Is 希実 a real Japanese name?
Partly. The characters 希実 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Kimi and Nozomi rather than Kemi. As a spelling of Kemi, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.

希実 has 15 strokes in total (希: 7, 実: 8). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.
Can I use 希実 as a tattoo?
Each character in 希実 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 “Kemi”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ケミ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
