JDIC has hooligan; layabout; good-for-nothing; gangster
so vagabond would fit. The best word depends on context.

The bottom left is the kanji for the tattoo artists's name: Utabori 歌彫
The top right is a bonji - a sanskrit character. This one symbolizes the buddhist deity Dainichi Nyorai

It works, but it sort of lacks the imperative punch of "Boycott Israel!"
With "Boycott Israel" you are commanding, telling, or inviting other people to participate in a boycott movement.
イスラエル企業と製品、ボイコットを！ might be better visually, as it implies a more strident call to action.
Maybe Toritoribe-san will give a native speaker's input.

In Japan (well, Mahayana Buddhism) the Bodhisattvas are placed higher than Arhats. If I recall correctly, Boddhisattvas are those who have already attained enlightment/buddhahood, but instead of extinguishing their "selves" and attaining a state of complete Nirvana, they choose to help mankind. Meanwhile, the Arhats are those who are still on their path to attaining enlightenment.

So they are different. Thanks! I was just curious if these differences are clearly defined in Japan by these two Buddhist terms. As you may know, renouncing Nirvana after enlightenment is strongly encouraged in Northern (Mahayana) Buddhism, whereas it is not in Southern Buddhism (and the various Japanese Buddhist traditions are of the Mahayana type).
