The Blessed Script is a Supernatural Ability, which is by default a Standard action to activate unless an ability specifies otherwise. However, the chosen spell is treated as a Spell-like Ability, which is also a Standard action unless otherwise noted.
If a Living Grimoire selected Burst of Speed (Swift-action spell) as his 3rd-level tattoo, would it be a Swift action to activate the spell, or Standard action?

The Su part is the actual tattooing; using the tattoo is Sp.
A spell-like ability has a casting time of 1 standard action unless noted otherwise in the ability or spell description. In all other ways, a spell-like ability functions just like a spell.
So a SLA to use a swift-action spell is a swift action.
