I'm sure there are many notation variations out there, apart from what was discussed here.
This is a really unusual notation with all the disconnected slur marks that really do nothing either visually or musically.

“Fine line” tattoos are growing in popularity. They use a smaller needle and require more skill so not all artists will do them...but if the calligraphy is going to be properly drawn, more care will have to be taken than I think the average tattoo artist is willing to give it.
If you're set on getting a tat, then you had better vet the artist fully before you get permanently marked. Also, as I look at the examples you've posted as well as tats I've seen in person, single system tats can tend to look static. A girl who sits down the row from me has a music tat on her calf. Even from only 10 feet away it looks like a blotch rather than anything that resembles music. The lack of shape makes it awful looking, even from a distance.
