subject: My husbands Tattoo

My husband being the hero that he is when stationed over in Bahrain (where tattoo's are illegal) went with some friends drunk to a guys HOUSE!!!! And my husband looked through a book, found the symbol for "strength" and got it.

Thanks so much

Marisa

First of all, the character is mirrored.

If it is be read as one single character 慉, it means "to bring up, to raise".

If they are two characters, 小 and 畜, which means "small livestock or young animal".
