Everything You Need to Know About David Beckham’s Tattoos

David Beckham, 47, was a midfielder for Manchester United and England. He has had a big life, so it makes sense that he would want to remember the best parts in a unique way. David is known for having so many tattoos that it’s hard to tell where one ends and the next one starts. Because of this, it’s hard to say exactly how many pieces of ink David has, but Men’s Health thinks it’s somewhere between 60 and 80.

David himself said that the tattoos mean a lot to him on a deep level. In a 2016 commercial for his work with Biotherm Homme skincare, he talked about some of them, saying, “The story of my life is written on my skin.” Don’t try to figure it out by looking at me.” Read on to find out more about David’s impressive body art collection.

Brooklyn, Cruz, Romeo, & Harper

Some of David’s most beloved tattoos are of his four children: three sons and one daughter. His oldest child, Brooklyn Beckham, has his nickname, “Buster,” tattooed on the right side of David’s neck. His youngest child, Harper Beckham, has her first name, “pretty lady,” “I love you,” and a rose written in cursive on the left side of David’s neck. David’s sons are also on his back, along with an angel in a crucifix pose. The first name of Romeo Beckham is written on his neck, the first name of Cruz Beckham is written halfway down his back, and the word “Brooklyn” is written at the bottom.

David’s sons show up again in a complicated tattoo on the left side of his chest that has religious meaning. In it, three cherubs, which stand for his three sons, look like they are lifting Jesus out of a tomb. David told Men’s Health in a Facebook video that the tattoo shows “Jesus being carried by three cherubs, which are obviously boys. I thought, “Someday, my boys will have to take care of me, and that’s what they’re doing in the picture.

Harper gives David another nod with a stick figure and a heart she drew on his right palm. In the Biotherm Homme ad, he said, “One day, I was watching Harper draw.” “I thought, ‘I’m going to get that on my body.

Lady in a forest

On the other side of the footballer’s cherubs and Jesus is a mysterious woman in a forest, and Becks also has a cross at the top of his sternum. David hasn’t said anything in public about what the woman in the forest of trees means.

The ship

David has a tattoo of a ship under his right armpit. This is said to be a tribute to his father, Ted Beckham, who has the same tattoo.

More Biblical and Religious Imagery

David has a tattoo on his right side of Jesus with a halo and his hands clasped in front of him. This is said to be a tribute to his late maternal grandfather, Joe West, who was the father of David’s mother, Sandra Beckham. This tattoo seems to be based on the painting The Man of Sorrows by Matthew R. Brooks.

David has a full sleeve on his right arm, starting at the shoulder with an angel and the words “In the Face of Adversity.” This is said to be a reference to the effects of an affair he had with an assistant in 2004 that got a lot of attention. On his right bicep, he has more cherubs, which are again for his sons. On his forearm, he has detailed clouds and another angel with the words “Let Them Hate As Long as They Fear” and “Pray For Me.” The last one was reportedly added when he moved from Manchester United to LA Galaxy, which was a big deal. There are two more cherubs running on the lower left leg. This was supposedly done by artist Mark Mahoney in 2016. David posted about the addition on his own Instagram feed and called it a “nice little shin piece.

Body Art Guru says that a cross with wings in a gothic style is above Romeo’s name on the back of David’s neck. This is a “protective talisman” for David. On his right ribcage is a long passage from the Bible, but the words are hard to read.

In Honor of Victoria

It’s no secret that David, who has been married to Victoria Beckham for 19 years, has several tattoos dedicated to her. Victoria is 48 years old. Much of the ink on the athlete’s left sleeve is inspired by the ex-Spice Girl and current fashion designer. It all starts with a piece of art depicting Cupid carrying Psyche to heaven, in the style of the Renaissance. The Hebrew phrase for “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine,” followed by ten roses, a dark section flecked with lighter stars, an image of Victoria surrounded by foliage, and the words “Ut Amem Et Foveam” (“to love and cherish”) complete the design. Along with her name in Sanskrit, David also inscribed the words “Forever By Your Side” as a tribute to the mother of his children.

Reportedly representing both David and Victoria are a rose at his throat, the words “daddy do it,” and a black horse. On his right hand is a hummingbird and the words “Dream Big Be Unrealistic,” a reference to Jay-now-iconic Z’s concert quote from his On the Run tour with Beyonce, which also features her name written in cursive. His wedding date of July 4, 1999, is memorialized on his hand with the number “99” and the words “My Love.” Finally, David and Victoria both have matching tattoos on their wrists that read “de integro” in Latin, which roughly translates to “again from the beginning,” and the Roman numeral date of May 8, 2006. Body Art Guru claims that on that day, the couple secretly exchanged vows.

Jersey Numbers

According to Body Art Guru, David has the Roman Numeral VII tattooed on his right forearm, which refers to his jersey number for Manchester United and the England National Team. The tattoo’s meaning, “spiritual perfection,” comes from the Latin phrase “Perfection In Spiritu.” His shirt number for the 2009 season with the AC Milan Club, the number 32, is tattooed on his right hand, close to the hummingbird. Again, his left hand “723” signifies his number 7 LA Galaxy jersey and his number 23 Real Madrid jersey.

The Chinese Proverb Tattoo

According to Body Art Guru, the Chinese adage on David’s left torso reads, “Life and death have determined appointments; riches and honor depend upon heaven.” Supposedly taken from Confucius’s The Analects.

Additional Animal Imagery

David has a pair of little birds on his left neck, a lion’s face on his left thigh, and another bird on his left calf.
