@Scott R if he's looking for a walk-in then that or Downtown Tattoo (about 2 blocks from EL) are ok, at least for 1 or 2 artists. Also check to see if there is any availability that particular day for Dave or Hood at Uptown Tattoo (that'd be my 1st choice for a walk-in).
She is definitely new skool, mostly to the point of cartoony - and that's fine, but if you're wanting a realistic rendition of some space-work then I'm not sure she's your artist . . .
realism and portrait work = Nate Beavers in Houston
traditional = Steve, Tony & Chad at Rock of Ages in Austin
blackwork = Thomas Hooper at Rock of Ages in Austin
new school and/or biomech = Jeff Ensminger and Nick Baxter in Austin
Your answers are going to largely going to depend on the size of the piece, and the ability (or not) of the artist in question.
If that particular style is paramount, then personally I'd be inclined to find an artist who does great (normally blackwork) woodcut tattoos and see if they are interested in including color.
A good tattooist can make such a tattoo last, but a great tattooist won't get the lines too close together (providing long-term clarity). Your example above it pretty tight-knit - a little more than I'd want to receive . . .
I'm not familiar with anyone in the mid-west who "specializes" in fine lacework, but there probably is a dozen or so who could pull it off.
