Is it safe to stand on top of a ceramic toilet tank? (lazysoci.al)

I have to reach the ceiling above the toilet but the space between the sink and the toilet is too narrow for my step ladder to fit. It would be for just a couple minutes.

Absolutely not! Doesn't matter if you're 100 lbs. soaking wet! If you shift your weight wrong, it'll break both the tank and bowl. And ceramic is incredibly sharp when broken, think of it like non tempered glass.
