The answer

It is not permissible to replace an existing tattoo with another. If it is possible to remove the tattoo by permissible means and without harm, then one should do so. Otherwise, one should leave it and repent to Allah. Furthermore, one should not display the tattoo to people if it contains immoral imagery.
