Is there a way to skim coat or tile over an old lath and plaster ceiling?
lath and mortar walls and ceilings have a greater flexibility than standard plaster.

The weight of the tiles would pull the mortar from the lath with great ease. It is defiantly better to either plasterboard directly to the old ceiling and using dry wall screws NOT NAILS screw directly to the joist not the late you can then put a good scrim tale over the joints and plaster accordingly. The very best option however, is ...............drop the old ceiling, re-board and plaster
