There is a good chance that your brother got taken by whoever did that tattoo. When I think of the American English connotation of 'Dirty South' I think of rap music, and so there is no direct translation in the Japanese (actually Chinese) characters of Dirty South.
I agree with the others, the best literal translation of "Dirty South" is ??, which are the characters for Dirty, as in unclean (kitanai), and South (minami), as in opposite of North.
The way you would translate Dirty South with regards to music is in katakana, the Japanese alphabet dealing with foreign words, and is what was given in the first answer, ???????, pronounced daatei sausu.

I think that without picture of the symbols nobody can understand what you want to explain to answer.

We need to know precisely what you mean by the phrase. Whether it's slang for something or you want to know the literal translation.
