Questions about Alena in Japanese

Is 安麗奈 a real Japanese name?
Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 安麗奈 is a creative kanji spelling (called ateji), chosen for its sounds and meanings. Japanese readers will understand what each character means, and many will enjoy the idea behind it.

安麗奈 has 33 strokes in total (安: 6, 麗: 19, 奈: 8). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.
Can I use 安麗奈 as a tattoo?
Each character in 安麗奈 has a positive meaning, so it is a reasonable choice. Keep in mind that Japanese people will read it as the meaning of the characters, not instantly as “Alena”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (アレイナ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
