Flare Rib

Marilyn sent in this excellent submission, a Gil Elvgren piece by Jose Lopez at Lowrider Tattoo in Fountain Valley.

Poles Apart

A nice reader submission from Jakub from Poland. Tattoo by Batoon.

What about Bob?

Vintage Bob Tyrell

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!

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?

Back That Ass Up!

HUGE back pinup from Emma Kierzek.

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.

Holy Cowgirl!

Another Nikko Hurtado masterwork!

Beautiful Noise

New Dawnii

Unmasked Beauty

Another terrific piece from Anabi in Poland.

The Beautiful and The Damned

Nice 20s style pinup from Jason Butcher, looks like it was ripped from an F Scott Fitgerald cover.

Kat Power

Kat Von D might get a lot of criticism in the tattoo world, but some of her portraits are still phenomenal. These are two of my favourites of hers, Sharon Tate and Eliza Dushku respectively.
