I'm being a tad lazy but might I suggest you try getting the name done in chinese instead of Japanese? There are actually ways of writing your name in chinese that are acceptable based on the sound. For example, my name is Reed Johnson and the name I use for my chinese class is 張瑞徳 (Zhang1 Rui4 de2). I also happen to know that they have set ways of pronouncing names associated with the bible, such as David (Dawei) and since you seem to know of the biblical implications of the name Jacob.

I'm going to follow this up with the statement that I don't really endorse people getting Kanji/Hanzi tattoos if they don't even speak the language. I'm not sure why people seem to think that these tattoos make someone seem 'mysterious', I'm also glad that's not the OP's reason for getting this tattoo. I guess I'm just urging the OP the seriously reconsider getting this tattoo in Japanese or Chinese.
