What is a knuckle tattoo?

Knuckle tattoos are small designs placed on the knuckles of the fingers, often forming a word spread across both hands (one letter per finger).

They fade faster than most other placements because of constant skin movement and hand-washing. Touch-ups are common.

Examples

  • Classic LOVE / HATE across both hands
  • A short symbolic word
  • Small dots or symbols on each knuckle
