I have downloaded this image and before I get it tattoo'd onto my body I wanted to check that it is correct first.

Can anyone tell me what this says? I'm hoping you tell me what I think it says.

What I think this say's is Love / Passion and it is used as a traditional seal or stamp.

Is my understanding correct?

The character is 情 qing2, and I'd translate it as 'feeling', but 'love' is also a possible translation. 愛 ai4 means love, you can consider that one as well.

You're correct that this is a seal.

I don't know if you'd like to tattoo a seal on yourself -- it will look like somebody rubberstamped you. Perhaps tattooing the character itself is better?

I'd agree with Lu, "feeling" or "emotion" is closer than "love" or "passion", though it does appear in both words.(愛情 and 激情).
