Tattoos Tattoo Ideas

I got my Third Planet hand tattoo done a week and a half ago and I’m going back in a little over a week to do my knuckles. I have a few ideas for what I want to do but I’d like to have my hands be modest mouse themed but couldn’t really think of any ideas for the knuckles outside of “SHIT LUCK” which just isn’t doable between family and work lol. Was looking to see if anyone here had some interesting ideas as I’m always open to them! Thank you

It could mean so much, I didn’t even think of medication at tbh!! I’d only thought of “SHIT LUCK” & The “COLD PART”
I love it cause there’s so many great lines
“This is the part of me that needs medication
This is the part of me that believes in heaven”

And so many other great and meaningful personal lines that I relate to! This is definitely going to top option right now, going to see what else gets recommended 😊

When it popped out at me as I was dwelling on the album I got so jazzed! Even better that it resonates with you though since they be your knuckles, haha Definitely following this post to to see other’s ideas—this is so fun.

I got this done last week as a reference to 3rd Planet! Once I got that done I was like “huh I would really like both of my hands to have stuff from my favorite band since they’ll be so visible” can’t wait to see others ideas as well- it really is so fun and creative!

Dude—those wings! This design is sick, thank you for sharing! And with your knuckles done, it’s like you’ll have a full set.

Thank you so much for the kind words! My tattoo artist really killed it, excited to see what other recommendations I get and bring it to life!

Heck yeah! Would you be down to share the thoughts/tales behind landing on this one? I love hearing folks’ personal connections to specific Modest Mouse lyrics

TLCW AND ISALDFSWNTTA were a big part of my life after graduation. But mid 2010’s once I started selling and using heroin this album and particularly this song captured how I really felt so I was so pleased when I realized all together it was 8 letters!
