Btw, those examples do approximately have the same pronunciation as "Jacob".

i guess this only satisfies the owner of the tattoo itself. since it's not really for anyone to read.
to tell you the truth, whoever reads kanji will think the characters is more of a mismatch sentence. unless if it's a japanese who knows the name of "jacob" (or anyone who knows japanese) will understand that this tattoo represent the pronounciation of "jacob".
