Default Help me finish my sleeve:

Hey guys. I'm not sure if this is where I should put this, but I'm looking for some close ups of higher-end gauges for a panel that's going on my wrist and forearm.
I'm looking for any of the following:

Nitrous
Boost
A/F
Other?

No Autometer or FaZe gauges, please. Only those with "higher-end" stuff need apply. If you've got anything that fits the bill, and would be willing to take a few close ups for me, I'd REALLY appreciate it.

These will be used as a referance only. I'll not be having copies of nitrous gauges and such on my arm. Again, I need close ups for referance only.

Thanks in advance.

but why? and of all things nitrous gauges...? or is nitrous gauges what you dont want? do you realize your going to have "ricer" permanently put on your arm for the rest of your life. Dont get me wrong, Im not against tattos, i have one. But you might regret something like this in as little as one or two years down the road.
IMO
tribal sleeves
ricer sleeves

DUDE! Read above!! I'LL NOT BE COPYING SPECIFIC GAUGES, I JUST NEED THEM FOR REFERENCE! I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE A NITROUS,BOOST, OR A/F GAUGE ON MY ARM! I want pics for REFERENCE!

Thanks for the help just the same and don't worry, it WILL NOT be a ricer sleave. It's not even automotive related, it's more bio-mechanical than anything. Think Aliens Vs. Predator or something to that effect.

Don't do it man! When your 60, there won't even be gas combustion engines! You'll be stuck telling your grand kids what fart pipes were, how you used to rice out civics, and why people used to drive cars sitting looking under (or through, but never over) the steeering wheel, with their hand on top of the steering wheel, trying to act tough!

Don't listen to them. Do it. I know a bunch of old timer hot rod types with tats and they don't regret it. My favorite old timer tat is the '40 Ford "V8" with the 8 inside the V. There will still be cars in the future. Think about that old movie from around 1980 with Lee Majors where cars are outlawed. Except he's been keeping this Formula One car hidden away. Then he takes it out and has to scavenge for gas. The people who see the car are like "WTF is that?". Sorry to get off on a tangent, but I say do it. Oh, and I can't help you with gauges either. Sorry.

Still guys, like I said above...it's not an automotive tattoo. More mechanical than anything. There won't be machines when I'm 60?
