Zoe Saldana’s Arabic tattoo



The second Zoe in our list of celebrities getting inked in Arabic! This one is known for playing Uhura in the new Star Trek movies. She also appeared in quite a range of other famous movies, such as Pirates of the Caribbean and Avatar.

Zoe Saldana has two Arabic tattoos, one on her back and one on her foot. Unfortunately, both of them don’t appear to make much sense. The one on her back is a strange jumble of letters that aren’t connected properly and don’t form any intelligeble words:

The tattoo on her foot is pronounced “ureed yu as’alha”, where only the first and the third word are Arabic words meaning respectively “I want” and “I ask her”. Together they would mean “I want to ask her”. However, the “yu” that is inserted in the middle doesn’t make any sense. On a second look, the Arabic letters might form two words, perhaps names? – Aridio (or Oridio) and Asalia (or Osaliya).
