David first got the body art bug when he became a dad in 1999. To commemorate Brooklyn ’s birth, the then Man United star had his son’s name written in gothic script across his lower back.
Becks followed this up with a guardian angel a bit further up.
In 2000, David opted to have his wife Victoria’s name tattooed in Hindi on his left arm, believing it to be less tacky than having it etched in English. Sadly for Goldenballs, things didn’t go quite to plan, with the tribute being misspelt as “Vihctoria”.
David took a break from tatts for a couple of years, before having his shirt number for Man United and England – emblazoned on his right forearm in 2002.
2004 saw Becks get a large winged cross on the back of his neck, along with an Angel on his right arm with the motto "In the Face of Adversity".
Baby number three meant another trip to the tattoo parlour, with Becks having Cruz’s name inked at the bottom of his neck in 2005
The year 2008 was a busy one for Beckham body art. In March of that year the midfielder showed off a large Chinese motif running down his left rib-cage. The text translates as: "Death and life have determined appointments. Riches and honour depend upon heaven."
Beckham’s left arm became even more crowded with a line of Hebrew text that reads: “My son, do not forget my teaching but keep my commands in your heart.”

His latest piece of needle work, the scene covers the left side of his chest and depicts Jesus being helped out of his tomb by three cherubs. The cherubs are meant to represent his three sons -- Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz -- while Jesus represents him. David Beckham.
