on the epsoide trash that tat on Mal is it real? like does Nathan really have that tat of is it fake and if its real of fake what is it of?

It's a scarab. It's real. Nathan Fillion got it in his youth and now regrets it.

I hope it's real; and I knew he had one!! We watched the episode again and my dad paused it and zei it was mud but me and my brother knew better. Dad's a lying a-hole.
