Becks reveals it's hip to be religious with new Jesus ink work on his side
The AC Milan player flashed the new tattoo emblazoned across his love handle during a sizzling performance on the pitch against Juventus over the weekend.
It's not the first time Becks has made a body pledge to God, as his new black and white image of The Man Of Sorrows by artist Matthew R. Brooks is his third religious tattoo.
Included in the 17 visible scribbles scrawled across his body are the names of his three boys and wife as well as a crucifix on his neck above a guardian angel placed between his shoulder blades.
His ink job is the latest public religious outing for Becks, who revealed his Jewish roots by wearing a blue skullcap to the funeral of his grandfather, Joe West, last year.
In the past the 34-year-old has said: 'I've probably had more contact with Judaism than with any other religion.
'I used to wear the traditional Jewish skullcaps when I was younger, and I also went along to some Jewish weddings with my grandfather.'
Don't mind me: Becks swaps his shorts on the pitch
But the tattoo shock was not as big as the bum flash Beckham gave Italian fans during the game.
Beckham took advertising his Emporio Armani kecks into his own hands after swapping shorts in the middle of the pitch during his team's 3-0 thrashing of Juventus.
The star was keen to prove his is in fine shape ahead of this year's World Cup in South Africa when he then peeled off his top to flex his muscles for fans, revealing the tattoo at the same time.
