SEE David Beckham’s new Jesus tattoo
By Eleanor Young on Wednesday 13 January 2010
David Beckham has added another tattoo to his collection, this time a picture of Jesus sitting on the cross.
The black and white religious depiction on the right side of his torso is based on a painting called The Man Of Sorrows by Catholic artist Matthew R Brooks.
But it seems this latest inking has no real religious meaning to the star.
‘David has an appreciation of religious art and iconography and the new tattoo reflects that. However, unlike a lot of his other designs, there is no specific meaning behind it,' one insider said.
‘Each tattoo he opts for is very carefully considered. It's more than a hobby for him - it's almost spiritual,' they continued.
With already more than 17 other tattoos, we're surprised David could find any room for his latest skin sketching.
Among others, Becks already has a crucifix on the back of his neck and a couple of guardian angels on his shoulders, as well as ten roses linked around his arm - a tribute to Victoria on their 10th wedding anniversary.
What do you think of David's latest work of art? Let us know your verdict in the comments box below.

Oh my! Doesn't he still look amazing?! I'm not overly a fan of the new tattoos, though - why is he covering his lovely body with horrible ink?!

David rocks no matter the inks!

It is interesting to know that David Beckham has an appreciation of religious art and iconography. Just as I have an appreciation of the off side rule, but absolutely no understanding of it. Oh the powers of PR.........

He better slow down on those tatts before he runs out of skin space.
