I would stay away from a pied, especially if you were planning on getting a high white. White inks don't hold well depending on some people's skin. I think the pattern of a bee will transfer over to a tattoo a lot better than the randomness of the pied also.
Are you planning or going color or black and gray?
Don't know how big your going on your shoulder but you could have multiple orchids with the snake slithering in the background or through them.
Just some ideas but your best bet will be to just have the artist draw something up
