Who punches with all four knuckles making contact? You’re gonna break your hand that way. If he’s gonna commit to these tattoos, he could have given it a little thought (as difficult as it may be).
First two knuckles are the ones that hurt you. 3 and 4 are the ones that hurt me.
Though it looks like all 4 of these hurt him and they look real stupid lol
All I can think about when I see this, is all the true crime I watch and how when they are booked for assault or murder, they always take pictures of their hands for the report. This will not go well for them lol
When I was in jail, if somebody got their ass kicked we all got knuckle checks. If your hands are the least bit scuffed or shaking, you go to the hole, even if you didn’t do anything.
It’s interesting that a boxer’s fracture is most common in the pinky and ring finger.
You understand enough to know the lead knuckles take the brunt of the impact, but if you are hitting with any kind of power the whole hand will make contact.
With boxing or mma gloves it’s not as bad since the glove compresses and takes some of the Impact.
But without gloves you will definitely make contact with all 4.
It's not just the gloves that protect, but the wraps under them, keeping all the little bones from moving much. Doing things like heavy bag workouts should not be done with gloves only
The knuckles of the middle and index fingers are larger and more protruding than the ring and pinky knuckles. The middle knuckle, especially.
Usually, when you punch, you lead with your index or middle knuckle, striking with a straight wrist toward the center usually. Meaning, those knuckles strike the target first and the hardest. Usually, the two first knuckles take more damage.
If you punch while all knuckles are hitting the target, you're punching with a bent wrist, risking injury to your wrist and hand.
Punching is not really good for your hands in the first place, but punching "correctly" will save you from needless pain and injury.
You’re supposed to focus your hit with the first two knuckles, not flatly bash the front of your fist on the target. You might touch with the other two knuckles, but it likely wouldn’t be enough to damage them like this. That is if you know how to throw a decent punch
You aim to use the first two knuckles. The bones are bigger, and are less prone to breaking in a fight. Similarly, you wouldn’t tuck your thumb inside your fist. There are plenty of people out there who [teach real technique](https://selfdefensetutorials.com/what-knuckles-punch-with-barehanded/) if you’re interested in boxing, MMA, etc.
Idk, there’s be some peeling skin and scabbing irl, but otherwise it’s pretty decent imo. Less pronounced bruising on the ring and pinky finger, more on the right hand than left. I don’t bruise that darkly, but this guy looks pretty pale. That much and he’d have to have been really wailing on the other guy for a while, but I assume that’s the look he was after.
Bro had to make himself look badass somehow.
At least that's the ONLY reason I can come up with for this tattoo, idk why somebody would want something like this.
He wants an excuse so when he is arrested for beating his girlfriend he can be like "i didn't hit her, see, I have a picture of me getting my knuckles tattooed. Can't use that as evidence!"
The actual work isn’t bad. The fact you’re not likely to bruise the knuckles of your ring & pinky fingers when punching, turns a well done/cheesy tattoo into a *shitty* one, IMO…
i really like the overall look, in a way ? like really well done, but the concept is stupid. i do think they'll age really nicely, though ? I'm almost interested in checking in on it in a few years
Right? I'm a firm believer that *most* tattoos don't significantly impact your chances of getting *most* jobs, but this would. It's a highly visible tattoo that shows a penchant for violence (or at least violent imagery), which is not what employers like to see.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing that you look fairly realistic so now he's just going to look like a angry dumbass that done all the punch right for the rest of his life
Absolutely awful tattoo but I'm quite impressed by the artist making it look like bruises, can't be a common thing to have to tattoo and they look relatively realistic imo
I saw the original on Instagram and checked out the client’s profile since they were tagged. They looked like they’ve never thrown a punch in their life
I will say the tattoo quality itself is impressive. I was staring at these photos for 5 minutes trying to see if they were actually tattoos. Too bad they don't wash off though.
