There is no single official kanji for Eloise. This is one sound-based ateji (当て字) option: 恵路衣瑞, read as "e-ro-i-zu", with the meanings "blessing · road · journey · garment · auspicious".

It can be a starting point for a tattoo design. Because tattoos are permanent, we recommend having both the katakana (エロイーズ) and the kanji checked by a native Japanese speaker before committing.
Character by character, 恵路衣瑞 reads 恵 ("blessing", read as "e"), 路 ("road · journey", read as "ro"), 衣 ("garment", read as "i"), 瑞 ("auspicious", read as "zu"). Together they sound like "Eloise" while carrying the meanings blessing · road · journey · garment · auspicious.
Japanese uses four scripts side by side: kanji for meaning, hiragana and katakana for sound, and rōmaji for the Latin alphabet. A Japanese person writing a foreign name by ear reaches for katakana, which records the sound but carries no meaning — kanji is the meaning-based art form this site uses instead, in the ateji (当て字) tradition.
No — in everyday Japan, foreign names are written in katakana, which is why it's shown beneath every artwork here. The kanji version is ateji (当て字): an artistic portrait of a name chosen for sound and meaning, not an official translation, so anything permanent should be checked by a native speaker first.
