Just happened upon this blog of pin-up tattoos. Decent selection of styles and approaches to the subject. Might be handy smile.gif

Ironic, I just ran across that bolg myself the other day, wasnt what I was looking for at the time but had some great shit so I bookmarked it.

Hey while Im here, do you know of anywhere with a good collection of oldschool female heads? not the full pinups but more like the neck up stuff some here have been doing lately. I need some refferance but havent really found more than a handful here and there.

I ask you cause you always seems to have the best ref links

tattooflashbooks.com show some nice big photos of book pages, which are worth sifting through, but that's all I can think of right now, sorry.

Click 1, Click 2, Click 3, Click 4.

Sorry, that's probably not more than the handful you already found. If you go through the artists linked on swallowsndaggers.com you will probably find several.

Actually, while we're on the topic of pin-ups, I have a question.

I'm working on one at the moment, reasonably traditional in terms of her figure. Slightly exaggerated, almost plausible. It's a front view. She's nude but kinda strategically covered by a banner. What I'm having trouble deciding about is the boobs. Should they have cleavage or not? They aren't actually being supported by anything, so they seem a bit weird just pushed together by air... but I know that's often the way... still they just don't seem right. So, together or apart? Any opinions? (Can't post the pic coz it's for the Paper Trails book so it's secret-ish wink.gif )

Keep in mind that most pinup tattoos were drawn up for guys. There is no rhyme or reason when it comes to anatomy, just as long as there is cleavage.
