<p>It looked more like 林產 (from forest; forest related product: e.g. lumber). The 'y' under it is a selection code for that tattoo. Meaning you can just say "I want to have tattoo y" if you don't know how to read the  actual tattoo. Just like you can tell the waiter "I want to order number 23 on the menu" instead of stating the full name of the dish </p>
