Yes of course two Lorenz curves can intersect when plotted on the same axes not counting their start and end points.
See this: Crossing Lorenz Curves. And this: Can two Lorenz curves intersect?
However when Lorenz curves intersect there will be ambiguity when trying to determine which curve represents more inequality (as noted in the links).
