Hello, I had a patient the other day with a tattoo in Arabic that looked like the following, sort of like a cursive E turned on it's side, with a dot below. It was quite interesting, but simple at the same time. Any idea what it might mean? Thanks.

This is not an Arabic word, yet it seems like one of these words:
رب means God
حب means Love
لب does'nt deserve being a tatto🙄
دب means bear (the animal)

I don't know if anyone has other opinions... but why do you need to know the meaning of the tatoo, do different meanings have different hepatitis B strains?:laugh:
 
What does the third symbol mean that you listed?

It means the core of sth or the interior of it (like the core of planet Earth) ... not a very commonly used word... I don't expect to see it as a tattoo...

By the way, it is not a symbol, it is 2 Arabic letters attached (a word of 2 letters)... ل and ب and so on in other words listed ر and د and حـ

If you wanna know how the words listed are pronounced(respectively):
Rub
Hob
Lob
Dob
