Tattoo awful, David

HISTORY will not be kind to David Beckham. he’ll not be remembered as the good-looking international footballer he is, but as a tattooed freak who influenced a generation to similarly disfigure themselves.

I read recently that his son Brooklyn has said he would start off with a small inking and end up looking like his dad. I hope his mother, Victoria, has the good sense to make sure this doesn’t happen.

If Beckham senior allows his son to copy him, he’ll have a father and son freak show.

It’s time for him to come of age and start removing those tattoos. BOB hArriS, address supplied.
