He just got the number '99' added to his extensive tattoo collection to mark one of the happiest years of his life.
And it is safe to say that David Beckham's love of body art will see him squeeze many more inkings into his already intricately decorated physique.
Now as the 40-year-old sporting superstar has as many designs as years on the clock, MailOnline takes a look at how his love of body art has grown over the past few decades - and what each tattoo means to him…
Most recently, David got the number '99' tattooed on his little finger to mark the year he got married to wife Victoria.
Debuting it on Instagram, the retired footballer wrote, '99 was a good year for me.'
Weeks before that, he had the words Pretty Lady inked above his daughter's name Harper on his neck, in honour of his Harper's fourth birthday.
David first went under the needle in 1999 after the birth of his oldest son, Brooklyn.
