Is 葉麗莉愛 suitable for a tattoo?

It can be a starting point for a tattoo design. Because tattoos are permanent, we recommend having both the katakana (バレリア) and the kanji checked by a native Japanese speaker before committing.

What does 葉麗莉愛 mean?

Character by character, 葉麗莉愛 reads 葉 ("leaf", read as "ba"), 麗 ("lovely", read as "rei", used for the "re" sound), 莉 ("jasmine", read as "ri"), 愛 ("love", read as "a"). Together they sound like "Valeria" while carrying the meanings leaf · lovely · jasmine · love.

Why does Japanese have so many kinds of writing?

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.

Is this how a Japanese person would write my name?

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.
