Is It Okay To Get A Tattoo On Becker's Nevus?

Hi. I'm thinking of getting a tattoo over my Becker's Nevus, which is over the top right quarter of my back, and upper right arm. I'm planning on getting the brown color incorporated into the tattoo design, so that the actual ink does not cover up most of the hyper-pigmentation (in case there are any changes in the skin, which is unlikely, but just in case). It'll be some kind of dark design that spans the pigmented area and forms a very obvious figure, so that it appears like a piece of art, and not a blotch of brown. Is this an ok plan?
