any tattooist worth their salt wouldn't be hugely keen on just replicating something someone brings in on a bit of paper.
I showed the ninja tune logo I wanted to the guy who I was talking to about possibly doing mine, his eyes lit up and he started reminiscing about the label and his favourite artists from bitd & we spent the whole of the session where he replicated it listening to stuff from the label.
It's nothing fancy & not everyone's cuppa but I'm really liking it and am glad it wasn't done freehand.

In general it is as you say, any tattooist worth their salt wouldn't be hugely keen on just replicating something someone brings in on a bit of paper. Anyone would be ok with you coming in with that and saying "I want a cartridge bearing, sort of like this" though, I would expect.
Both my suggestions are into bicycles in some capacity, if that helps.
