Well the kanji are 帝理居 but I don't think it means anything in Japanese.
Maybe in Mandarin/Cantonese it might mean something but unfortunatley I can't speak those languages.
Do you know what it was supposed to mean?

Another example of why Kanji tattoos are a bad idea.

Definitely not Japanese.

Edit: the first character apparently means 'emperor', and the second means Li. I'm not sure about the third, probably the second part of the name. It's Chinese.

It's kanji and it's used in the wrong way. Forget Japanese or Chinese.

Looks like someone tried to write "Terry" in kanji.

Terry?
I think only that it suitably applies the kanji.
It is not a word with some meanings.

「帝理居」 means absolutely nothing... it's another example of gaijin kana...

Doesn't mean much in Japanese.
