Los Angeles, July 1 (AZINS) Former footballer David Beckham has got himself inked with a tattoo of a Minion on his arm. The new inking was chosen by his daughter Harper.

The 40-year-old footballer was inspired by his three-year-old daughter to get the tattoo of the "Despicable Me" character added to his already packed collection of body art, reports eonline.com. 

David's wife Victoria Beckham took to Twitter to post a photograph of the creature adorning her husband's arm. 

"Harper has just added to Daddie's tattoo collection... happy Tuesday in the sunshine, (sic)," she captioned the photograph. 

However, the inking is not permanent and a spokesperson for the couple has confirmed that the image of the Minion is just a transfer. 

David, who also has three sons, 16-year-old Brooklyn, 12-year-old Romeo and 10-year-old Cruz, with Victoria, is famous for the tribute tattoos to his family he has all over his body.
