David Beckham, a former football player, and current baller has at least 67 distinguishable tattoos. However, the actual number is likely closer to 80, given the complexity of the designs on his sleeves and more recent additions to his legs. Beckham’s tattoos are consistent, in contrast to those of Post Malone, Harry Styles, and perhaps Drake, who are members of or on the verge of joining the octogenarian tattoo club. Beckham’s art is consistent; he inks using a consistent technique and iconography selections, including religious and renaissance artwork as well as cursive text, even if he has added sleeve sections encircling and covering earlier work.

Beckham also maintains a somewhat tidy face and abdomen. His spine and shoulders’ natural lines are likewise depicted in the tattoo on his back, which gives the artwork strong movement. In conclusion, Beckham looks good despite being covered. The link is effective.

Additionally, there is a consistent hand at work, which undoubtedly aids. Mark Mahoney, a tattoo artist from London who has inked many famous people, including Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie, is the main tattoo artist for David Beckham.

Beckham has a big angel hanging on his back in the crucifixion position between the letters “Romeo” on his neck and “Cruz” in the middle of his spine. Brooklyn is written on the lower part of his back. Beckham’s sons are represented by these three name tattoos.
