LHR over a tattoo is not a good idea. The light targets dark pigment. That's why its more effective on lighter skin and darker thicker hair. Many people have experienced blistering and significant discoloration and fading of their tattoos from LHR. If you are going for IPL, you want to make sure the area being treated is no where near any ink you have!

Why do you want to have IPL hair removal? You should look at Alexandrite, Laser diode or ND YAG as superior means to permanently remove hair and seek advice in person from a reputable laser practitioner about the tatoos and to see if they are in the treatment zones. Remember the pigments will absorb the light energy.
