will tattoos change a design for me?

I found a example of a tattoo I really like it’s basically a snake with diamonds around it, but I was wanting a dragon instead. And the style is very minimalistic and I wanted a more neotraditional style which is what my artist does. My tattoo artist should be able to do that right? I only have one tattoo and it’s very simple lettering so I’ve never worried about designing a tattoo before.
