    The footballer debuted a brand new inking to fans on facebook – a tribute to his three sons

    Just when we thought there wasn’t a spare space on his body, David Beckham has added yet another new tattoo to his collection – a classical inking depicting himself and his two sons.

    The footballing star was so excited about his new tattoo, he took straight to facebook to show it off to fans, uploading several detailed pictures. 

    ‘I know some of you like them and some of you aren't so keen, but I wanted to share my new tattoo with you all on Facebook first...,’ he wrote.

    The classical inking depicts Jesus and three cherubs, which, apparently, represent him and three sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.

    ‘It’s Jesus being carried by three cherubs, and obviously the three cherubs are boys,’ David revealed in an interview.

    The sprawling tattoo, on the left side of his chest, took two painful sessions, and a whopping 12 hours in total. Ouch.

    ‘Everything has a meaning that I’ve got on me,’ he adding, referring to his impressive collection.

    With already more than 18 other inkings, 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 Jesus sitting on the cross, and 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 could be? Let us know your verdict in the comments box below.
