Not sure when it started to be like that (not in the 1930's, unless the photos were retouched), but they all are now.
Maybe it was from the original pinup girls from all those years ago...as I understand it pinup girl tattoos on men were all the rage. Military guys used to get their favorite pinup girl tattooed on their arms.
Maybe that's where modern day retro-pinup girls got that from?
