The 3rd one is on his left forearm. It is a known fact that Durinho is a religious man. And as a token of respect to his religion, he has got a tattoo which says ‘filipenses 4:13’. To those who don’t know, filipenses is the Spanish term for Phillipians which is a book of the Bible in the New Testament. Philippians 4:13 quotes “I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me“.

The final tattoo on Gilbert’s arm is at the back of his left arm. It is a Chinese tattoo inscribed on his arm.