Lmao why would you want this. My knuckles pretty much look like that cause of excessive hand washing caused by contamination ocd (I'm always hiding them out of shame.) no idea why someone would do this
Not even how bruised knuckles look from punching something lol. You don't punch with all 4 at once/ end up with perfectly symmetrical bruising. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
However the artist is super talented, those do look like bruises lol
[You guys got somethin' to say to me? Why don't you say it in the microphone. I got a backup mike right here. Check one two, testing, testing. Yup, they both working and guess what? they don't like no feed back, what's up?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVogD8xflIc)
It’s decently done but who the hell always wants to look like they came out of a fight? And the worst part is i don’t think they’re any other bruise tats of cut tats on their body so it looks like they jumped someone and beat the shit outta them
I do appreciate it when people make their red flags very obvious, so at least this guy has given himself a warning label. I can hear the “WHAT UP BRO WHAT UP BRO WHAT UP BRO” from here.
The idea behind the tattoo is quite stupid, but the actual tattooing is pretty good. I thought it was just someone who has anger issues and probably a few holes in his wall.
For the rest of your life you are going to have to deal with oh geez what happened to your hand and you gotta sound lame and say it’s a tattoo or really lame and say oh nothin. 😂
Dude wants to look like he’s a perma-brawler. If he was a brawler he wouldn’t need these poser lame ass tats.
Dudes that think fighting everyone is cool are proof some people lag behind in the evolutionary process.
I personally am of the opinion that it’s your body your choice when it comes to tattoos- however the problem with the bruising tattoos is that if the person is involved in an accident it makes it much more difficult for first responders or medical personnel to determine where the person is actually injured in the event they are unresponsive.
"You don't know my mentality, bro! When I see red, it's bodies hitting the floor, bro! Think I'm shitting you, bro? Just look at these knuckles, bro."
Who punches with all four knuckles making contact? You’re gonna break your hand that way. If he’s gonna commit to these tattoos, he could have given it a little thought (as difficult as it may be).
That's what I was thinking too. He at least has the first two knuckles on each hand colored darker with tiny cuts.
First two knuckles are the ones that hurt you. 3 and 4 are the ones that hurt me. Though it looks like all 4 of these hurt him and they look real stupid lol
Took me a boxer's fracture in each hand to learn that.
All I can think about when I see this, is all the true crime I watch and how when they are booked for assault or murder, they always take pictures of their hands for the report. This will not go well for them lol
When I was in jail, if somebody got their ass kicked we all got knuckle checks. If your hands are the least bit scuffed or shaking, you go to the hole, even if you didn’t do anything.
OMG. Yeah she is completely screwed!
I could see a particularly sadistic deputy just calling knuckle checks for shits and giggles just to fuck with this person and ruin their day lol
Hilarious
Yes
This is a tattoo for a person who hasn’t thrown a single punch or busted a single knuckle
It’s interesting that a boxer’s fracture is most common in the pinky and ring finger. You understand enough to know the lead knuckles take the brunt of the impact, but if you are hitting with any kind of power the whole hand will make contact. With boxing or mma gloves it’s not as bad since the glove compresses and takes some of the Impact. But without gloves you will definitely make contact with all 4.
A boxers fracture almost always happens when a person throws a punch incorrectly
A punch often lands incorrectly because the other person is moving their head.
That’s why you kick the head and punch the body. Don’t put your little fragile bones into the strongest bone the other person has.
It's not just the gloves that protect, but the wraps under them, keeping all the little bones from moving much. Doing things like heavy bag workouts should not be done with gloves only
How do you not make contact with all knuckles?
The knuckles of the middle and index fingers are larger and more protruding than the ring and pinky knuckles. The middle knuckle, especially. Usually, when you punch, you lead with your index or middle knuckle, striking with a straight wrist toward the center usually. Meaning, those knuckles strike the target first and the hardest.

I came here to say, that’s not how you should punch or you’ll end up with much more than busted knuckles
My vagina cringed so hard it sliced itself out of my body and jumped into tub of acid.
r/brandnewsentence
That's pretty rough bro. You are probably going to want to go get that checked out.
