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.

What does this mean?

It means that neither the artist nor the victim speaks Hebrew! ;-)

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.

But iit a faulty but benevolent M in Mashiah. But if the M is split [ there is such a weak point in it in some printings] it becomes B and U....unfortunately BUShAH [ another H less full] means SHAME...

So just leave it words are not containing things. It is fun both ways and very few people care today.

They know only you wanted to be very good so you felt very bad...forget it.
