Yes. 詩奈 is also found in Japan as a given name, read Shina, so it looks natural to Japanese readers. For Sina, it works as both a real-looking Japanese name and a kanji spelling of your own name.
How many strokes is 詩奈?
詩奈 has 21 strokes in total (詩: 13, 奈: 8). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.
Can I use 詩奈 as a tattoo?
Each character in 詩奈 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 “Sina”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (シナ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