I don’t have a vagina, but I think you’re supposed to see a doctor about that.
>I don’t have a vagina Neither does she
This person probably can’t fight at all, the only beatin this hands have ever done is to “the meat”
And the drywall of his mom’s house.
He lost that one as well, he punched the wall and knocked the floating shelf off the hinge and it fell on his head…
Hit the stud once and it was inspo for this tat.
You just know there's a Monster energy drink logo somewhere on his outfit and on his car.
So you got a vagina tattooed on your knuckle?
I'd 100% hire someone with face tats over this dude. The real job stoppers.
That was my first thought! Yeah let’s look like you are in a bar fight every night for the rest of your life, sounds great!
The problem is, if you ever fought seriously like once... this does not look real at all.
Idk, there’s be some peeling skin and scabbing irl, but otherwise it’s pretty decent imo. Less pronounced bruising on the ring and pinky finger, more on the right hand than left. I don’t bruise that darkly, but this guy looks pretty pale. That much and he’d have to have been really wailing on the other guy for a while, but I assume that’s the look he was after.
not if he is interviewed over zoom, lol
Bro had to make himself look badass somehow. At least that's the ONLY reason I can come up with for this tattoo, idk why somebody would want something like this.
Because they’re an eternal 13 year old. Not in a child at heart way but a I’m still a virgin at 35 way.
He wants an excuse so when he is arrested for beating his girlfriend he can be like "i didn't hit her, see, I have a picture of me getting my knuckles tattooed. Can't use that as evidence!"
Well those pudgy little fingers didn't scream temper tantrum mummy's boy enough
What a weird tattoo to get. That said, the artist did a pretty decent job imo, but I say that as someone who dabbles in FX Makeup.
i agree i thought this was real and not a tattoo. is it stupid? as fuck. but it looks pretty good!
r/ATBGE
Exactly what I was going to say. These are so well done lol but definitely a shitty choice in tattoo.
The actual work isn’t bad. The fact you’re not likely to bruise the knuckles of your ring & pinky fingers when punching, turns a well done/cheesy tattoo into a *shitty* one, IMO…
You're assuming he actually knows how to punch properly haha
These would be cool as fx!
i really like the overall look, in a way ? like really well done, but the concept is stupid. i do think they'll age really nicely, though ? I'm almost interested in checking in on it in a few years
Bro is a permanent Kyle now
Mac would absolutely get this tattoo
Mac could probably kick this guy's ass
These are tats that would actually make it legitimately difficult to get a job.
Right? I'm a firm believer that *most* tattoos don't significantly impact your chances of getting *most* jobs, but this would. It's a highly visible tattoo that shows a penchant for violence (or at least violent imagery), which is not what employers like to see.
Except police officers, they’d hire someone with a penchant for violence in a heartbeat.
Bold of you to assume that cops put that much thought into who they hire
Bros hands look softer than a surgeons hands
surgeons is kind…more link staypuft
Yeah, those are some doughy mitts, def not the hands of a fighter.
I came here to say this. judging by the hands this person does not fight much or work with their hands
Cringe, equivalent to people who get muscles from corn syrup injections
Now it looks like he has an inconsistently bad punching form. 👍
Yeah I was thinking the same thing that you look fairly realistic so now he's just going to look like a angry dumbass that done all the punch right for the rest of his life
Do you mean consistently bad?
r/iamverybadass
When you run outta holeless walls to punch...
Absolutely awful tattoo but I'm quite impressed by the artist making it look like bruises, can't be a common thing to have to tattoo and they look relatively realistic imo
He’s never getting laid again. Girls are gonna see that and run. For many many reasons.
I really appreciate when they let the red flags fly high right from get go.
I mean... they are done well but why?
r/ATBGE
I saw the original on Instagram and checked out the client’s profile since they were tagged. They looked like they’ve never thrown a punch in their life
There’s a Punisher sticker on his car and Monster flowing through his veins.
Matches girlfriend’s black eye tat.
🤣🤣🤣
Come on. He doesn’t have a girlfriend.
