Most good overgrips will not ruin the original grip. Some overgrips have the tendency to stick to the underlying grip, causing extreme damage to the original grip. Other grips will not ruin the original grip.
Really, it is a 'see if it will ruin the grip' kind of thing, because each original grip is different and each overgrip you might use will be different.

What is an overgrip?
An "overgrip" is any kind of material that wraps around the grip of a tennis racquet (n.b., it is used on baseball bats, hockey sticks, and other sports-related equipment as well). The primary reason to use an overgrip (usually an after-market item) is to protect the grip (i.e., the original part of the racquet, et al.) from wear-and-tear, and, secondarily, to make it easier for the player to hold onto.

You hold the racquet like a hammer with the "V" of your thumb and index finger on the narrower edge of the racquet grip. You'll want to use the Eastern Grip when you wish to hit ground storkes that are flat or have topspin. Hold the racquet with the "V" slightly off to the right. You'll want to use the Western Grip when you want to use extreme topspin. This grip is a preferred grip of clay court players because topspin rules on clay. The "V" extremely far off to the right. You'll want to use the Semi-Western Grip when you want to add power and you are a baseliner. You can either hit topsin or flat with this grip. The "V" is between that of the Eastern Grip and the Western Grip. It is recommended to have a Tennis professional demonstrate the different grips for you, so that you are doing them properly.
