Great question. This is another "forced combination"...not a real word, so it could mean a variety of things.

The first chraracter means "live" but it also means raw, pure, draft (beer).
The second character is the first half of a combination that means "now, presently" but by itself it means "consciousness" or "reality".

So this tattoo could be read "raw consciousness", "pure reality" or any other combination of meaningless phrases.
