Weird tattoo question

[Sterillium]

Bear with me, I'm not entirely sure what I'm asking for...

I'm trying to find some tattoo designs that are continuous - like a full sleeve - but need them to be on paper and square.

I'm happy to pay, but so far all I can find are weird "arm-shaped" designs or fake fabric sleeves you can wear.

It's for a gift, for a friend, who apparently saw something similar, years ago and mentioned how much they would love something like that framed up for their wall.

I guess what I need is a continuous pattern/design that would fill up the rectangular space of an A3-sized frame.

Maybe there's even a name for this, but I'm too stupid to know it.

My wife had some 'adult' colouring books while she was in hospital. Some of the patterns (when black & white) were very tattoo-like.

Have you got a tattoo shop locally that you could pop in to & ask?
Maybe they have some designs on their walls.
ETA maybe somebody on https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&... could be more helpful than me

A google search for Māori designs comes up with some - might be a place to start

maybe something Japanese would fit the bill?

You'll find plenty of tattooists will put their artwork available as prints on sites like big cartel, so you could try a googly for 'big cartel tattoo art' and have a look around.

Are you wanting like a flash sheet with one or more designs on it or an entire piece of paper covered in 'tattoo style' artwork?

An entire piece of paper filled with a design that looks continuous, like a full back piece or a full sleeve would look.
