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!

Vamp Collector

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.

The McDonald’s Tattoo
