The Manchester-based tattooist is the man Becks trusts
Friday, 13 April 2007
Louis Molloy has confirmed to Nowmagazine.co.uk that he is the man who created David Beckham's new tattoo.
Becks has been popping into Louis's Middleton tattoo studio for years and has built up a relationship of trust with the body artist. He flew home from Madrid to get his latest ink creation.
'I completed the work four weeks ago,' reveals Louis, 44. 'I did the design - which is basically a guardian angel engulfed in flames with the phrase "Let them hate as long as they fear". He saw it and liked it.'
Reports have suggested that David was inspired by a character in Prison Break to have his forearm densely tattooed, but Louis reckons that's not true.
‘No. He’s always said about having a large piece of work done,' he insists. 'This one took about six hours – I did it in just session. And knowing David, he probably will have more.
‘I think it’s fair to say no one really enjoys getting tattoos as obviously it’s not a nice feeling but David’s quite good. He stays calm.’
