David Beckham's tattoo around his neck. What Beckham tattoo

The history of applying permanent drawings to the body counts several millennia. Today they are more fashionable than ever, and this is facilitated by the fact that they are actively adorned by their limbs, torso and even those who are classed as "rich and famous."

The reasons why people put tattoos on their bodies can be very different: someone wants to attract attention, others are trying to declare their philosophy of life, and there are those who express their love for their loved ones in this way. Take at least David Beckham. The tattoo of this former star of English football and one of the sex symbols of the last 20-15 years is mainly devoted to children and wife.

"Brooklyn"

The first tattoo of David Beckham was made in 1999. The reason for such a decisive step was a very important event in the life of the star - the birth of his first-born. The boy was called Brooklyn, and David inflicted on his lower back his tattoo with his name, using the letters of the Gothic font, arranged in a semicircle.

"Acquisitions" of 2000

Another tattoo of Beckham, on his back, appeared a few months after the appearance of the first. They became the image of a man with his head down and arms outstretched, measuring 15 by 10 cm, which was inflicted between the shoulder blades of a football player. On the question whether this picture can be considered a crucifix, Beckham replied in the negative, noting that it was a guardian angel defending Brooklyn.

In the same year 2000, David put on his left hand, slightly above the elbow of the tat "Victoria". Beckham decided to make it in Hindi, since he considered that in English his wife's name would look too banal. The word "Victoria" was divided into 4 syllables, each of them was translated separately and combined into one inscription.

David Beckham Tattoo, 2002

The birth of his son Romeo, the football player decided to mark on his body as well as in the case of the first-born. To this end, he applied his name over the figure of the guardian angel, who was equipped with large wings.

These were not the only David tattoos for 2002: a little later on the inside of his right hand he ordered an image of the Roman figure VII - the number under which he played in his favorite football team Manchester United and in the England squad.

2003

In honor of the fourth anniversary of the wedding with his wife Victoria, David drew a phrase in Latin on the tattoo with her name on her left hand , which translates as "I love and cherish", and under the number VII, the Latin phrase "Spiritual cultivation" soon appeared.

Then followed a trip to Madrid, after which appeared the first tattoo of Beckham on the neck, in the form of a winged cross. Its author was the famous master Louis Malloy, who in an interview noted that this work is a protective talisman for the children of David and Victoria.

Riddle from Beckham: Tattoo of 2004

Most controversy was caused by the appearance of an image on the right shoulder of a football player. The tattoo was an angel, next to which was an inscription in English, which translates as "In the face of danger." When asked why he decided to decorate his body with such a phrase, David did not give a direct answer, noting that everyone is free to express their feelings the way he wants.

2005 year

When David and Victoria had a third son - Cruz - Beckham decided not to break the tradition and added his name to the names of older children a little below the image of the angel.

2006

Over the years, David's love for Victoria only grew stronger, and in the seventh year of marriage they held a second, secret ceremony of exchanging vows of loyalty. In honor of this event on the right wrist of the player appeared Roman numerals VIII. V. MMVI and laconic inscription in Latin "again first."

As you know, Beckham is half Jewish. Apparently, this circumstance predetermined the appearance on his body of another tattoo depicting the cherubim and the inscription in Hebrew, which calls not to forget the teachings of the Lord and keep his decrees deep in the heart. It was put on the right hand of the football star, and on the left around the same time, Beckham portrayed an aphorism, all in the same Hebrew, saying "let them hate while they are afraid."

2007

In general, Victoria can rightly be proud of that huge love that she inspired her husband. This is evidenced by another decoration of the body Beckham - a tattoo on his left hand measuring 15 cm, depicting the former "Chic spice" in the image of Brigitte Bardot. It was made on the famous photo of 2004, and for the work the master received from David $ 5,000. A little later the image was supplemented with a Hebrew phrase that tells the world that "this woman" belongs to the owner of the tattoo, and he himself belongs to it.

2008 year

When the football player was in Hong Kong, he made a new tattoo in the form of hieroglyphics. Its meaning is analogous to the proverb "be hopeful in God, but not bad", with which it is difficult not to agree. Returning to England, David was carried away by the art of the Renaissance and painted on the body the image of Cupid, who takes his wife Psyche to heaven.

year 2009

On the tenth anniversary of a joint life, David decided to put on the left hand a ring of 10 roses, symbolizing the continuity of his marriage with Victoria.

2010 year

With age, religious themes became more and more interesting to Beckham. Tattoo is the best evidence. In particular, in 2010, in memory of the deceased grandfather, the athlete struck the ribs on the right side of the image of Christ, modeled after the painting "The Man of Suffering" by Matthew R. Brooks. Her creation took as long as six hours, and its author was Mark Mahoney.

On this David did not stop and decorated the right breast with a tattoo depicting Christ, which is pulled from the grave of the 3 cherub. By the way, many fans saw in the portrait of Christ the features of Beckham, and in cherubs - Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, especially as the tattoo was crowned with the inscription "Harper".

2011

The birth of a daughter David noted a tattoo in the form of a little girl, which is a symbol of family life, with the English word "Love". And in the photo with her image, which Victoria decided to share in "Twitter", the hand of Beckham holds the tiny handle of the newborn baby Harper.

Recently, no information on David's new tattoos appeared in the press. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the couple more, at least in public, did not express a desire to have another little son or daughter. Although the devil is not joking! After all, today the stars are in fashion "late" children!
