Help!! Finding ideas for a horror inspired pin up girl tattoo

[Nat94]

Hello :) Does anyone know a good place to look for ideas for a tattoo, I'm going to get a horror inspired naked pin up girl, most likely zombie, but I can't find anything that I'm really impressed with, I'm not going to copy someone elses but I want to piece together different bits and pieces to make up one I'm happy with, it isn't gonna be massive just on my side.. Thanks :)

A friend of mine who's a tattooist specializes in that style so if you're ever in New Zealand you should book in and he'd sort you out something killer.

I would get some of the classic pinup artists work - so you can get the pose/style/costumes etc and bring that to an artist to make into a zombie.

This book by Taschen is a good palce to start:



When looking for an artist - look at their portfolio and make sure that they are good with that style of art.
