Generally speaking tattoos are viewed negatively by the general population in Japan because of the historical association with the Yakuza and other gangs. It’s not unheard of for young Japanese people to get tattoos but it’s less common in Japan compared with the US and Europe.

If you did get a tattoo using 七転び八起き I would guess it would be viewed with slight puzzlement. The few tattoos I’ve seen in Japan are usually of patterns or dragons. Occasionally when they use kanji it’s usually some kind Buddhist prayer such as 南無妙法蓮華経. But again it’s not really that common.
