Graeme Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I'm in the same boat as you. I love the works of Shige and Gogue, but I prefer the traditional look. Add to that I used to think I wanted pieces with super details but I've come to realize while small details may be nice, big and bold leaves such an enduring image. I wouldn't consider him traditional Japanese, but for big, bold, powerful Japanese, Kiku at Invisible NYC absolutely kills it. I was at Saved once and there was a woman there with a Kiku Kannon backpiece and the thing was knock-you-on-your-ass bold and powerful. And you see a tattoo like that and you know it's going to look great forever. ironchef, polliwog, cltattooing and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/4540-looking-for-reference-buddhist-rosary-wristband-tattoos-mala/?page=2#findComment-80971 Share on other sites More sharing options...

irezumi Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Not a fan of the highlighted ones in that second to last one. Mixing images that indicate shape and dimension with flat images always looks weird and doesn't work. The dragon head should have shadow and a light source if the beads do. hogg and cltattooing 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/4540-looking-for-reference-buddhist-rosary-wristband-tattoos-mala/?page=2#findComment-80990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaeTae Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 Artist credits would be nice on these. Will name the artist if I have it. Trawling the internet for random images doesn't always include the artists name as some of them were not obtained from their original source including Japanese only pages.

RoryQ Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Some great pictures! But I second Graeme on the need to attribute pictures to the artist responsible... I thought it was practically an unwritten rule here, in fact (unless you're actually asking who did it).

cltattooing Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 @Tae Tae I don't know if you have heard of TinEye Reverse Image Search but it is a great reverse-image search that allows you to input an image and see where it appears on the web, which can be helpful when looking for sources. I mean any of us could do it, but just thought you might find it helpful :) TaeTae, ironchef and RoryQ 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/4540-looking-for-reference-buddhist-rosary-wristband-tattoos-mala/?page=2#findComment-81092 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptCanada Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Well you seem to be getting many great pictures, but if you would want to more I asked my wife what those beads are called in Japanese, and received the answer of juzu. So just image searching juzu irezumi on good brought up some good/bad results. the kanji for it is "数珠刺青." irezumi, Duffa, RoryQ and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/4540-looking-for-reference-buddhist-rosary-wristband-tattoos-mala/?page=2#findComment-81097 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean any of us could do it, but just thought you might find it helpful :) I have not heard of that, thanks, I will check it out. I stopped searching the web because it seems to be a bit of an issue not sourcing the images artist, which can be difficult when going trough random pages. I started looking on facebook so at least I know who the artist was.

So just image searching juzu irezumi on good brought up some good/bad results. the kanji for it is "数珠刺青." Yep, they are Juzu beads. Thank you for the Kanji, that may bring up some interesting results. Thanks guys, hope these references can be of help, I sure find them interesting. cltattooing and RoryQ 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/4540-looking-for-reference-buddhist-rosary-wristband-tattoos-mala/?page=2#findComment-81101 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaeTae Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 I tried the reverse image search for the images I already posted without credited artists, I got no return results. Sorry for that. This took me a while to compile, I have included the artists or studios name where possible, some were not. This will have to be in 3 parts.

TaeTae Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Bit of a long shot but I don't suppose anyone can get a better look at what is wrapped around the bottom of these sleeves? I love old school Japanese pictures. On another note I have decided to leave my sleeves as they are, I don't want to ruin the composition of what I have. I do love the look of the Juzu beads though, so will be concentrating on getting them incorporated around my neck when I get my chest and back done. Thanks for the input! ironchef 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/4540-looking-for-reference-buddhist-rosary-wristband-tattoos-mala/?page=2#findComment-83029 Share on other sites More sharing options...
