Are you (or were you) member of some group? If the answer is yes, your tattoo could be interpreted as marking the date when the group was founded:

举联盟 assemble a team, start a crew

届节 (period/time of) rally, session, gathering

Now you tell us whether these make any sense to you?

Not at all. I was 14 when i got this in Colombia and did not know anyhting about Chinese writing. It is supposed to be my name (JORGE) but now i know that could not be. Thanks guys, i might just go and cover it up.

Sorry to hear this, but you're not the only one>>在客 was supposed to be Zack...

BTW Jorge as pronounced in Spanish is very hard to pronounce/transcribe properly in Mandarin Chinese. I found 厚黑 (houhei) if you'd still like to know how it's written

I am guessing this is an alternate version of the "Chinese Alphabet" fiasco, as "Jorge" and this mess are both 5 characters.

Looks like the tattoo artist was flipping through the J, L, and M section of the Chinese dictionary.

But hey, at least he had a dictionary! Despite the lack of meaning, this kind of looks like (not too pretty) Chinese characters at least... :roll:

It doesn't mean anything. Not anything bad either. I can't imagine the military would have a problem with this. For the people who can read it, the worst possible effect it could have on them is slight confusion ('What does that tattoo even mean??')
