David Beckham reveals new Jesus tattoo
Table of Contents
David Beckham has revealed the latest addition to his enormous portfolio of skin art, depicting Jesus sitting on the cross.
The ink-obsessed England ace showed off the iconic inking during victory celebrations following AC Milan’s 3-0 win over Juventus at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin.
It is the fourth tattoo depicting religious iconography that Becks has had inscribed on his body.
He already has a crucifix on the back of his neck and a couple of guardian angels – one on his right shoulder and the other between his shoulder blades.
In his first autobiography My World, Beckham said: "I’ve probably had more contact with Judaism than with any other religion.
"I used to wear the traditional Jewish skullcaps when I was younger and I also went along to some Jewish weddings with my grandfather."
The 34-year-old wore a blue skullcap at his grandfather’s funeral in Golders Green, a Jewish area of north London.

The tattoo, on the right-hand side of the footballer's torso, is taken from the painting called Man of Sorrows by Matthew R Brooks, founder of a group called Art for the Catholic Restoration.
