Many English words don't translate directly into Japanese. To avoid any confusion, you should consult someone who can speak and write the Japanese language fluently. Try contacting the language department at your local college or university. If they have a Japanese language instructor, he or she may help you out.

If he won't tell you, research it yourself. There are many online resources for tattoo symbols, you could sketch it while he's not looking, and find out on your own. Most symbols mean "hope", "believe", "strength", but it certainly is curious as to why he wouldn't tell you what his means.

Find the symbols and match them with a Japanese to English book, check sites for books on language. Find a Japanese person you trust, and ask them. Your local Library.
