I'm wanting to add a small image of a pin up girl to my half sleeve I've started, but am having a hard time finding anything. I'd like a more modern style pin up girl, but anything will do because I plan on customising it to suit me. Any help is appreciated.
Oh, I already looked at tattoojohnnys.com and didnt find anything good.

Have you looked at art work by Olivia? Maybe that is too old school in feel. There are some photographers that are working in that style maybe do a google image search and see what you find. Maybe look at the Suicide Girls web site for inspiration.

Betty Page is the classic pin-up girl. Not so "modern" but still makes for a kick-*** sleeve. I've seen hundreds of people with her image on them.

Kat designed one on Miami Ink and it toatally rocked. I think if you go to any reputable artist and explain what you want they should be able to come up with an amazing sketch.
I also agree if you google "pin up girl" under "images" you will probably come up with quite a few.

Have you tried just searching for images of pin up girls?
I don't know if libraries carry them, but there are lots of books that are all pin up girl pictures. You might want to buy one of them. Have you looked at Joe Capobianco's work for inspiration? He's got a book or two (or more, I really don't know) out.

why not look for an actual pinup picture and not just a tattoo flash of one? that way it would be more custom. there are tons of photography places that does pinup style stuff and i'm sure you could find something that would work for you.
