Cappy Christmas!
Joe Capobianco isn't just one of the most well-known pinup tattoo artists, but my personal favourite. So for Christmas, I thought I'd show a few of his early works, to get that festive spirit into you! Happy Christmas!

The Dark Ages
The picture quality isn't up to snuff, but I'm too big a fan of Derek Noble's Old School work to not post these...

Vamp Collector
Paul Acker's realistic vampires are a touch good, no? Wonderful use of colour, although I suppose I'm straining to call them pin-ups, perhaps.

Bettie Page RIP
It's a sad day in Pin-up Land, as the queen of them all, Bettie Page, passed away today. Lets celebrate her by reminding ourselves of the times she's already been in the blog, and have one more for the road, by Marc Vienneau.
EDIT: Needled have a great tribute, with a link to Inked's gallery of Bettie tattoos.

Don't know who did this, but the pinup in question is former carer and fellatrix for Hugh Hefner, 106, Bridgette Marquardt.

Faster Pussycat Kill Kill!
I love this cheetahprinted pinup from Chip Rutz, someone who I only discovered for the first time today. His portfolio is shit hot!

Good Pin-up Bad Pin-up
I was hoping not to include bad tattoo art in this blog, but this, from Horrible Tattoos was too good to pass up. I particularly like his caption...
"Are you sure that my tattoo will look exactly like this one ?"
"Sure, sure relax..."

Batter Up!
This tattoo by Robert Hixon is about the only thing that could get me even slightly interested in baseball.

Mmm, niffy!
This is a great tattoo, but I suppose If I had to have one of Jem, I'd have a random set of buttocks farting in her face too. Good work Steve Monie!

Si!
And just to get something slightly classier at the top of the blog, this gorgeous senorita was done by Ben Grillo.

And now for something a little different....
Not quite 'pin-up', I admit, but the cute expression is rendered so well, I had to include it. By Hector Cedillo.
