Beckham is a proud owner of his 51 tattoos

16) Ut Avem Ut Foveam

The tattoo is of Latin phrase which says 'So that I love and cherish'. It is just seated below Victoria’s tattoo in Devanagari script.


17) Victoria

David wanted to show the love for his wife Victoria and decided a tattoo of her name on the inner side of his left forearm. Choosing to make it even more innovative, he opted for Devanagari script or the Hindu script. The tattoo eventually ended up spelling 'Vihctoria' and received a lot of flak.


18) I am beloved and my beloved is mine

On the occasion of their 6th anniversary, Beckham decided to pay tribute to his wife with this quote. The text is borrowed from the Book of Solomon and is also found inked on Victoria’s body.


19) Cupid and Psyche

The tattoo is based on a 15th century Renaissance painting by artist Francisco Francia. The tattoo displays the Love God Cupid carrying his wife Psyche to heaven. The only change Beckham made in the tattoo was the addition of a scarf on Psyche’s nude body.
