Is 礼音 a real Japanese name?
Yes. 礼音 is also found in Japan as a girl’s name, read Rene, so it looks natural to Japanese readers. For Lene, it works as both a real-looking Japanese name and a kanji spelling of your own name.

礼音 has 14 strokes in total (礼: 5, 音: 9). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.
Can I use 礼音 as a tattoo?
Each character in 礼音 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 “Lene”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (レネ) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
