I'm currently serving in Afghanistan. When I get home this October, I'm going to get my first two tattoo pieces.
I want two half-sleeves, from shoulder to elbow on each arm. On the right arm, I want a collage of four albums by a band called "Hopesfall", and on the left I want the same except by a band called "Circa Survive". The tattoo artist retains creative license, I can't draw worth a shit and I need someone who will be able to meld those images together into one picture.
The artist needs to have a meticulous use of color, as well as be able pull of surreal portrait looks.
Money and location are virtually not an issue. I have saved up $10.000 to use on a vacation/tattoo for when I get home, so as long as the tattoo doesn't cost more than about $4000, I should be good.
These are links to images that I want melded into one picture for each arm.

This is quite a project, and I don't mind using a different artist for each arm, as long as its done right.
Any suggestions as to which artists/studios may do a good job with this project? Southeast preferrably, but as I said, nothing is out of the question.
Thanks a lot!
Suggestions?

It's good you're looking for a geographical area, and not somewhere specific, and $4000 for 2 half sleeves is possible - but -
in case it's possible, where will be you be closest to?
will you have time to wait for an appointment, or are you going straight back?

I'll have all the time in the world to wait for an appointment. I'm in the National Guard, so my obligation is only 1 weekend a month after this deployment, and I won't have any drill for 3 months on my return.
