Marty sent me a tattoo confirmation question with the following picture:
"The tattoo is on my back and I have no Idea what it means. Any help would be appreciated."
This was the first correspondence.

Hi Marty,
The tattoo reads "victory" in Chinese - correctly written, no mistakes at all.
-
I later received a follow-up from Marty: "I was also told that it reads triumph. I there any truth to that?"
-
Hi Marty,
The word "victory" in English is nearly synonymous with "triumph". So yes, there would be truth to that. Note that, much like English, the Chinese language consists of synonyms. That said, the word can also be translated to "win" or "success".
