Ceramic tile over self adhesive vinyl tile work?

I have a small bathroom with self-adhesive vinyl tile on the floor. Can I put ceramic tile over this vinyl tile?

I'd take them off. It won't take too much time.

A propane torch will work well to heat up the tiles. Use a 2" putty knife or 4" drywall taping blade to scrape them off while you heat them.

I'd probably remove 'em too, but you could glue and screw 1/4" hardibacker down and tile over it (pretty easy if it's wood subfloor).
