While I would have to agree that "pinup" is, most often, something that evokes a 1940's sort of feel, I would also have to wonder why?

While I doubt I would view the OP's photos as "pinup", I have to wonder why something which looks more modern couldn't be "pinup".

Or is it something which can only be from that era, say, as "flapper" is only going to come out of the 1920's?

Right, we know what most commonly constitutes "pinup".

The question for me is whether or not anything else can...

Totally off the cuff, here, but...

When I think about it, pinup evokes "sexy and mature with some innocence". So... a woman sitting scandalously in her underwear with a tattoo doesn't evoke pinup for me. It evokes "Hey, sexy chick in her bra!"

I think some of the pinups were more scantily dressed- and I think that for the time period it was probably as evocative as a woman in her bra would be now- maybe more so- but because of my modern sensibilities those sexy images have a very different feel.

Just some thoughts... *shrug*

I think that guy Welcome to My Website Robert Alvarado would disagree

In regards the actual pictures posted:

I like number 1; it evokes an incredible sense of intimacy, the look on her face is sensual without cheap sexiness.

#2 is much less appealing. Her face is darker than her body, her head is sitting on her shoulders with no neck visible, two colors of underwear are discordant, the tattoos aren't used as part of the pose and so that looks careless but, most of all her legs are folded back and thus look chunky and unappealing.
My guess is that, with a better pose and some other things looked after, this subject would be incredibly 'pin-up'able
