Beckham’s Christian Body Art

It was only a few weeks ago that Becks stepped out in a yarmulke for his granddad’s funeral, but his latest ink puts him firmly back in God’s court.

Beckham has added to the doodle pad he calls a body with a new tattoo, as he is determined to see out his golden-balls years looking like this chap. The latest tattoo is of the big man himself. Jesus H Christ, in the flesh, er, on the flesh.

Sky News calls the tattoo controversial, but I say, if you love Jesus, go for it!  Beckham’s Jesus is from the painting ‘The Man of Sorrows’ by Matthew R Brooks which apparently depicts Jesus ‘on his way to the cross’, looks like he is sitting down to me, not on his way anywhere.

Becks’ new tattoo joins the number 7 on his arm, the crucifix on his neck, the guardian angel on his back and an angel on his right shoulder. If the midfielder fears being left out of heaven, I think he can stop worrying, he’s good. He also has tattoos featuring the names ‘Brooklyn’, ‘Romeo’ and ‘Cruz’, which are the names of his children and not pitbulls I’ve met in the dog parks of New York.

Jesus bows his head in shame as he realizes that after all that sacrifice, he has to look at David Beckham’s navel for the next 50 or so years.
