A. If ricco is a man who lost his brother, 兄弟愛 is perfectly fit.
B. If ricco is a woman who lost her younger-brother, 姉弟愛（していあい） is the alternative. 兄弟愛 can still work in this context. But I suggest 姉弟愛 as the design of tattoo art.
C. If ricco is a woman who lost her elder-brother, 兄妹愛（けいまいあい） might be the alternative, though it is not so common word. 兄弟愛 can still work in this context. I don't suggest both of which as the design of tattoo art in the context.
Because if you choose 兄弟, it is odd, because you are a woman.
And because if you choose 兄妹, it is less common word, which might seem odd.
Anyway, if ricco is a woman who will meet some guy and fall in love with him in the future, she had better not make the tattoo, I think.
