Talking in the thread about letting kids watch the show, I ended up wittering about the end scene of Trash (funny how that happens eh?)

The one thing I wanted to know though was that tattoo on his hip (great place for a tattoo I thought) is it Mals or Is it Nathans?

i.e, is it real or did they put it on specifically for the show? and if they did, does anyone know what it is or what it means?

I cant think they'd go to all of the fuss and expense of designing and manufacturing fake tattoos unless Joss or someone wanted it to say or show something.

If it was fake I say it was an old army tattoo, but I can't imagine hips being a popular choice for those types of things (any military guyss want to butt in here please do!

)

thats ma question.

I'll try and get an image if no-one else has one (calm down we're talking about the tattoo) can't rightly remember what it was, so that may help (i'll go back and look now and it'll be a picture of Tweety-pie)

cheers m'dears.

i believe it was done specifically for the show, because i noticed that in The Message, Tracy has the same tattoo. i'm pretty sure it's in the same place too. :) Bet Zoe has one as well.

Nope, it's Nathan's. He's said in an interview that he got it when he was 19 and he regrets it--he'd rather be "clean." Too bad--I'm glad he has it! Gives a girl something intriguing to wonder about. Apparently, it's some kind of Egyptian symbol for "peace." At least, that's my understanding.

SIMON: That's not much.
MAL: It's enough.

Few weeks back, I channel-surfed across an "Outer Limits" episode that had Nathan in it (only caught the last couple of minutes, so didn't think it noteworthy, considering how every actor in Hollywood has appeared in TOL at some point). The scene I saw had him in a bed, tangled in bedclothes and the female lead (a bit of fan-service for any women-folk in the audience), but I noticed the tattoo was present.

Didn't look Egyptian, though. Looked more Celtic (kinda a scrollwork knot-like design).

following up on what i previously said... they have different tattoos, and Tracy's is on his shoulder, not his butt. my mistake. :)

i was listening to the morena baccarin interview on the signal podcast the other day and she said that the tattoo was nathan's. i meant to go back and find the thread about nathan's tattoo, but i got lazy. so i just had to tell someone what i learned!

i have five tattoos and i don't see what the big deal about being "clean" is. "boring" is a more appropriate word for that.

Great minds think alike. We just watched "Trash" and I have to admit, I was intrigued by that tattoo as well. Tracy's BTW is a blue sun on his shoulder (gee, ya think he might be mixed up with those Blue Sun guys? Naaaah....).

I gotta admit, I admired Mal's (and Nathan's) blatant attitude about the whole being naked on TV thing. Guess this is why I never went into acting: I couldn't do that.

Oh yeah: WHICH Outer Limits episode, for the benefit of this member of the female fan base??? hee hee

I posted wondering about this the other day as well and eveyone came back it was real...you can actually do a google search for "nathan fillions tattoo" (yes...I need to get a life) and a couple of websites have close ups.

Speaking of how hot our Captain is (we were, werent we?) Lets discuss how much better his bod looked in the BDM compared to the Trash ep. Yum

I loved how Joss pointed out that during the only Nathan shirtless scene in the movie, he ends up filming him from the neck up the whole time (very frustrating for us ladies!)

It sucks hes unhappy with his art...love a boy with tattoos! I have 4 (all so very pretty and discreet)

Nothing wrong with that! I actually got into FF because I saw an article on Nathan so i thought I would rent FF (hey..whatever it takes right?) and Im a sucker for pretty boy actors.

Thank godness he looked so cute in the article pictures...I would not want to have gone through life without the show.

But if I happened to end up in Jaynes bunk...I would not be mad!

BDH whore...LOL....think I need a t shirt that says that!

According to IMDB it was the episode called Star Crossed and he played Michael Ryan which was in season 5 of Outer Limits. And here is the episode summary! Enjoy

It is 2056, six years after the Hing, a humanoid race, invaded earth. While America fights on, Russia has reached an uneasy truce with the aliens, leaving some regions under their control and other declared neutral. In the neutral city of Archangel on the Barent Sea, cynical American expatriate Michael Ryan (Nathan Fillion) runs Heaven, a small coffee bar and music club, where shady Russians mingle with Hing soldiers and other dubious characters. Everything is agreeably corrupt until Alexandra Nevsky (Natasha Vasiluk) informs Michael that Hing commander Sulat Ray (Derek de Lint) is on the lookout for two NATO soldiers who might be interested in buying a Hing scout vehicle has gone missing. Those soldiers, Winston Meyerburg (Justin Louis) and Cass Trenton (Angeline Ball) have dodged Hing patrols and found their way Michael's bar. Cass, who was Michael's lover before the war - she only took up with Winston because she thought he was dead - suspects Michael can get them the scout vehicle. She appeals to his sense of patriotism, revealing that she is carrying a deadly parasite that she and Winston stole from the Hing and, if it can be replicated, might defeat the Hing. But it becomes clear that it's going to take more than flag-waving and high ideals to get Michael to risk his neck in this situation.

I am Joss' bitch!

wow, you can google Mals arse and get results.

Must.... resist....

So it is real, shame, that could have been a regular job for some lucky make up girl.

An I agree with Violet, I'm not a huge fan of hundreds of tattoos running unchecked all over everywhere, but thats a really nice tattoo, in a (oh god how do I say this? interesting? nice?) er, good spot. And discreet, but its his choice.

Don't question the nakedness, just gratefully enjoy.

sign me up for one o them t-shirts?

I go to sleep and wake up and the tatoo thread has become a veritable cornucopia of Nathany goodness.

Wow, and wow again.

Haven't googled Mal's arse, must resist... resist... resistance is futile.

Sign me up for one of them t-shirts too.

And if you find one, post a pic of that tatoo up close on here too please...

It's early here, what can I say.

I agree that tatoo is in a shall we say interesting place and you gotta love a guy with a tatoo!

Thanks for the name of the Outer Limits ep, I've been scanning my guide looking for that, now I'll know the title.

Thanks, ladies..you helped this girl face the day with...yum Nathan pics front and center. I wonder if I could get away with putting that pic on my work computer desktop?.... must resist....

Did I mention as well that I think he's the best actor in Hollywood right now and when he gets his great big ol' chance his career is gonna explode.
And he'll deserve it too. Hope he remains our beloved Cap'n though..

Aahh...I love my captain.... But I need that picture without all the stuff covering the good parts! Breo needs to photoshop those right out for me!

I dont remember them remembering to give Nathans his battle wounds when he was naked in Trash? Did they? He would have has those scars already no? I'll have to go back and look at the ep again...hmmm plans for the evening..check!

But gorram it! (did I spell gorram right?) I lent someone my BDM and they wont return it!!! I want to kill them right now!

I definately would like to join the bandwagon for the BDH whore shirts! I would wear that sucker all the time!

My boyfriend has resigned himself to the obsession I feel for our Captain, and now just turns a deaf ear to my verbal appreciation of him.
Luckily, there are hot girls for him to look at on our favorite ship!
