I've tried to translate it but cannot reach the meaning of the whole phrase:

财寿爱禄力 riches, a long life, love, a steady and lucrative career, power. So, five well-wishes. Riches, a long life and a good career are traditional well-wishes, love is not traditional but fits in there well enough. Power looks odd to me in this string of wishes, but I guess it's a nice wish.

The calligraphy is quite awful, do not use that for anything. Especially not for a tattoo, but not even as a background on your phone.

Does this word  have the same meaning Love as the word ?

Or is it just written badly on the original picture?

Sorry, my mistake. These words should be written a litlle bit different.

ài is the simplified character, ài is the traditional version. The character means 'love'.

yuán looks a lot like ài, but it's a slightly different character with an entirely different meaning.
