David's new tatt needles Posh

Picture: David Beckham

FOR such a clean-living sportsman, DAVID BECKHAM has had a skinful.
The England midfielder has gone and got himself yet another tattoo — and his missus isn’t happy.
The new marking on his left arm is a biblical proverb written in Hebrew.
It reads: “My son, do not forget my teaching but keep my commands in your heart.”
I’m surprised he had enough space left on his skin for all that.
Insiders say Becks is chuffed with the result. But VICTORIA thinks her hubby is overdoing the body art and has been pleading with him to stop.
The star’s latest work was done by his regular tattooist, LOUIS MALLOY, after he and Posh returned to the UK with kids BROOKLYN, ROMEO and CRUZ to spend Christmas here.
A source revealed: “Victoria doesn’t think David should have any more tattoos and tried to stop him having another. She likes his tatts but wants a bit of his skin to be left, yet David went ahead with it anyway.
“She is worried he is hooked and she doesn’t know where it will all end. He is a very healthy bloke.
“He doesn’t smoke, barely drinks and looks after his body very carefully. But his addiction is tattoos.
“So while his insides are as clean as a whistle, his outsides are quite the opposite.”
This is not Becks’ first Hebrew scribbling. The footie legend — on loan from US team LA Galaxy to AC Milan — also has the Hebrew phrase: “I am my beloved and my beloved is mine” on his left arm.

Trust

I somehow doubt Becks’ Hebrew is fluent, so he is putting an awful lot of trust in inkman Louis.
For all the former Man Utd star knows, he could have the Man City team’s names scrawled over his arm.
As for Posh’s attempts to stop him going OTT, I’ve an idea for a proverb to add to her own modest collection of tattoos.
I suggest: “It is too late to shut the stable door after the horse has bolted.”
