(http://www.bmezine.com/tattoo/A40411/high/iam00023669.jpg)
This is another example of carelessness by the tattoo artist or/and the client. The top character 寿, simplified version of 壽, is missing a dot in the 寸 partial.
寿 = old age, long life; lifespan
忠 = loyalty, devotion, fidelity
力 = power, capability, influence
英 = petal, flower, leaf; brave, a hero; England, English
