A Black And Grey pinup-fest!

I got a great email from Ruben, who has a nice collection of pinup tattoos done by some top-class artists.

This beautiful Pearl Frush lady was done by Steve Soto from Good Fellas Tattoo Shop, Orange, CA.


The Gil Elvgren Piece above was done by Tom Clarke at Ace's High in Fullerton, CA.


Also by Tom Clarke, the Marilyn Monroe portrait above.


And this is how they tie together! Some wicked ink there, thanks!

Bluebird Tuesday

Johanna Bluebird puts her unique spin on a couple of Gil Elvgren pinups.

Ginger, spicy!

I love all the details in this Stefanos tattoo!

Braaaaaaaains! (And looks, too!)

Combing two of my favourite pinup elements, ore new school loveliness in this Day of The Dead zombie girl from Douglas Billian.

We've gone international!

This zombie lady was sent to me by tattooist Julia Seizure from Star Crossed Tattoo in Hong Kong, done at the Singapore convention. Thanks!

Pig Out!

I thought Cornfed's best work was in Duckman, but since that got cancelled he's obviously sidelining in a bit of inkslinging.

Red Hot

This simple but very pretty pinup was done by Cara Massacre, whose increasingly impressive work we have seen before.

I Should Be In The Kitchen

Another tattooist who has been featured heavily here is Hannah Aitchison. This is one of my favourite Hannah tattoos, which was done on LA Ink. I love the text too!

Tikipedia

Another superbly detailed Gil Elvgren peice from Cecil Porter

OctoMilf and The Bandit

A couple of new, sleazy Mark Dupp pinups...

Miaow!

Weird Joe Capobianco cat-lady!

Lucky Lady

Nice gambling themed piece from Vinny Burkhart.

Snow Good

New Joe Capobianco Snow Queen.

Hello Sailor!

Anon reader submission, done at Ed Hardy's Tattoo City, San Francisco.

Under The SeaWeed

Another classic Mike De Masi Piece, he of the pink lady in the 'submit your tattoo' pic on the right.

Bend Over and Cough

Another, more cartoony nurse from Johanna

Check Out My Post

To be honest, most of the tattoos uploaded to Check Out My Ink are, to put it mildly, shit. But I had a look through the pinup category and picked out a selection of the best....






I'm a huge fan of the second pic, wonder who that's by?

Something In My Rocket

New from blog favourite Tony Ciavarro.

Mother Nature

A classic Sean Herman piece.

Perky Plumage

Classic old school, wonderfully crisp, from a new tattooist to the blog, Shakey Pete. You can also find an excellent owl he did on Owl Tattoos.

Not Ugly Bettie

Bettie Page, as rendered by Pinup master Steve Soto

Plane Gash (sorry)

And finally for today, a wicked rib-piece done by realistic king Cecil Porter.

Channelling Jime

Derek Zielinski's Jime Litwalk inspired piece.

Smiley Happy Pinup

Chris Burnett chanelling the Joker, perhaps. Previously featured here.

Rudey Nudey!

An impish lady from Josh Woods

Why so serious?

Rachi Brains with a sad-looking lady.

Pirates Life for Me!

The above is a superb reader submission, sent in by Jen and done by Tim Harris, Hope Gallery Tattoo in New Haven, CT.

Liberty Belle

Old School flash-style from LA Ink's Corey Miller.

Back That Ass Up!

HUGE back pinup from Emma Kierzek.

Booty Shakin'

New School at its best, from Leah Moule.

I've got the thorn!

Another wonderful piece from Nikko Hurtado!

Holy Smoke

Nice and Simple from Jason Vaughan

Dead Sexy

I love this Zombie Marilyn Monroe, done by Jason Butcher. Marilyn is probably one of the most popular icons for pinup tattoos, even entering the world of celebrity, on Megan Fox(y), below. Although for some reason she didn't go for the zombie option.

The Magic of Colour!

Returning to colour tattoos, the uninspiringly named James Tattoo with a particularly inspired motorsport piece

Themetacular

Some recentish Joe Capobianco girls...
