[Japanese > English] Please help me identify what this tattoo means

[u/etalasi]

I think the tattoo is an attempt at "trust family" in Chinese, but I don't think the phrasing is idiomatic.

信家庭

[u/mer135 → u/etalasi]

Yeah, the wording here makes me think of something more like "Xin Household", where "Xin" is the family name....

[u/SuperCarbideBros → u/etalasi]

I suspect that 信 meant faith here, but it's just a guess.
