Some help with this one.

Who would peeps recommend for a pin up in Dublin??

Looking ot get a Pinup on my lower arm in the style of the 1940`s type pin ups.

Its going to be basically Wonderwoman done in that style but I want it to look as close to Linda Carter as I can so I need a realy good artist.

Help appreciated.

I went to Darren in colourworks for my last pinup, I'd strongly recommend him.
And I'm going in again to him on Saturday to get another pinup done, getting it done on my lower arm as well.:)

rob in snakebite has a big interest in old style pin ups. His wife even does hair / make-up / styling and shoots modern day re-creations. It would be worth dropping in and having a word with him. Great artist and someone with a passion for the theme.

Thats scary.

Heres the exact one I want.In colour--But it has to look exactly like Linda Carter.

Are pinups in general a bit gay(hate that phrase but have to use it here) looking on a bloke though??

nah, that tattoo says more that you're into dominatrix. You'll have rough prisoner cell block H type women buying you drink at the bar and challenging you to arm wrestles. :pac:

I don't think they are 'gay' looking at all on blokes. I'd say go for it:)

I was going to wait until June/July when Im back in Spain and get the lad that did my Sugar Skull to do it--he does amazing work--but it was a pain not being able to swim etc the year I got that done.

I have had two pin-ups done by Tommy in classic ink, black and grey, will post photos in the next couple of days (am between thirteen hour shifts right now).
