My friend Gillian did a DIY brand on herself about a week ago. She says it was for no particular reason (which I’d say is unusual for a DIY brand — they tend to be ritualistic and full of meaning), but is quite happy with how it turned out (I like it as well). The brands are quite light — she’s been picking off the blisters/scabs, so it’ll probably heal akin to a shallow skin removal, leaving faint circular scars on each finger.
Timmo got his “Knuckle Sandwich” tattoo done by co-worker Cain at Fat Ink Tattoo in Newcastle, Australia.
I posted his 666 tattoos a yesterday, but also check out ReverendDecay‘s “Sick Fuck” UV ink tattoo on his fingers (oh, and the flash went off for this picture — the lettering is quite bright). Tattoo by Bryan Neal at American Tattoo in Knoxville, MD.
Tatjanaturtle is (among other things) a designer, thus her great new “CADD GIRL” tattoo (computer-aided design and drafting)… This is one of my favorite “nerdy tattoos” to date I think, probably because I took so many years of drafting and architechture classes! Tattoo by Joy Rumore (The Milkmaid, LLC), at Venus in NYC.
Emilio Gonzalez of Mithos Tattoo, one of many practitioners on an extended world tour, sends in this unusual knuckle skin removal…
Jonn got these Legend of Zelda geek knuckles done on vacataion while in Vancouver by Sasha at Electro Ladylux.

Some of you already know about this blog, but I wanted to mention a fun new tattoo blog, Knuckle Tattoos. Here’s GEISHA‘s TINY CORE knuckle tattoo by Randy in Chicago (she really is tiny core). Anyway, click through to check out Nathan’s project:
No, not the drive-commentors-crazy sort of brass knuckle implants, but a series of dermal anchors across the knuckles by Johannes Skindeeplove at Chronic Tattoo in San Diego, CA.
