They're not symbols, they are written characters of a language. You cannot write poetry or essays
using symbols.
There are various ways to transcribe "Linda" by picking random characters that sound roughly
similar. For example: 林娜 (lin na). The first character actually means "forest", the second one
means "graceful". But since this is a transcribed name, most people wouldn't read anything into
it, and accept it as a transliteration. Many native Chinese speakers might not even recognise
which name you were trying to transcribe.
Tattooing someone's name "in Chinese" is dangerous, because you're tattooing some random stuff
that might sound roughly similar to what the name actually sounds like. The name "Linda" actually
has a Spanish meaning: "cute" or "sweet", the Chinese transliteration is just an approximation of
the sound that neither sounds like the real name, nor carries the same meaning.
I'd suggest picking a beautiful font and simply tattooing "Linda" instead.

Also, please have a read of this and this to familiarize yourself with the issues involved in
converting non-Chinese names into Chinese characters.

Also a Chinese character can mean different things in different contexts and a single character
can often be ambiguous. I have seen women who have had the character 信, which can mean many
things. It can mean simple an article of mail as in 寄信 (ji xin - send letter) or belief as in
信赖 (xin lai - trust/have faith in).
