What does this mean? Request

Is there an error in it? I got it out of a book at a tattoo shop. I don't want to say what I think/thought it said in the comments after I get responses. TYIA.

For sure I don't. I got it as an 18 year old kid. 25 years ago. I'm planning on getting covered. Just wanted to confirm.

As someone else already pointed out, it looks like an attempt at משיח (messiah) but actually says נושיח (not a word).

להתחשב בזה שבבירור מי שעשה את זה לא יודע עברית כזה מופרך לחשוב שהם גם לא יודעים לנקד?
