The spelling of "art ones tail" may seem unusual at first glance, but it is actually a clever play on words. The word "art" is spelled with a silent "h", as in /ɑrt/. "Ones" is spelled phonetically, as in /wʌnz/ to indicate that it is a nonstandard way of saying "one's." And "tail" is spelled conventionally, as in /teɪl/. Altogether, the phrase is pronounced as /ɑrt wʌnz teɪl/, or "are one's tale." This shows the importance of phonetics in understanding spelling and pronunciation.