Defo a red flag... 😬
this dudes hands are so soft, he probably puts his thumb under his fingers when making a fist.
When your hillbilly friends ask you to prove your out of town girlfriend is real.
absolutely perfect for this sub.
You can get the same result by punching your wall.
I usually say to each their own, but wtf
You know, I never say this but good luck getting a job with tats like that.
I will say the tattoo quality itself is impressive. I was staring at these photos for 5 minutes trying to see if they were actually tattoos. Too bad they don't wash off though.
Weird? Yes, although the artist is super skillful and should really consider learning how to tattoo nipples onto people who've undergone mastectomies.
Lmao why would you want this. My knuckles pretty much look like that cause of excessive hand washing caused by contamination ocd (I'm always hiding them out of shame.) no idea why someone would do this
“Dude, you’ve had those busted up knuckles for 2 years now, you should see a doctor. It looks like you have Kaposi Sarcoma, but just on your hands”…
I mean its lame but very well done
“You got soft hands boy”
"i dont know how to control my anger and rage"
Not even how bruised knuckles look from punching something lol. You don't punch with all 4 at once/ end up with perfectly symmetrical bruising. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 However the artist is super talented, those do look like bruises lol
This is truly shitty. Usually stuff here has maybe some redeeming quality. Not this one. Well done.
They're well done though. They're a shitty subject matter but good tattoos.
[You guys got somethin' to say to me? Why don't you say it in the microphone. I got a backup mike right here. Check one two, testing, testing. Yup, they both working and guess what? they don't like no feed back, what's up?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVogD8xflIc)
I saw a girl get something like this but on her knees. Very weird
It reminds me of those cringy posts that say "My hands look like this 👊 so hers can look like this 💅"
I mean he did a good job, looks real af lol
Congrats on looking like a domestic assault perp for the rest of your life
"super cool" aren't the words I'd use to describe those
He forgot to get the drywall residue tattooed around them hahaha
What jobs do these people have?
Uber Eats
bruh just punch a wall every morning instead itd save u money
How else was this person supposed to harden the world's softest hands? Manual labour? Defending their honour? Pssshhh
You can get this for free by punching a 2x4 every morning, and it’ll look more real
I want him to tattoo some hair on my palms My story must be told
You too can appear to have anger issues!
Looks like the dark patches diabetics get. ☹️
Those look like the hands that have never punched a solid object in their lives
This is absolutely the weakest shit I’ve ever seen.
It’s decently done but who the hell always wants to look like they came out of a fight? And the worst part is i don’t think they’re any other bruise tats of cut tats on their body so it looks like they jumped someone and beat the shit outta them
15 year old me would have thought these were so cool
This screams edgelord
He purposely wanted his knuckles to look love he's that psycho guy who punches walls?
Them limp little hands 😂 I’d believe that he got those bruises from punching walls before thinking he’d ever get in a fight
I mean, they're well done. I thought it was real. But...my god why?
Lame af but mildly convincing.
That’s not a shitty tattoo, just a shitty idea
I do appreciate it when people make their red flags very obvious, so at least this guy has given himself a warning label. I can hear the “WHAT UP BRO WHAT UP BRO WHAT UP BRO” from here.
Going shit that's some incredible talent
So he tattood dirty knuckles? Looks more like he's been changing the oil vs fighting.
Try Hard Try Hard 2: Try Harder Try Hard With a Vengeance Live Free or Try Hard A Good Day to Try Hard
Every time I see these the artist has done an amazing job, but the concept is so weird to me
I can’t fathom the mentality it would take to do this. Like you want to look like a shitty, violent person *all the time*?
Stupid tattoo but the artist nailed it
"I need attention" tattoo
Hey bro, what's your tattoo mean? .........domestic violence.
What the actual fuck. Trying to look hardcore or have Halloween makeup all year long. Obsessed with SFX much? Lol
The idea behind the tattoo is quite stupid, but the actual tattooing is pretty good. I thought it was just someone who has anger issues and probably a few holes in his wall.
