You're probably going to have to make your own. You will have to decide what type pattern you want, Silhouette, Color change, what the Circumference of the blank is where you want to put it so the weave will fit the blank. How much detail you are trying to get. How many colors you can handle. Then choose a picture that fits well in a narrow but long location. You might look online to see if you can find a tattoo and go from there. A good picture put into a program like "rapid resizer" will give you a good black and white image that you can use for a silhouette. If you have a program like Dave Boyles or PC stitch the process will be easier but you can always do it the old way with graph paper.
