The top character 傅 means “tutor” or “teacher”, however it is done incorrectly and missing a small horizontal stroke.

    Is there a Japanese-specific character that looks like a Greek omega, or is it "last teacher/tutor"?

    Omega? The closest I can think of would be an upside-down ひ (hi), but even that is a stretch.

    Well there is the Japanese hiragana ひ (hi), which kinda sorta looks like an upside-down omega (Ω), but don't blame this one on Japanese. Even if the entire tattoo was supposed to be ひ博高力, this is complete gibberish in Japanese.

    Also, not only is 博 written wrong, but so is 高. The horizontal stroke is too long and goes from thick to thin, where it should have a 'serif' at the end.

    This penmanship is terrible and it makes no sense.

    Leave the omega alone!
    But isn't 傅 also one of the family names in China?

    Andrew,

    You are correct, 傅 is also a surname in Chinese.
