The tattoo is Nathan's, Duchess (oh, by the way, welcome 
). He told one convention crowd that it translated to "Property of Gina Torres" but I'm pretty sure that was a joke. The most definitive answer I've seen so far is from a recently released interview over on Ain't It Cool News (they had been sitting on it until the release of the trailer). Here's the relevent portion (but check out the entire interview. It's Adam and Nathan and it's great):

Holly: There was a question someone had asked me to ask . . . when you’re naked on the rock, is that a tattoo or a birthmark?
Nathan: It’s a tattoo.
Holly: And what is it a tattoo of? You want to tell people? If not, it’s cool . . .
Nathan: It’s something I did when I was nineteen, and I regret. I mean, I’d rather be clean. I don’t want my grandkids looking at me going, “What’s that?!” Well, it’s a just a . . . eh, it’s nothing.
Adam: What is it?
Nathan: It’s a (holly’s note: I’m not telling’ ) …
Adam: So it has no sentimental value anymore?
Nathan: No, I’m big on Egypt. I’m big on Egyptian culture and how they were so incredibly advanced and amazing, and we know nothing about them. Just gone and erased. They were so advanced, and yet disappeared. Know what I mean?
Holly: Like the Mayans . . .
Nathan: Exactly. That kind of stuff has always interested me. Enough to go to Egypt? No. Enough to tattoo it on my ass? Yes.
