Since retiring from soccer, David Beckham is putting his passion into body art.

The 38-year-old sports legend showed off his 33rd tattoo on the right side of his chest as he took his kids to Malibu beach on Thursday.

Per the U.K. Daily Mail, Beckham's latest design is a little tough to make out as of yet, but it's said to be a portrait of Jesus drawn to look like David being lifted from his tomb by three cherubs, representing Beckham's three young sons,14-year-old Brooklyn, 11-year-old Romeo and 8-year-old Cruz.

Standing near them is also the image of a woman and while 2-year-old daughter Harper doesn't appear to have made it into the scene, she does have her name scrawled across his left side.

It looks like with this latest ink, he'll have to update those sexy, shirtless H&M underwear promo pics now.

The tattoo is a gift from wife Victoria Beckham who bought him a voucher for his birthday in May so he could go get inked at his favorite tattoo parlor.

In any case, the shirtless wonder and his perfect physique wore a big grin as he spent time boogie boarding with his boys, and snapped photos of them riding the waves. Victoria and Harper were MIA, but dad and the kids were accompanied on the outing by the latter's blonde nanny.

Beckham, the famed Manchester United footballer who served as England's captain before spending a five year stint playing with the Los Angeles Galaxy and Paris St.-Germain, formally hung up his cleats in May.
