George asks…
I'm trying to find HD widescreen wallpapers for my 1440x900 resolution laptop. Specifically I'm looking for wallpapers of pin-up girls.
I should be more specific. Maybe the term I should use is burlesque, I'm really not sure. I mean like psychobilly/rockabilly girls - tattoos, corsets, pumps, stockings, piercings, etc - like suicide girls but styled after the models of the 1950s. Anybody know what I'm talking about?
I can find scattered pictures of girls here and there, but no site offering a selection of FREE, nice, high-def scans of pin-up girls. Anybody know of such a site? Thanks!
You want high-definition pics of tattooed and pierced chicks wearing corsets and pumps?
You may find something on google or google images: Type in something like tattooed chicks or tattooed pin-ups

Hi!...
I'm looking to get a tattoo of a `pin-up girl` on my leg. So I've looked and looked all over the internet and I cant seem to find what I'm looking for..
I don't just want the normal looking girl as I want her to be holding a gun or something. Looking mean and tough..
Anyway, I was hoping someone out there would know a good web site or maybe they have drawn one??.. Any advice would be great!
Go to your tattoo artist and explain to them what you want, maybe bring in a picture of a pin up girl that you somewhat like and then explain the changes you want done to here, they should be able to help you come up with something that you really like.
For a general selection of girl pin-up tattoos visit: http://www.tattoojohnny.com/search/pinup or http://www.tattoophotogalleries.com/index.php/component/option,com_datsogallery/Itemid,89/func,viewcategory/catid,23/

Susan asks…
here's an explanation of what i want so if you could draw that would be great
Location: left ribs Size: Height: Below the armpit to just before the waist, Width: size to be proportional to the height (basically the tattoo will take up my entire left rib area Color: Mostly Grayscale with an unnatural hair color (i.e. blue, purple, green, red), and if possible purple eyes Overview: So it’s a naked pin-up who is sitting with her legs slightly crossed and a hand covering her area. She has decent sized breasts but not huge and a slightly large derriere. She is covered, and I mean covered in tattoos, almost a full body suit status. Tattoos everywhere except the face. She has ears, and nipple piercings (loops for the nipples) and a lip and eyebrow ring. She also has a naval piercing with something chainy (as opposed to just a jewel in the belly button) and a nose piercing (the curved type that comes out both the nostrils) Sidenotes: For the tattoos, mostly tribal would work but a nice rose piece is a must (kinda like Kat Von D) and it doesn’t matter where but the more assorted her tattoos are, the better. For the piercings, they don’t all have to be there but the more the better and the nipple and lip piercings must be there If possible, her (hipbones I think they are) must be showing, like when you see a thin girl the bump on each side of her lower stomach

Sandra asks…
So I plan on getting a full ribcage tattoo of a girl in the links below, but I cant find any origin to the name or anything. Is there any meaning or real person behind her?

These are fabulous works of art. You probably will find the answer by looking at the flash that was used to make these tattoos. They usually have the artist's name on them....
Helen asks…
I mean, they used to look like this in the '50s:

And now they look like this:

Why is it that pin up girls nowadays always have the indie haircut and loads of tattoos?
Well today's 'pin-up' is more of a classic style of photography, it really could be of any one. But the pinup style of photography is kind of 'campy' now, and thus people with alternative styles tend to frequent it more. There is something ironic about the classic perfect 50's pin-up being turned into goth, punk or zombie themed, and that's what makes it interesting.
But 'pin up' today as just changed into basic 'modeling'. Though today the models show a lot more skin.
Examples of modern pinup:

http://image.sporttruck.com/f/10066219/0804st_z+mercedes_terrell+2008_pinup.jpg
But also... The 50s wasn't as 'non-goth' as you would think. Lets not forget the infamous Bettie Page. It was her that really inspires the modern 'goth pinup' styles of today.

http://images.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/20081205/293.page.bettie.lr.120508.jpg
And there are lots of more 'racey' photos of her in bondage etc.
So really pin up today isn't mainly goth by any means. It's just reflecting today as it did the fifties two different styles of pinup. Actually, I think there are so many different types of pin-ups today we maybe in Pin-up art heavan....

Jenny asks…
What was the pin up artists name who did all of the girl next door pictures?
You ar probably thinking of pin-up artist Gil Elvgren who did many pinups of women in normal situation - such as the "Girl Next Door." He also did a lot of good work for Coca Cola...
Donald asks…
I'm not talking about the people from today who try to draw things that look vintage, I am talking about artists from the past.
Also, do guys (and girls) find tattoos unpleasant on women?
Really too many to try to list - I have a whole website here dedicated to this subject... For a taste here are a few names to consider:
Alberto Vargas is, perhaps, one of the most well known pin-up artist. Boris Vallejo Gil Elvgren Vaughn Alden Bass Charles Gibson George Petty, originator of the "Petty Girl" Fritz Willis Earl Moran
Here is a web site with more names: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pin-up_artists.
Regarding tattoos - there is a lot of art expressed in tattoos and I admire both art and the human body... Today, it seems that most young people (people 30 something on down to young people - teenagers) either have tattoos, piercings or both. So that sorta of answers that question.
Actually, I am a little old fashioned - I like my art on the wall.... And it should be noted that that without covering makeup, a tattoo will disqualify a model from many jobs (exception Suicide Girls Models - but name any advertiser who uses these models in a national advertising campaign.)
Im looking for someone around the ACT or NSW who is good at pin up or traditional tattoos. if anyone knows of some good artists and or shops that would be cool. I'm a fan of traveling around to places I can get to to get tattooed and yeah i'd like to find the right person to do this. Even if someone has some pics of tats they got?
I don't recognize those acronyms, but since you said you like to travel I thought I'd mention. In the US, Joe Capobianco is really famous for pin-up work. He's in Connecticut.

Also, you could try this website and search the portfolios of tattoo artists in the pin up category.

Ken asks…
If your looking for vintage pin-ups, try Joyce Ballantyne, Alberto Vargas, Peter Driben, and Gil Elvgren. Again, really too many to list, but I will mention one more name: Olivia de Berardinis
