Coming Up Rosey

...and the wonderful Marilyn portrait below is followed by possibly the best ever tattooist submission, which comes from Anabi Tattoo in Poland. Again, whoah.

Some Like It Hot!

This next tattoo could be the best reader submission I've ever recieved. Veronica's wonderful Marilyn Monroe portrait was done by Stefano Alcantara of Last Rites, NY. Whoah. It puts Megan Fox's arm into context, for sure.

Kat Power

Kat Von D might get a lot of criticism in the tattoo world, but some of her portraits are still phenomenal. These are two of my favourites of hers, Sharon Tate and Eliza Dushku respectively.

Dead Sexy

I love this Zombie Marilyn Monroe, done by Jason Butcher. Marilyn is probably one of the most popular icons for pinup tattoos, even entering the world of celebrity, on Megan Fox(y), below. Although for some reason she didn't go for the zombie option.

This beautiful Pearl Frush lady was done by Steve Soto from Good Fellas Tattoo Shop, Orange, CA.


The Gil Elvgren Piece above was done by Tom Clarke at Ace's High in Fullerton, CA.


Also by Tom Clarke, the Marilyn Monroe portrait above.
