David Beckham: “Let them hate as long as they fear�

Injured David unveiled the intricate artwork on Sunday (08.04.07).

The star’s latest tattoo, which took a grueling six hours to complete,
includes words from a Roman poem, which sources believe are a message to
people who have slammed his talent.

Translated, the words read: “Let them hate as long as they fear.�

A source said: “David has always used tattoos to express his thoughts. He
believes his tattoos can ward off negativity and help him battle adversity.�

Meanwhile, The Guardian UK reports that police in Macedonia said on Friday they were unsure whether the country's interior minister was driving David Beckham's stolen BMW.

"We cannot confirm that this is Beckham's jeep," a police spokesman said, after local media reported that minister Gordana Jankulovska's new official car was Beckham's missing 4x4.

In 2005, Macedonian police impounded a BMW X5 on the Macedonia-Albania border in a raid on a people-smuggling gang. Police later said they suspected the car had been stolen from the Real Madrid and ex-England star in the Spanish capital.
