AuntTudie Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I found this today. Does anyone know about it or have you ever seen it? I want to take it to my artist and have him do his own thing with it. Any thoughts? SnowyPlover, hogg, ironchef and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6423-horiyoshi-geishaphoenix/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 That's a great drawing. My backpiece is based on Horiyoshi 3 reference so I think bringing it to your tattooer is an excellent idea.

SnowyPlover Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I love it. I think that is a tennyo - kind of like an angel in Japanese Buddhism. The feathers are hagoromo, which is a celestial mantle. hogg 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6423-horiyoshi-geishaphoenix/#findComment-117852 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERD RAGE Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I can't speak to the quality of the information on this site, but I've certainly enjoyed reading through it (and I think first discovered it through this forum) Japanese Buddhism - Apsaras, Celestial Beings, Heavenly Maidens & Musicians, Tennyo, Karyobinga.

AuntTudie Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 I've done a little research on this piece. I've also gathered up my depictions of her. Getting ready to take it to my artist. I do see this tattoo out there. It is mostly done as a backpiece. I am planning to have it on my upper arm.maybe even a full sleeve.

Colored Guy Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 That would make a great back piece. Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6423-horiyoshi-geishaphoenix/#findComment-120534 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntTudie Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 That would make a great back piece. Yes, most of the Tennin tattoos I see are back pieces. But I already have a full back piece.No room there.

AuntTudie Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 She's coming along. Need some texture for the feathers. At a loss as to what the color of the wings should be.

Valpolicella Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Wow. The way the lines wrap so fluidly around your arm is perfect. Totally jealous! For the wings, maybe a super dark purple with lighter purple highlights? Or a dark purple with black highlights? Since you've got almost every other colour of the rainbow in there, it might round it out nicely plus I think dark purple/black looks masculine in a tattoo.
