David Beckham has revealed his latest tattoo - a Renaissance-inspired body-art of Cupid and Psyche. The inkwork has been inspired from a painting by 15th century artist Francesco Francia showing god of love Cupid carrying wife Psyche to heaven.
However, the AC Milan ace, 34, has had a veil drawn on her to protect her modesty. The footballer unveiled the tattoo after his side's 0-0 draw at rivals Roma over the weekend.
"Perhaps David thought it was a little rude for some of his younger fans," the Mirror quoted an AC Milan source as saying.
The latest body-art apparently totals Becks' tattoo- count to 14.
His last one was also based on a painting - British artist Matthew R Brooks' depiction of a bleeding Christ.
In his memoirs, 'Both Feet on the Ground', Beckham said of his tattoos, "They're about the important people in my life, my wife and sons."
