Sexy soccer star David Beckham has got himself a new tattoo of Jesus, despite his declared links to Judaism.
The British athlete wrote in his first biography, My World, that he has a connection to Judaism, the UK’s Daily Mail reported.
“I’ve probably had more contact with Judaism than with any other religion,” he wrote.
“I used to wear the traditional Jewish skullcaps when I was younger, and I also went along to some Jewish weddings with my grandfather.”
David recently showed off his new ink after his team, AC Milan, defeated Juventus 3-0 in Turin.
The 34-year-old stripped off his shirt after the match revealing the large tattoo, a replica of The Man of Sorrows by artist Matthew R Brooks, placed on the lower right-hand side of his abdomen.
Becks is slowly turning into a human canvas, as his long list of tattoos continues to grow.
His multi-faith collection of tattoos includes a crucifix, guardian angel, Chinese proverbs and a Hebrew inscription usually found on Jewish wedding rings (“I am my beloved’s, my beloved is mine”).
He also has his old Manchester United shirt number tattooed in Roman numerals on his right arm, his children’s names on his back and his wife Victoria’s name misspelled in Hindi, the Daily Mail reported.
