London, July 15 - Football star David Beckham is so fascinated with tattoos that he ignored his wife Victoria's pleas to avoid another one and went ahead and inked his body again -- this time with a ring of roses on his left arm.

Beckham is said to be planning a pair of 'tattoo sleeves' covering his right and left arms. In December last year, he is said to have angered his wife by adding a biblical proverb to his arm, reported dailymail.co.uk.

'Victoria doesn't think David should have any more tattoos and tried to stop him having another. She likes them but wants a bit of his skin to be left, but David went ahead with it anyway,' said a source close to the couple.
