Can You Get Laser Hair Removal over a Tattoo?

Boston714
I am going in for a Brazilian and I have pink star tattoos with a black outline in that area. Can laser hair removal be done over a tattoo? I actually don't mind if the tattoo gets ruined, I could always have it redone, I just don't want to do anything that would hurt or damage my skin
