Beckham gets Jesus tattoo

Soccer superstar David Beckham has added a black and white image of Jesus Christ to his collection of 17 tattoos as a tribute to his grandfather, who recently died.

The new image, drawn on Beckham’s lower right abdomen, is based on a painting called ‘The Man Of Sorrows’ by Catholic artist Matthew Brooks.

It will certainly be stuck with him for a long time!
