Shaolin tattoos

[snook]

A friend asked me to try to find some artwork on the 'net, line drawings of shaolin monks specifically, so that he can take them to a tattooist (assuming there's one he really likes) and get him to tattoo the design on his upper arm. Could be a monk fighting or meditating or whatever.

I've looked extensively and can't find anything really, just a few badly drawn images. Does anybody know of any suitable artwork, or tattoo designs, that might be useful? Or point me in the right general direction? I've tried Googling lots of different terms (variations of 'monk', 'shaolin', 'ninja', 'tattoo', 'design', etc) but with no luck.

Any suggestions would be welcome, thanks!

There are 4 black & white images at the link below. They're very small but I've just imported the third one (which looks, to me, like a great design for a tattoo) into Publisher and enlarged it to 'upper arm' size. While the definition isn't perfect, it should be good enough for any half-decent tattooist to work from.

Thanks, Buenchico, I've just taken a look and they might be just what he's after. Up til now all I could get were some dragons (loads of them knocking around!) but he specifically wanted a Shaolin monk.

If anyone else knows of any more I'd be grateful, but these might do it. Thanks again!
