        Here you go -

        https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663694?hl=en

        Before your request can be processed, the site owner (whether it's you or somebody else) must have removed the image. (If you’re the site owner, follow these instructions.) If not, this process won't work.

            I suggest you read here -

            https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/35308?hl=en

            In short you need to block the Google image bot in your robots.txt

                technically a no follow tells Google you don't want to be associated with a link or pass on and link juice through that link, I don't think it works the same for an image and it may still result in it being indexed, if you want to be safe I would suggest that you block it in robots (the Google image bot)
