knuckle tattooHaving been inspired by friends with knuckle tattoos, I’ve lately toyed with the notion of getting my own finger ink. As with anything permanent, it’s been hard for me to make up my mind as to what I want to run with forever. Nathan Black has put together a cool website that hosts an archive of knuckle art, which has likewise been inspiring for my decision making process. After browsing his gallery, I figured I’d take it to the next step by making a tool to dynamically preview knuckle tattoos. Nathan said he’d host the tool on his site and eventually it’ll get over there. For now, though, I’m debuting it on Austin Skate Notes.
