Well. What is this tattoo supposed to mean? The two characters mean "inside" and "forest." As far as I know, this has no meaning in Chinese, and in Japanese this is a surname pronounced Uchimori, but has no meaning.
You can tell this wasn't created by a person who can write Chinese characters. The second character isn't written very well--the components are a little far apart--and the first one looks slightly awkward.
I think it's his name (Nathan), transliterated roughly into Mandarin Chinese (nei-sen). I wish people wouldn't do this unless they realised that it only works for Mandarin speakers (and even then, the characters have actual meanings apart from the phonetics of the name), and for all the other people who can read the characters (speakers of Cantonese, other Chinese languages and dialects, Japanese etc.) even those phonetics are lost, leaving them scratching their head why you wanted 'Inside-Forest' or some Japanese surname.
