I’m afraid I paid for a black blob :,( Will the shading really lighten?

I just got this tattoo yesterday. It’s a cats paw holding a crescent moon. After she was done I looked at it and immediately felt like it was too dark. The artist told me that the shading will lighten and won’t be so dark. I’m trying not to be bummed out, but only time will tell.

Could one of you artistic people draw this for me with a few changes?

I was thinking of getting this on my forearm. But instead of the two eye holes I’d like one rectangular one. Add an eyebrow piercing. Would be much appreciated if someone that can draw, sketch something out for me!

Would adding a color tattoo when all my previous tattoos are B/W look out of place?

So I have been wanting a new tattoo recently and I have recently started to like lightly colored tattoos more, the issue is all my previous tattoos are B/W, two of them being very heavy black work. Would adding colored tattoos at this point be weird or look out of place/bad?
