Try Dover Publications. They do large collections of this sort of imagery, all of it gleaned from 19th century wingdings and the like. Many of their books come with a CD-ROM, as well.

They put out a LOT of publications, but their books are usually cheap and worth a look if you're making a choice of this magnitude. Pic related is what you'd get in one such volume.

For your OP purposes - i.e. symbology and devices - try these:

>>6005301
I think it's another reason why one should understand these symbols before emblazoning them on one's body.
Take a gander at the Thai Yantra tradition - the monks who dole out these tats imbue them with all sorts of powers. Whether or not you believe that's bullshit I have to add that when you are an active participant in any culture of belief, symbology and devices can take on mythical proportions; it's very different than being on the outside looking in. Belief comes easy within the confines of an established cultural construct.

The dagger here: >>6010818 is a nice simple shape. You should go for something similar.

>>6010141
There is a selection of high res versions on the site I posted. Not a complete collection. The rest of them must be out there somewhere though.

For anyone that is interested, I asked for more information on these on /x/ yesterday. Apparently they are medieval and European in origin.
