Re: Help on unknown script (maybe Cyrillic)

Hi, a friend is interested in knowing the meaning of
a text she copied from a relative's tatoo. It's two
words in a script she doesn't know; she claims to have
copied it "verbatim" - it looks barely like Cyrillic,
though it could be something else (doesn't even know
the language, if any). The person the tatoo belonged
to passed away recently, so they can't ask him. Anyone
here could assist?

A scanned image of what she copied can be seen at

The lower line looks a little like Georgian. It seems unlikely that a
tattoo artist could have been so sloppy -- is there any chance of
finding a photograph of the original in vivo?
