On May 2, on the occasion of David Beckham's 47th birthday, the British Daily Star dug deep into several iconic tattoos on his body to pay tribute to the outstanding former footballer.
There are more than 60 tattoos on her body, each with its own story, and as he says when he endorses Biotherm Homme, "The story of my life is written on my skin." ”
It is reported that many of Xiaobei's tattoos are designed by the famous tattoo artist Mark Mahoney in Los Angeles. Speaking about how it felt to tattoo the famous star, Mark told The Times, "David is a superman. He didn't feel any pain and was more focused. ”
Bey also praised Mark, who once shared an intricate tattoo photo at Ins with the caption" that "Mark Mahoney has just published a great new work. I sat down and watched him work while listening to him tell the story for 5 hours, it was so nice... True artists. ”
The most iconic tattoo on Xiaobei's body is the "angel" on the shoulder, which is nailed to the cross with its wings outstretched, implying that she must be a strong backing for children.
This angelic cross extends from the top of Bob's shoulder blade to his upper back. The name of the second son, Romeo, is tattooed on the top of the cross, the name of the youngest son, Cruz, is tattooed in the center of the back, and the name of Brooklyn is tattooed on the lower back.
In July 2011, Bey and his wife Victoria welcomed their fourth child, Harper, who is currently their only daughter. To commemorate Harper's birth, the father tattooed his daughter's name under his neck.
In July 2015, Xiaobei tattooed harper's nickname "Pretty Lady" above the original Harper name to celebrate Harper's fourth birthday.
He once explained the pattern on social platforms, "Hey, pretty lady... Just added a touch to my tattoo collection. These tattoos are all very important to me. ”
There are also several tattoos to show love for his wife, Victoria, including tattooing her name on her right wrist, guarded by a "hummingbird" next to her.
The little finger of the same hand also bears the "99" of the year of their marriage, representing a very important year in his life, and this year they also welcomed their first son Brooklyn.
In 2014, Xiaobei tattooed the words "dream big, unrealistic" under Victoria's name. It is said that Victoria liked jay Z's words when she first heard it, so Xiaobei tattooed it on herself as an incentive.
His right arm also bears the Sanskrit name and the words "spiritual perfection" of his wife Victoria, as well as the Latin "Ut Amem Et Foveam," which translates to English as "love and cherish," and a Renaissance oil painting on his left arm depicting Cupid flying to heaven with his wife.
In addition, there are angels, auspicious clouds, stars, birds, plants and other patterns on the arms of Xiaobei, which are very rich. In fact, the father of four has quite a few cherub motifs on his body.
In 2011, he tattooed three cherubs on the top of his left chest; in March 2016, he tattooed two more cute little angels at his ankles; and an angel tattoo on his right shoulder with the famous phrase "Facing Adversity" written next to it.
It is worth noting that Xiao Bei's body is also tattooed with an ancient Chinese proverb, "Life and death have a fate and wealth in the sky." In 2013, during a visit to Peking University, he lifted his shirt to show everyone the Chinese.
This tattoo looks very long, stretching from under the armpit of the small shell to the waist, presumably this sentence has a profound meaning for him, so that he can collect it as a treasure.
Of course, this fan's love of tattoos will not end here, and perhaps one day at some important time in the future, he will add another stroke to his collection.
