“Knucks” by Frank Chimero — Tattly™ Designy Temporary Tattoos
Temporary tattoos are the only kind I can really get behind:
Knucks is basically a 4x6 sheet of pure gangsta. Mix and match the four letter phrases to create unique statements on your knuckles. With 22 words per sheet, you can create 11 full, two hand knuckle messages with each sheet. Knucks takes fist bumps to a whole new level.
Props to Tattly for using “designy” in their tagline — it is a dumb word, but it is the perfect word. (Check out my buddy Chris’s tat, too.)
Also, for context, Radio Raheem in Do The Right Thing, who’s playing off Robert Mitchum’s classic monologue in The Night Of The Hunter:
Ah, little lad, you’re staring at my fingers. Would you like me to tell you the little story of right-hand/left-hand? The story of good and evil? H-A-T-E! It was with this left hand that old brother Cain struck the blow that laid his brother low. L-O-V-E! You see these fingers, dear hearts? These fingers has veins that run straight to the soul of man. The right hand, friends, the hand of love. Now watch, and I’ll show you the story of life. Those fingers, dear hearts, is always a-warring and a-tugging, one agin t’other. Now watch ‘em! Old brother left hand, left hand he’s a fighting, and it looks like love’s a goner. But wait a minute! Hot dog, love’s a winning! Yessirree! It’s love that’s won, and old left hand hate is down for the count!
