve had a grand total of maybe four people know what it was though *shrugs*. I don’t mind!

I can’t find an image, but the singer from the band Gallows, Frank, has “Blue Eyes” on his. I’ve always loved how soft the phrase is and how hard knuckle tattoos are.

As mentioned before, “SANDWICH”.

my ex used to work on a tallship, recreating the daily life of a sailor in the 1830s for scads of schoolchildren. many of his fellow shipmates had the traditional “HOLD FAST” knucks, but he was the cook, so he would occasionally write “MAKE STEW” across his knuckles in Sharpie just for a laugh.
now he’s in culinary school, and i think he should make it permanent.

Mine say CHOW DOWN. But they read top to bottom so that when I eat the appropriate foods they’re still visible and readable.
🙂 LOVE FOOD.

In the past, on Modblog I believe, I saw two that I liked “SOUS CHEF” and “HAUS FRAU.”

COMP GATE is what my knuckles read. I love it but it’s probably not funny unless you are an audio nerd like me.
KNUC KLES is also a favorite. Labeling body parts is great!

#26, Well I at least learned what the animal is called in english, apparently in finnish it’s called a “pocket devil” (pussipiru) 😀
I don’t have any real favourites as far as knuckle tats go, but I prefer to have one word/hand, so you don’t need both hands to complete the word. And of course originality is appreciated.

My favorites by far are Jacoby Shaddix’s “Love Hate” and MickDeth’s “Life Less”, and Synyster Gates’ “Marl Boro”
