David Beckham got yet another tattoo on Wednesday after stopping by family tattoo artist Pablo, also known as Certified Letter Boy, in London The former England football star, 49, showed off his new artwork which was a detailed pair of hands clapped together praying The tattoo artist penned: 'New tattoo for @davidbeckham. Thank you for the trust, DB' David got the number '99' tattooed on his little finger to mark the year he got married to wife Victoria, 1999 was also the year in which his eldest son Brooklyn was born. Debuting it on Instagram, the retired footballer wrote, '99 was a good year for me.
' Weeks before that, he had the words Pretty Lady inked above his daughter's name Harper on his neck, in honour of his Harper's fourth birthday. If that weren't enough the doting dad debuted the word 'Dada' and Harper's middle name seven on his finger in 2017. In 2000, he was back at the tattoo studio and emerged with a large guardian angel in the middle of his upper back.
The sweet idea behind the design is that the angel is watching over Brooklyn’s name below. In the same year, David pledged his devotion to wife Victoria with a tattoo of her name in Hindi script. Experts later pointed out the tribute, unfortunately, actually said 'Vihctoria'.
After the birth of their second son Romeo in 2002, David added his name above the guardian angel - which had been tweaked and given impressive wings.

As football fans will know, the number is special to the former midfielder as it’s the number on his shirt for Manchester United and England.
In 2003, he got a Latin inking on left inner arm reading ‘So that I love and cherish’ and ‘Spiritual perfection’ onto his right. Later in that year, he celebrated his move to Real Madrid by flying over his tattooist Louis Malloy to create the cross design on his back. In more recent years, he has moved away from his crowded arms to create works on his torso, including a religious scene depicting Jesus being carried by three cherubs, believed to represent him and his three sons.
He also has a scene of a woman in a forest over the right-hand side of his chest and in 2010, added an image of Jesus below his ribcage. The image is based on a painting called The Man Of Sorrows by Catholic artist Matthew R. Brooks and is believed to be another tribute to his grandfather Joe, who passed away aged 83 the year before.
Speaking about how he chooses his designs, the iconic star has explained: ‘They’re about the important people in my life, who I want to have with me always.' Last year, the footballer's sons marked the strong bond they share as they got matching tattoos by Certified Letter Boy. Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz, each had the word 'Brotherhood' inked on different parts of their body.
