 Wishful Inking...

It's that time again (not Halloween, though I've got my costume, carved a pumpkin and made cupcakes...not that I'm exited or anything.) It's midweek, or as I refer to it "that crappy in between time of the week where it's not quite awful enough to be Monday, but nowhere near good enough to be Friday"... Anyway, another day has passed where I've resisted the urge to get inked, but another day I'll spend thinking of what will decorate my body next.

So, to continue my theme of tattoos don't make us reprobate thugs with half a brain cell, I give you my next witness (who's so good looking it's not even funny) Mr David Beckham.

"Beckham was not merely an athlete; he was an international brand that smartly fused a handsomeness that bordered on beauty with athleticism, marketing savvy and an eager embrace of the role of pop idol."- New York Times

In case you've been living under a rock for the past 11 years: David Beckham: Former footballer for Man United, Real Madrid and LA Galaxy to mention a few... Don't worry ladies this is not a football lecture for those of you who can't bear the game, though I don't know why, hot guys + tight shirts....I'm getting sidetracked...BACK to reality! Mr Beckham now can be seen in all his tatted glory as the face (or crotch) of H&M's men's underwear campaign, much to the happiness of myself and all of those missing the days of Becks' Calvin Klein modelling. 

In addition to being incredibly hot and athletic, (I'll stop now) Becks' is even a successful businessman. From 2007 he has had agreements with Adidas, Gilette, Pepsi, Walt Disney, Giorgio Armani, Sharpie, Yahoo, Electronic Arts, Samsung, Sainsbury's and Breitling. Even the fragrance world has been conquered by him and his beautiful wife Victoria, as they share their successful fragrance label "Intimately Beckham" for all you guys and dolls.

Despite his talents, riches and fame, David Beckham is the epitome of a family man, and It'd be rude not to mention the beautiful Mrs B a.k.a "Posh." Fellow tattoo enthusiast, model, fashion designer, business woman and SPICE GIRL, Victoria has long been a fashion icon featuring on the cover of Vogue, the runway of Roberto Cavalli and former face of Marc Jacobs. Since then she has moved on to bigger things, forming her own brand Victoria Beckham offering ready to wear dresses, handbags, eye wear and denim.
Get a load of this, even Posh and Becks' children are fashion icons, with 10 year old son Romeo working with high fashion brand Burberry.

I'll revert to my previous statement: Tattoos don't make us reprobate thugs with half a brain cell.
David Beckham he is a young child's idol and a model father. To top it off he is a man of many philanthropic interests. One of the founding members of "Malaria No More," supporter of "Help for Heroes" UNICEF ambassador and co-founder of Victoria and David Beckham Charitable Trust. This is just the beginning of his charity efforts.
Yes, David Beckham is covered in tattoos, but yes he is an amazing aspirational figure. I know I'd rather have my children aim to be like him over a deceptive suit wearing politician just because their skin isn't tattooed.
