The tattoo between his eyes means "Good". The word for "Girl" and "Boy" when written together mean "good" in Chinese. In the old days if you had two children, a boy and then a girl, it was 'good'. :)

The Mandarin Chinese character 好 (hǎo) consists of two radicals – 女 (nǔ) and 子 (zǐ).



girl, woman, daughter



child, son

In this case, that is what is tattooed between the eyes of the supergenius - a 'good' place to aim.
