Kelly in Chinese name is 凯莉 kǎi lí.

This is the simplified Chinese writing - 凯莉.
And the traditional Chinese writing - 凱莉.

For tattoo, you can use the simplified writing 凯莉. The first character has simpler strokes and looks neater.

I love Chinese tattoos too.

Please come back and show us a picture of your tattoo once you have it. I would love to see your Chinese tattoo here.

The standard transliteration for Kelly in Chinese 凯莉 is already perfect. I don't see any other way to come up with one that is better.

Let us look at the meaning.

Meaning:

凯 kǎi is triumph. When we say 凯歌 kǎigē, it means song of victory, or song of triumph.

莉 lí is used in the words 茉莉花 mòlì huā. It means Jasmine flower.

A triumphant name is surely an important one.

Hope you love your new Chinese name. Let me know what you think. And don't forget to show us your tattoo.
