Caitlin's Pin-up with a Heart on the Sleeve

Earlier this month, I ran into Caitlin as I got off the A train at West 4th Street. She has twnety-three tattoos and, as customary, I asked if she could pick one to share with us here on Tattoosday.<br /><br />She obliged, selecting this, her most recent tattoo:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDbMyhzYcbk6iU5sNcSkoAyVNmFtdpXDyITOmkUyJDGygV5KJ_PcgIlfB79r1BnnnXfsue6_qHi3UuH8rZ9PpYHkn7U8c5ZAfytXe0E4hmHQaPPGZ6MNCxIU9TKwGSAhrSilbNV4yO/s1600/caitlin+pinup+wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDbMyhzYcbk6iU5sNcSkoAyVNmFtdpXDyITOmkUyJDGygV5KJ_PcgIlfB79r1BnnnXfsue6_qHi3UuH8rZ9PpYHkn7U8c5ZAfytXe0E4hmHQaPPGZ6MNCxIU9TKwGSAhrSilbNV4yO/s640/caitlin+pinup+wm.jpg" width="368" /></a></div><br />This is based on the artwork of the pin-up stylings of <a href="http://www.baronvonlind.com/home.htm">Baron von Lind</a>.

If anyone knows who this is, or what shop he belongs to, please let me know so I can give the artist his proper due.<br /><br />Thanks to Caitlin for sharing her pin-up with us here on Tattoosday!<br /><br />Be sure to head over to the <a href="http://www.baronvonlind.com/home.htm">Baron von Lind website</a> to see more of his art.
