乔基 (adjective + noun) apparently not a standard single word, characters and their meaning can be looked up in dictionaries– user6065Dec 7, 2018 at 20:16

1see e.g. iciba: 乔吉 variant of 乔基, 乔吉 second character with 2nd tone instead of 1st Georgie [ˈdʒɔ:dʒi] n. George 的昵称; 释义 [男子名] 乔吉 George的昵称; [女子名] 乔吉 Georgia的昵称;– user6065Dec 7, 2018 at 21:38

乔基, I'm 95% sure it's transliteration for the name George. Also it looks a little bit odd to me since usually the transliteration would written as 乔治, at least in Mainland China. And that's a boy's name.

3Thank you very much, this tattoo really was meant to be George. 2 days ago in a company somebody asked me what does it mean and when I said George, they laughed and made fun of it, saying it couldn't be George because it's not a chinese name at all. This made me doubt too after all these years and thats why I decided to ask here. Dec 8, 2018 at 10:11
It is a transliteration of your name, and 乔生 is my Chinese (first) name. Although I am a guy, so this may go to 神秘德里克's point.
