Is It Possible to Remove Old Tattoo so That I Can Replace with New Tatto in Same Location?

D.gonzalez
I want to laser off my tattooed half sleeve because I'm not satisfied with the work ... but I want to get a whole new sleeve on top of the same area where I want the old tattoos removed ... is this possible ? Or is it dangerous and bad for the skin ?
