I am trying to identify what molecule is tatooed on this guys arm. The photo cuts off a bottom part as well. Any help or direction is appreciated.

I embedded the image, and I cropped it first, because I'm not sure you asked the person if they wanted their picture on our site.  As organic molecules go, its a pretty simple one.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.

Sophia7X is right for what is visible, but the full molecule might be Noradrenaline.  Not sure but looks like the left handed version.

Edit,
(Subject to mirrors and such being used in the picture taking.)
