Is 南太礼 a real Japanese name?
Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 南太礼 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.

南太礼 has 18 strokes in total (南: 9, 太: 4, 礼: 5). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.
Can I use 南太礼 as a tattoo?
Each character in 南太礼 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 “Natale”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ナタレ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
