How long after laser tattoo removal can a tattoo cover up be performed?

7234anon
I am going to get a couple laser sessions to lighten a tattoo before having it covered up with another tattoo. I was just wondering how long after the last laser session can I get the new tattoo? Also is it likely that there will be scarring or changes to skin texture which might compromise a new tattoo?
