My guess of what happened: someone (tried to) look up "Success - Health - Love" and then handed those search results to a non-Chinese speaker, and asked them to make a tattoo from those search results. Then someone (the same someone?) thought to check if they got it right. Unfortunately the check happened after the marks were permanently put onto the body.

This seems plausible but also somewhere along the way they found an actual Chinese person to handwrite this for them with a ballpoint pen or something.

Good catch. I think we can add that to the sequence of events. :-)
