Beauty, Strength, and Virtue

[BriannaOt7]

I want to get this tattoo but I want to make sure it’s correct. 
 

Does this translate to Beauty, strength, and Virtue?  If not please give me the correct translation and pronunciation. Thank you ??

Each character does mean something along those lines individually but I don't think they combine well or naturally, in fact it reads to me more like a cheap knockoff brand name or even a part phrase where you're saying America was strong and Germany...

The calligraphy is also a bit un-aesthetic. It would look good on the menu of a hip coffee place or a cute notebook, but not as a tattoo.

I'm also not sure 强 is the type of strength intended in that combination of English good things, though of course views vary.

Yeah 强 is usually for physical or military strength. Something like 坚 (resolute) or 勇 (brave) would probably work better.

You could avoid that impression by putting some punctuation between each character — typically would be enumeration comma “、” but could substitute for interpunct, fullwidth space, or something more decorative.

 

YMMV but personally I'm not a big fan of the “enumerated list of good qualities” genre of tattoos, could maybe come up with something more special and unique related to those qualities if they have a special meaning to you.
