Review:
From an early age I was forced to watch soccer, as there was only one TV at home, and my father and grandfather terrorized the whole family with such fan sessions. My opinion was finally confirmed when I first saw handsome Beckham, who won my heart at first sight, both as a soccer player and as a man. As a teenager, I had already dreamed of getting a tattoo of my favorite player, but my parents were naturally not crazy about the idea. After much persuasion, my dad took pity on me and took me to the salon in person. Now I have David under my left breast and I'm insanely happy!

Review:
And I have almost my whole body full of England team symbols, which I've been systematically doing since I was twenty-two years old. I like my tattoos, my friends also appreciate them. But not so long ago I faced a problem: girls think it's tasteless, and many of them even don't understand what I have on and what's the point of it. Lately I've been seeing only girls who cheer for my favorite team - they certainly love it).
