i've done lots of searching but haven't come up with something i like.

the "gear" will wrap around my left forearm and sync with itself....about 9.5" edge to edge, inside this gear will be a design which will hold memory for my friend dale who passed away this past feb....i just need to find the right gear pic to surround it.

need some visual ideas, a porsche gear would be awesome, but haven't found any pics of one from dead above which i need to photoshop and print to take to my artist so he can transfer it, the gear needs to be perfectly symetrical, although the inker is good i want a perfect circle which is risky to freehand.

thanks

Oh my,

Sounds cool but I don't know. First off it can't be symetrical or it will not mesh with itself. Think about a + sign as a 4 tooth gear or even a *. Your forearm is not a perfect barrel. Weird stuff happens when you try to "wrap" an object on a non uniform shape.
