Hi
You are both right and wrong. :confused: (How is this for constructive advice)
My leaning would be to keep enough of the background recognisable (perhaps just a bit blurry) to have enough of the retro information contributing to the image so both the model and the setting form a unit to underline the intent of the creation. This is the "no" part of my answer.
The "yes" part of course makes sense also but I feel this would make more sense where the background is not so much of a retro look itself.
I better stop analysing otherwise I don't know myself in the end what I am talking about. :lol:
Cheers

Hi
All good, nothing wrong with the lighting and execution of the pics. In fact I like natural light photography, simply, to get good results often requires advanced photographic skills. You and your model have have done well to capture that "retro" look.
Unfortunately, in the true sense of authenticity, the model's body modifications don't do anything to enhance the retro spirit of the images.
What I will never understand, however, is the willingness of people to mutilate themselves. Like all fashion trends they appear quickly and disappear often as quickly which makes body modifications, well, a "permanent fashion trend".
There are two things young people will regret when they get to mature age: Facebook and tattoos. :( :lol::lol:
(As always, my personal opinion is the only one I wish to express)
Cheers
