Becks' boys want tats

David Beckham’s sons are desperate to get tattoos like him.

The football star – who has boys Brooklyn, 10, Romeo, six, and four-year-old Cruz with wife Victoria Beckham – has revealed his children are so impressed with his body art they are keen to copy it.

He explained: “One of them said to me recently, ‘How old do I have to be before I get my first tattoo?’ I was like, ‘A lot older than you are now!’ ”

The 34-year-old sportsman is famed for his intricate inkings, and sports sleeves of tattoos on both arms.

He recently unveiled his newest addition, a ring of roses emblazoned on his left arm.

Victoria, 35, is also a fan of body art – she has several tattoos, including five stars on her lower back, a Hebrew saying down her spine and her husband’s initials on her wrist – but is believed to be trying to convince him not to add to his collection.
