Why do ALL our sports stars suddenly feel the need to adorn themselves with tattoos?

And before you say to yourself that of course the likes of David Beckham have lots of ‘body art,’ be assured that I’m not talking about footballers at all.

England’s former cricket captain Andrew Flintoff not only has the Three Lions tattooed on one shoulder, but on the other he has the names of his wife and children.
Flintoff was a wonderful player at his best and we were exhilarated by the way he helped England win the Ashes in 2005. And yet, I think of him taking wickets that summer.
Every time he punched the air, screamed and grimaced, his face crazily contorted in a way that would have had him arrested on London’s Oxford Street. It was behaviour that goes alongside tattoos.
