Looks like a bat with horns or a viking in a cloak. Never really paid attention before so now you are going to be held responsible for my undying curiosity.

Me, I think it's like Egyptian or something, but these folks might have something to say.

Has anyone ever thought of asking him at a Con, or other interview friendly events?

He was asked about it at Dragon*Con. I took quick notes at the Q&As and from what I wrote down it went like this:

- Could he explain his tattoo? He got it when he was 19, it was a peace symbol with Egyptian hieroglyphics (he said he likes ancient technologies) and now he regrets it. I think the lady that asked him the question said she'd gotten one and then gotten a bunch more, he said that yeah it tends to go one of two ways - you love it or you hate it.

(I only have my notes up at my LJ right now, here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/sdwolfpup/87179.html)

On a radio interview with Nathan Fillion he says that re: the tattoo "there's a peace symbol in there that i kind of fancied up & some egyption hieroglyphics". I'm sorry I don't have a link to give you....I found it a while back & saved it...it was on a radio station called 96X, but that's all i know.

It is an Egyptian scarab beetle, also known as the dung beetle. Ancient Egyptians called it Khepri, the scarab-headed god of Egypt. You can see it very clearly and in full detail in the 1996 Outer Limits episode with Nathan called Starcrossed.
