It runs in the blood! David Beckham is honoring his wife, Victoria Beckham, with a tattoo, just as his youngest son, Cruz Beckham, did weeks ago.
The former Manchester United and English Midfielder, who already has countless other tattoos dedicated to his wife of 24 years and his four children: sons Brooklyn Joseph, 24, Romeo James, 21, Cruz David, 18, and daughter Harper, 12, specifically got a new one to remember his wife's glory days.
David Beckham Gets 'Posh' Tattoo Inscribed on Middle Finger
The former professional footballer seemingly felt ecstatic and thrilled after getting a new ink, which was a nod to his wife, Victoria's, ''Spice Girls'' nickname.
During an exclusive chat with The Sun, David, who already has over 60 tattoos designed on his body, spoke about his latest ink tribute to Victoria. He revealed, ''I've just had 'Posh' done β¦ any of the tattoos I've got are of the family.''
Days before, the retired soccer player hinted at his 61st tattoo with a carousel of photos on Instagram displaying the moment he got inked at a tattoo parlor.
In the first slide, David, opting for a gray T-shirt, had his tattoo-covered hand stretched out to the iconic tattoo artist, Mark Mahoney, who skillfully designed the significant tattoo on his finger.
Although David did not give a clear view of the artistic work, the word ''Posh'' was inscribed in a fancy font across the London native's middle finger, right next to his wedding-band-adorned ring finger.
The second slide was a closeup view of Mahoney diligently designing the ink on the former footballer's finger. Aside from his post amassing over 400k likes, fans took to the comments section to express their admiration for his devotion to his wife, seeing the other tattoos he designed on his body in her honor.
One fan wrote, ''Victoria in Hindi π’π₯.'' Two other Instagram users echoed the same sentiment, with one writing, ''That Victoria tattoo in Hindi is π₯π₯π₯. Love from India,'' while another penned, ''He has a tattoo in Hindi 'VICTORIA' π₯πβ€οΈ.''
A fourth commenter added, ''DAVIDπ YOU HAVE GREAT TATTOOS ππΎππΎππΎππΎβΌοΈ KARIN β€οΈ.'' ''Wow Just Fire π€©π₯π₯,'' expressed another admirer.
Interestingly, David got his ''Posh'' tattoo inspiration from his youngest son Cruz, who initially got Victoria's legendary ''Spice Girls'' nickname tattooed on his body before the former England Midfielder replicated the gesture.
Earlier this month, the 18-year-old singer visited a London-based celebrity tattoo artist, Pablo, to get the ink. Showing off the artistic work, the tattoo artist uploaded a series of black-and-white photos of the ink he designed on Cruz's right arm.
In the first slide, Cruz, who donned an Adidas T-shirt, flaunted the tattoo that read, ''Posh,'' written in an elegant script font on his elbow.
''Posh @cruzbeckham π«,'' the London-based tattoo artist captioned the Instagram carousel. He added, ''I think we all get the vibe here don't we? π₯ Thank you for the trust my g π Made at @thelondonsocial π«.''
Other Meaningful Tattoos David Has Gotten In Honor Of Victoria
The former national team captain seemingly enjoys getting tattoos dedicated to his fashion designer wife. He impressively has a large portion of his body designed with objects and words conveying his affection for his wife.
His left ink sleeve begins at the top with Renaissance-style art of a Cupid taking his wife Psyche up to heaven. Underneath it are ten roses, a dark section spangled with lighter stars, and an image of the fashion designer surrounded by foliage and the words ''Ut Ameme Et Foveam'' (''to love and cherish''), as well as the Hebrew phrase for ''I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine,'' and yet another rose.
The London native's tribute to the mother of his children also includes her name in Sanskrit and the words ''Forever By Your Side.''
The current president and co-owner of Inter Miami further has a rose on his throat, the words, ''dadda do it, and a black horse, which also reportedly represents Victoria.
On his right hand, her name is up again in cursive with a hummingbird and the phrase ''Dream Big Be Unrealistic,'' a nod to Jay-Z's famed concert quote from his ''On The Run'' tour with Beyonce.
''My Love'' also appears on his hand, as does the number ''99'' to celebrate his July 4, 1999 wedding date. Finally, the famous couple share matching tattoos with the Latin phrase 'de intergo' on their wrists, which roughly means, ''again from the start,'' along with the Roman numeral date of May 8, 2006. It is alleged that they had a private commitment ceremony on that date.
