One could say that he is the king of fashion in football. Everything about him oozes class and it is no wonder that he is one of the most marketable faces in football. When it comes to body art, Beckham isn’t shy to show off his beliefs through them.

On his right hip is the tattoo of the Man of Sorrows, that he engraved after his grandfather died, accompanied by a Chinese proverb on the left hip which translates to, “life and death have determined appointments, riches and honour depend upon heaven.” The name of his daughter can be seen on his left collarbone whilst the number ‘VII’, his jersey number while at United, is engraved on his lower right arm. His wife, Victoria, can be seen on his lower left arm, a tattoo inspired from a Brigitte Bardot photoshoot.

His left chest consists of himself as Jesus with his three sons as cheerubs, who are pictured lifting him out of the tomb. The former England skipper’s back contains numerous drawings, including the names of his children, Brooklyn and Romeo. And in the middle of these two names is a sketch of the guardian angel, which was his first tattoo.

Finally, his arms are filled with complex designs that include a female figure, the name of his wife, Victoria, in Sanskrit and numerous intricate illustrations that catch the eye.
