When you go to the studio , they will have books full of different style texts

Take that pic with you and any artist worth his/her salt should be able to sort you out.

If he/she can't then find another one that can.

That looks like a custom job, it starts off with just a basic old english font. Then an artists adds to it.

These might give you a few ideas:

Go to Miami Ink. Those guys do some amazing work. Don't know if anyone else follows the show but if I ever decide to have a tattoo I would only get it from them.

Yeah lol, I've never wanted a tattoo in my life, but if I did want one, I know I would go there.
