DeviantART: Pin-Up Playing Cards by Jeff Chapman

These are Pin-Up playing card Queens created by an American artist, Jeff Chapman (Jeffach). He is a big admirer of women proceeding from his artworks. The queens happened to be vivid with substantial tattoos. Bathroom is quite intimate place to meet them. But don’t be sure that you have been able to catch these ladies unawares 🙂 … and the Queen of Diamonds is such a queen of diamonds – she doesn’t part with her diamonds even in her shower.
