It’s said that the windows are the eyes to the soul. If that’s the case, then the women in these tattoos have no soul. An artist who goes by the name Slumdog creates these eerie portraits where vintage-inspired style and porcelain skin is offset by blank or black eyes. This is a welcome twist to more traditional pinup tattoos, which emphasize femininity and beauty. Slumdog’s subversive take is an eerie and gothic way on this staple of body art.
