Questions about Poncho in Japanese

Is 宝知 a real Japanese name?

宝知 has 16 strokes in total (宝: 8, 知: 8). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Can I use 宝知 as a tattoo?

Each character in 宝知 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 “Poncho”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ポンチョ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
