I just spoke to a guy that started his Japanese half sleeve at Elm street tattoo. The first thing he mentioned was that the owner was a judge on Ink masters, but he couldnt get in with him( I know @Oliverpecker for foot panther and travesty back piece and all around solid traditional tattoos) . This guy has a few random small script tattoos so I am happy that the show got him to go to a good shop. Chances are if he just picked a shop in Oklahoma he would not have gotten a solid tattoo. There are some solid tattooers here but the average customer would be lucky to happen upon them.
