Re: Fashion icon or football thug?

I really can't see what the fuss is about - as has been said, it's his body and he can choose what to do with it. Kink's pretty much summed it up - most tattooists advise against tattoos on the neck etc but Beckham has the money (and the celebrity) to just do what he wants.

The Mirror on Saturday had on their front page (and I'm paraphrasing 'cos I can't remember the exact wording) 'The tattoo that makes Beckham look like a hooligan'. It's been said before elsewhere, but it's this sort of inflammatory comment that causes problems - at the end of the day, the tattoo's not that bad (although it's not the best I've seen), and it obviously means something to him.

At the end of the day, Beckhamââ‚à ‚¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s the same as everybody else †“ if he regrets any of his tattoos in later life, heâ₠¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢ll have to pay to get rid of them (although I accept that heâ₠¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s got more money than most).

Personally, I have 3 tattoos (one on each upper arm and one on my back), but wouldnââ‚Ã⠀šÃ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t have one where it was always on show †“ I got them for myself, and show them when I want. However, the point remains that itââ‚ ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s his choice so let him make it and, if there are any, let him suffer the consequences.
