This will depend very much on what you're idea of a "good job" is
I have a friend with massive tattoos on his hands and he's a successful welder, my cousin has her knuckles done and she's a hair stylist. Most trades and/or design type jobs are okay with tattoos.
It will limit you to most customer service type jobs, a lot of office type jobs. I would suggest establishing your career first and then doing it when you know what's okay and what isn't in your field.

First of all,yu meant to say wanna get my knuckles tattooed. jaja jus hadda say it :P
Anyway,if I were yu I'd wait on getting your knuckles tattooed. I also wanna get mine tattooed with "drop dead". But anyway,choose a job/career FIRST because almost ALL jobs don't hire anyone with visible tattoos. Yes its sad and people shouldn't be so narrow-minded sense tons of people have tattoos now a days,but that's just how the working life is! So plan out what job yu want,then do research to see if they allow tattoos in that field/business.
For example,I want to become an animal cop,officer or medical examiner. All of those look down upon tattoos,but as long as they can be covered I can get hired by one of those fields. So jus do some research on the job yu want. Now most lower type jobs will allow tattoos like hairstylists,fast food places,pet stores,auto shops etc. hope I helped and good luck!

Unless you want to put a serious limit on where you can go and what you can do in life ... please rethink it. It's sad and unfair but true ... people WILL judge you on your appearance. I love tattoos and I think that when they are well-done and appropriately displayed, they are stunning body art. But many people have such negative associations about tattoos, and they will make (probably false) assumptions about your character, your religion (or lack of), etc. It's certainly your decision, but if you have any hope of ever working with the public, such as banking, law, teaching, customer service, medicine, and many others, you will be hurting your chances of getting hired if you have a tattoo in a place you cannot cover. Even places such as restaurants ... tattoos on the hands are absolutely forbidden if you handle food/drinks and interact with customers. Hands and faces are the two most "forbidden" locations for tattoos in most companies' hiring guidelines.

Bro - get the good job FIRST! There are way too many narrow-minded people in charge and they influence each other which means you will get a negative response from a large percentage of employers with a visible tattoo, especially on public skin and knuckle tattoos are associated with gangs, bikers, and other unsavory (but fun!) characters. I fired a guy that worked in a tattoo shop because he wouldn't get a gang tattoo covered up or wear a glove to conceal it and I could not have that kind of symbolism in my shop because of customers really negative comments over it.

If you want to get your tattoos knuckled, start a fight with someone and try to make him hit your tattoos. I'm not sure why you'd want to do this, but that's the easiest way.
