Will a black background portrait tattoo work as a cover-up?

Anyone with experience of getting a cover up tattoo or anyone here who is actually a tattooist?

I have always hated this pink floyd tattoo and would love to get it covered somehow, I have had a portrait tattoo designed and was wondering if this will work?

First pic is my tattoo and the other two show how it might look if it works.. Was thinking of having the background of the portrait black, if the black extends up my arm would it cover the floyd tattoo so it's just solid black with the portrait underneath?

I don't have much room underneath so the portrait itself would have to be slightly smaller..

Going to be contacting a few tattoo places over the nest few days but was just wondering if this will likely work or what else could they do to cover the floyd tattoo if black won't cover it?

Have a couple of laser removal sessions to fade it down and it will be much easier to cover up
