>     antique style Jewellers bench in a sketch form... 

    I had been thinking more along the lines of a bench inspired tattoo
    also. I personally would want a less pictoral/literal tattoo than
    most of the ones suggested so far. I'd be wanting something more
    abstract and something pos sibly recognisable by someone in the
    trade but not by someone who wasn't. And so... I am thinking... what
    about a simple bold outline of the shape of the curve and benchpeg of
    a jewellers bench? I'd have it so that the par t where the peg meets
    the bench was uppermost. I think it would look very c ool and funky.
    And if you didnt feel it recognisable enough you could have a
    piercing saw frame put in the recess so that it was framed by the
    curve of the bench. I guess it depends on what kind of tattoo you
    wish to adorn your body with ... but that'd be my choice! If my
    description doesnt make sense contact me offline and I'll send you a
    sketch. Although, I loved the idea of a makers mark with parents
    initials in it asw ell.
