Is micropigmentation before FUE a bad idea?

I'd like to get micropigmentation to help with density now and I want to make sure it will not cause problems if I want to get an another FUE in the future - as they would mimic hair follicles and potentially make it harder to see were follicle transplants are needed. Would that get in the way of a FUE?
