David Beckham has revealed the latest addition to his enormous portfolio of skin art, depicting Jesus sitting on the cross.
The ink-obsessed England ace showed off the iconic inking during victory celebrations following AC Milan’s 3-0 win over Juventus at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin.
It is the fourth tattoo depicting religious iconography that Becks has had inscribed on his body.
He already has a crucifix on the back of his neck and a couple of guardian angels – one on his right shoulder and the other between his shoulder blades.
In his first autobiography My World, Beckham 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."
The 34-year-old wore a blue skullcap at his grandfather’s funeral in Golders Green, a Jewish area of north London.

The tattoo, on the right-hand side of the footballer's torso, is taken from the painting called Man of Sorrows by Matthew R Brooks, founder of a group called Art for the Catholic Restoration.
