I found this pic and frankly, I am interested in what the hell the design means.

It doesn't look overtly military related to me. The scorpion pretty much looks like regular flash art you pick off the wall of your tattoo shop, and then the flag shows his Israeli heritage? And then that's probably his name or a buddy's name there.

What's that last character on the word, though? It looks like something from a different alphabet... Hebrew? Not sure.

pointless and uncalled for

Not much coming up other than two interesting points. 1) Tattoos are forbidden under Jewish law. 2) Scorpions form part of a reference to Jewish exile.

That said, this guy may not be Jewish.

Heh, I'd be like that guy in "Saving Private Ryan"- "You know what this is? You know what this means? YUDEN. That's right! YUUUUDEN."
