David Beckham Gets Yet Another New Tattoo
David Beckham, who has made his way to Dubai to begin training with his temporary new soccer team AC Milan, showed off a bit of new ink on his arm during one of his team training sessions this week. Becks added a new Biblical saying written in Hebraic on his already heavily-inked armsleeve tattoo … behold:
David Beckham unveiled his controversial new tattoo on the football pitch in Dubai today. The biblical proverb is said to have caused angry scenes in the Beckham house, with Victoria reportedly furious that her husband ignored her pleas not to add to his body art. The latest design can be seen tucked on the inside of Beckham’s already heavily-inked left arm. The design – created by Beckham’s regular artist Louis Malloy – is a Hebrew translation of “My son, do not forget my teaching but keep my commands in your heart.” It accompanies another Hebrew phrase on the same arm which reads: “I am my beloved and my beloved is mine”. Victoria has the same tattoo but probably won’t be rushing out to copy the new proverb any time soon. A source said: “Victoria doesn’t think David should have any more tattoos and tried to stop him having another. She likes them but wants a bit of his skin to be left, but David went ahead with it anyway.” Tension in the Beckham household also peaked earlier this year when the couple decided not to fly home for the 60th birthday of David’s father Ted shortly after his near-fatal heart attack. But Victoria, 34, tried to end the feud by holding a family Christmas at their mansion in Hertfordshire – which is when Beckham fitted in his visit to the tattoo parlour. A friend said: “She wanted the children to see everyone before they go to Italy.” England midfielder Beckham, on loan to the Italian club AC Milan, was in Dubai to attend a training session at Al-Nasr’s club ground. The football giants arrived yesterday to start their winter training camp in the Gulf emirate. It will culminate in the Dubai Football Challenge match against German team Hamburg.
To be quite honest, I wouldn’t've even noticed this new tattoo if it wasn’t brought to my attention. With arm sleeves, it’s difficult to tell when a new tattoo has been added to the mix. It seems to me that Becks won’t be finished with his tattooing until he completely fills in both arms. Whether or not any new Bible sayings will be added to his body art remains to be seen but it seems that he gets the itch to add new ink almost on a yearly basis. As y’all may recall, he got his first armsleeve tattooed last year and then got the tattoo of Vicki B. on his arm sometime earlier this year. Yeah, I don’t think he’s anywhere near the end of his tattoo obsession … whether we like it or not.

@Roxster — I don’t know that I’ll have to time to do a year-long retrospective this time … since our Iceland trip got axed at the last sec, I’m scrambling to regroup

oh Trent very true…I keep forgetting the year IS over (obvs I need more time off from work). This year hasn’t been as a big newsworthy one for Becks anyway..drooling over last years will more then suffice :) I hope you and David can up with some good New Years plans!!
