Japanese Style Tattoos

Japanese tattoos, or Irezumi, are rich in tradition and symbolism, featuring iconic imagery like dragons, koi fish, samurai, and cherry blossoms with bold outlines and deep shading.

Koi to momiji.

New style Japanese theme outside sleeve.
Okay, I need to share about this one :
That was the most challenging piece I did in years. I usually need 3 sessions of 6 hours ton complete an outside sleeve where I here needed 4 sessions…packed over 3 days haha

Two consecutive session of 9 hours. That was tough.
I’m getting there, more and more confortable with color, I try to bend it to my will, which is really different than black.

The creative process remains the same, still based on the geometry shapes. But I wanted something that would blend together everything with an homogeneous background.
And that when I came up with the orange clouds.

Which was originally a lighter shade of red but once I was facing the stencil on the arm of my client, I thought we needed more contrast, something that would create a real difference.
I’m beyond happy with this, and cannot thank Florian enough for the trust he gave me on this.

I have a little question for all of you if you may answer to it, would be amazing 🙏

Сделали ногу @egorkiva чуточку ярче.

Цветовое решение не случайно- подбирали в соответствии с уже сделанным рукавом. Как же я кайфую, когда все так продумано получается- к одной татуировке добавляется следующая, гармонично сочетающаяся и дополняющая общую картину, как кусочек пазла. И будет еще продолжение!

Череп+змея+цветы - одна из базовых формул идеальной татуировки 👍

А вы знали, что в классической японской тату существуют каноны, диктующие то, какие элементы можно сочетать друг с другом и какие дополнительные детали/фон уместно использовать в том или ином случае?

Хочу подготовить гайд по этой теме, так что накидайте в комментарии интересующихся вопросы в духе:
что с чем сочетать?
