You should not tile on top of a hardwood floor. If you do, it will crack as the wood underneath will expand and contract throughout the seasons.
Instead you should be installing on top of some sort of concrete floor. You could either add mud/self leveling mix or cement board. You may also want to remove the hardwood first, if you can.

I will not explain exactly how to tile but i will tell you that your floor has to be very flat, an 18" tile is harder to install when there are crowns in floor they are not as forgiving as a 12 or 13" tile and you will have unacceptable lippage in your 18" tile, for installing go to john bridges website.
Do you have to do anything special when laying tile over tile?
The first thing you want to do is be sure that the original tile is secure and even. If it is loose, or uneven the new tile may pop out or crack under normal wear and tear. If it is uneven or unsecure you can lay a sub-floor to give the new tile a even base.

Can you lay a penny floor over laminate?
I'm guessing that you mean penny round tile. If so, no should never lay this over a laminate floor. Laminate floors are floating, so they move and your tile/grout will crack. You are also not supposed tile on top of any form of wood (laminate is recycled hardwood), because it expands and contracts so it will also cause the tile and grout to crack. You should remove the laminate. And then install on top of either smooth concrete, level it or add in cement board. If, however, you actually mean vinyl, then it depends the condition of the vinyl. It's usually better to remove it, but you might be able to get instead pour 1/2 self leveling cement or put cement board on top and then install. Your floor should be smooth and level before installing the tile.

You must make the measurements that you need to lay the tile, then lay out the tiles on the floor to help familiarize yourself with the pattern you are going to be working with. Lay your grouting adhesive and then finally the tiles.
