You don't need to say いる form here. Just する is OK for a habitual action.

I usually watch TV on Fridays. = 普通、金曜日にテレビを見る。
I usually bring medicines, syringes, latex gloves and a microscope. = 通常は、薬、注射器、ゴム手袋、顕微鏡を持って行きま す。

etc.

So
リーさんは普通、金曜日にテニスをしますか。

You don't but that is how native speakers actually describe a habitual action most of the times.

もう一回質問がありまーす。

Googleでどうやって漢字の写真が探しますか?

Lets say.. I'm looking for pictures of the Kanji 龍 instead of a dragon. Do I type 龍字 or 龍漢字 for best results? Is there a better way of doing it?

Thanks as always!

Go to Yahoo Japan. Yahoo! JAPAN
Type 龍の字
Click 「画像」

Voila: 「龍の字」の検索結果 - Yahoo!検索(画像)

Just remember that 「の」 is the magic particle.

Found this while peforming your suggested action, Masaegu. Is the poster talking sarcasticly about Johnny Foreigner's ink? Is there something wrong with the sentence?

Nothing is wrong with the sentence BUT inking a "sentence" itself is very rare in Japan. Thus the indifferent-sounding comment there.
I said "nothing is wrong" but there is this cold-sounding online-translated-ness about the phrase.

Would you want "I walk alone with my own shadow" inked on your arm in any language? If you did, I would probably refuse to walk with you again!
