Beckham is a proud owner of his 51 tattoos

25) Latin phrase

Latin phrase meaning Spiritual imperfection. The Manchester United legend went for another Latin phrase tattoo, this time on his right arm. The tattoo reads "Perfectio In Spiritu", which means Spiritual Perfection.


26) VII

David took a break from tattoos from several years before getting the number 7 tattooed on to his inner right forearm, written in Roman numerals. The number is special to him as it's his shirt number he donned for Manchester United and England. It is also the middle name of his daughter Harper.


27) Cross

Beckham has the tattoo on the inner side of his right arm which fails to get noticed most of the time. The Cross is a representation of the Knights Templar.


28) Roman number

In 2006 David and Victoria got matching wrist tattoos of the Roman numerals VIII.V.MMVI, which stand for the date of their secret commitment ceremony on May 8, 2006.


29) Swallow

The swallow is a popular tattoo made by the sailors who used the tats to represent how far they had travelled. In Beckham’s case, the swallow tattoo represents the love and devotion he has towards his family.
