I sent it to chat GPT
t. The tattoo in the image contains Chinese characters:
忠 (zhōng) – loyalty, devotion, faithfulness
孝 (xiào) – filial piety, respect and devotion to one’s parents/elders
Together, 忠孝 (zhōngxiào) is a traditional Confucian concept meaning:
• Loyalty and filial piety
• Being a good subject/citizen (loyal to ruler or country) and a good child (respectful to parents).
It’s a value that emphasizes duty to both family and society.
👉 In English, you could translate this tattoo as “Loyalty and Filial Piety” or more simply “Loyal and Respectful to Parents/Elders.”
