The one in the photo is probably still a font. How many tattoo artists would know how to write in Chinese calligraphy.
To me it looks done by hand, the inconsistencies in character sizes and stroke widths wouldn't be seen in an actual font. The 独 also looks very hand drawn, the vertical strokes on 無 as well. It's very "textbook" calligraphy, done by someone who knows the strokes and has some practice, but dull and with no personality, and still a degree of insecurity and inconsistency in the strokes, so perhaps a late beginner to intermediate level student of calligraphy. Not necessarily by the tattoo artist either, it could have been tattooed from a template written on paper.
