The London-based tattooist proudly showed off a pirate design on the left arm of Wrexham's top scorer on social media. Lee is the latest in a long line of celebrities who have visited the artist, who has worked his way from the streets of his native Peru to London's Dalston where regular visitors to his studio include Beckham's three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.

It seems that many a footballer heads to east London on a day off. As well as the Beckhams, Certified Letter Boy's client list includes the likes of Lauren James, Beth Mead, Keira Walsh and Jordan Nobbs.
DID YOU KNOW?
Certified Letter Boy – also known as Pablo – began his career inking footballers at a slightly lower level. He told Vogue magazine that his first commissions were on friends at his local favela football pitch: "I bought my own tattoo machine and started practising on my friends. I taught myself until I believed I was good enough to move to London. Eventually I managed to get a job in Dalston."

With bitter temperatures forecast for Wrexham's FA Cup second round trip to Yeovil on Sunday, Lee might well be best advised to keep the new artwork under a base-layer or two for the time being. Regardless, he'll be hoping to be back on the scoresheet, with Lee finding the net in the Red Dragons' 2-2 draw with Harrogate on Tuesday night.
