Simao Tattoo

[MRI]

okay so when i was watching the portugal game today something caught my eye....I noticed that portuguese player simao(pictured above) had a tattoo on his arm that looked like farsi or arabic or something. I tried searching and finally managed to find a picture that sorta shows what is written. If anyone has any info about this player's background or what the tattoo says, I'd be interested to know. thanks

Nah but arabic writing as tatoos is very cool,

Simao is not the only one, David Beckam even has it if am correct

Maritim means from sea. I guess it is a popular club name in Portugal.
But why in those letters? well I dont know but the guy looks a bit Moroccan

It looks like it says "Martim", might be a Portugues word

Maritim. because in Arabic the Persian -i- is written as Persian -e- or without sound!

So pronounced in Persian it would be "maretim"?
