Greetings,

I had this tattoo done over 12 years ago when I served in the U.S. Navy. To be completely honest, I do not remember much about that night. Can you work your magic and decipher my tattoo?

Thank you,

Cher S.

  1. In Japanese, 伐 can also mean be used for meaning, more specifically, "attack" or "strike" or "punish": 伐つ
