Beckham's 40 tattoos and the special meaning behind each design (2)

Tattoo lover: It is safe to say that David Beckham love of body art will see him squeeze many more inkings into his already well-decorated physique 

He is thought to have caught the bug from Spice Girl Mel B’s then husband, Jimmy Gulzar, and ended up getting his son’s name in a classic Gothic script to commemorate Brooklyn’s arrival into the world.

In 2000, he was back at the tattoo studio and emerged with a large guardian angel in the middle of his upper back.

The sweet idea behind the design is that the angel is watching over Brooklyn’s name below.