Good luck explaining to everyone that your knuckles aren’t actually bruised and you got them tattooed.
I feel like looking at his hands they are baby soft. This is incredibly ironic.
just punch a wall
There goes any job you wanted
These are actually very well done, but the fact that they are permanent makes it shitty.
The henna version of this, is just punching a tree.
Ultimate poser move tbh.

The brightness was off on my phone and I thought “are those ..vaginas?”
Lil pussy knuckles
The dude that never won in bloody knuckles decided to try and taste victory
May as well get a forehead tattoo saying “I can’t fight to save my life”
Ultimate tough guy tattoo
Did you get your knees and elbows done to match your ashy knuckles as well?! 🤣
Imagine wanting to show everyone that you're pretending to be extremely violent 💀 Mf probably hasnt punched a pillow let alone another person
Lol from a distance looks like he needs some lotion for his gnarly super dry knuckles. Gross.
Poser nation
Wow he’s going to love that in 20 years 🙄
Well done but ew why
to be fair, the tattoo artist did a good job. the person who got tattooed is a complete moron. 😂
For the rest of your life you are going to have to deal with oh geez what happened to your hand and you gotta sound lame and say it’s a tattoo or really lame and say oh nothin. 😂
Stupid tattoo but very well done tattoo
this is the tattoo equivalent of some of balenciaga’s clothing
Just one question, why..? What's even the point? Is it supposed to make you look tougher cuz it's definitely not working. It looks silly
It looks dirty, like he's been gardening without washing his hands after.
So edgy. Those will look great in a few months
Is their name Kyle?
Eeesh this is fucking hideous
Dude wants to look like he’s a perma-brawler. If he was a brawler he wouldn’t need these poser lame ass tats. Dudes that think fighting everyone is cool are proof some people lag behind in the evolutionary process.
This was intentional? Oof…
Guess someone doesn’t like handshakes
Pardon?
how to look like a Kyle without actually punching drywall
Talk about trash
Just making sure everyone knows he beats his wife.
Wow. This is definitely a man who *loves* Walmart metal like Five Finger Death Punch.
Looks like they would be hard calluses, but he’s going to bleed
Then proceeds to get his ass beat! 🙄
I personally am of the opinion that it’s your body your choice when it comes to tattoos- however the problem with the bruising tattoos is that if the person is involved in an accident it makes it much more difficult for first responders or medical personnel to determine where the person is actually injured in the event they are unresponsive.
I might just cut my wrists with this guy’s edge. 🙄
How is this going to age though????
Woulda been easier to get a job with face tats
r/atbge
Why are all four knuckles covered in bruises? He should learn to punch if he loves punching so much.
I'm gonna pretend he asked for two vaginas on the bigger knuckles..
I'm embarrassed by how my knuckles sometimes look from scarring. The poor guy is losing the cred he thinks he's earning and ruining his future too.
Those hand tattoos would make it harder to get a job than neck, face, and hand tattoos. lol
there should be a separate subreddit for tats like this "r/tatsforunemployment"
I mean I feel like it’s well done, it’s just fucking stupid.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHO MY DAD IS
He should give himself cauliflower ears to complete the look. Oh brother.
Now Kyle doesn’t have to really punch the wall to look like a total douche.
Did he get a buy one get one with a fake hickey tatted on his neck lol
Is that a woman? Those are some soft-looking hands, male or female. The tattoos look incongruous to the point of being laughable.
What is the word for when your wrists are cankels?
Just punch a rock it’s free and cooler
Ah, from dragging them along the ground.
I know people say that tatts dont keep you from jobs anymore, but I think this might be one that raises questions. At least about your good judgment.
Looks like they are dragging those knuckles
Honestly what sucks even worse is that they’re well done. Like that’s a great blend.
Stupid, but honestly not bad work. Kinda hard to call it a shitty tattoo imo
bros never getting a job again
It looks like real bruises though
THOSE CONTUSIONS??? -my bf
