    subject: Trust in God Tattoo? 

    My brother in law thinks this says "trust in God". Can you confirm this? 

    Thanks

     
    typically is used to describe deity, not necessarily the Judea-Christian sense of "God", which is 上帝.

    信用 is not "trust", rather creditworthiness along the line of trying to get a loan from bank.

    subject: Tattoo meaning if any?

    I got this tattoo 17 years ago in NYC. Tattoos were not totally legal in the city yet and I was underage. Internet was not in full swing either. The tattoos were supposed to have read, "Strength and Courage." I'm sure they don't. LoL! If you could tell me what the characters mean (if anything), I would appreciate it.

    Thanks,
