quid and quod both mean "what". quid is usually used interrogatively (in questions), quod is the relative pronoun.
quid
"What are you doing?"
"I know what you are doing."
quod
"We are doing what you told us to do."
quid
"What are you doing?"
"I know what you are doing."
quod
"We are doing what you told us to do."

Nonne fortasse "fortis et liber" dicere conaris?

Go fortIs et liber. (but as stated many times before: are you sure you want to get a tattoo without really knowing what it says?)

Besides, everybody knows Benissimus doesn't sleep but flies out at night and sucks Latin.
