JSEA, You're close.

canadian2011, Welcome to our forum. You mean "Lao" writing.

It says "Nee jaak Ameriga", meaning "Leave America".

Is that your arm?

You're welcome. I guess he wants everyone to know that he left the U.S.

I kept wondering why sala eh came after sala ah when it always goes in front of the consonant. Is that a prison tattoo or something? Looks like it wasn't done by a professional, and maybe not even with a tattoo gun.

LaoguySoCal, Maybe you're right, it was hard to read with his scribble word over what appears to be a blue tattoo.

Initially I thought it was "Mee" but I couldn't figure out what he was trying to say, so "Nee" sounded more obvious.

I guess he means "Mee jaak Ameriga" meaning "Bear from America".

That's what I'm thinking. It didn't make any sense to me, so I thought it meant "Leave America". Even that sounds weird too.

He is either weird, or he has problems with his Lao.
