Anyone familiar with David Beckham will know he’s no stranger to tattoos – and neither are the members of his brood.

Now, Brooklyn Beckham’s latest ink has got the internet talking. The oldest son of the Beckham clan took to Instagram to share a picture of the tattoo, which is based on a note that his wife Nicola Peltz wrote to him before their wedding in April 2022.

The tattoo reads: ‘My forever boy. Read this anytime you feel anxious. I want you to know how deeply loved you are. You have the kindest heart I’ve ever met and hope I never go a day without your love. I think you are so incredible. Just know we can get through it all together if you breathe slow and trust. I love you beyond. Love always, your future wifey.’

 This tattoo is one of many that Brooklyn has dedicated to Nicola. In fact, Brooklyn is thought to have around 100 tattoos, with around 70 of them dedicated to Nicola and her family. In an interview with USA today, Brooklyn spoke about Nicola’s reaction to his tattoos. ‘She always cries when I get her another tattoo,’ he told the outlet in 2022. ‘I always love to surprise her with new ink.’

The tattoo comes amid feud rumours in the Beckham family, which have been rumbling for two months now. The speculation surfaced when people clocked Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola were absent from recent family events, including David’s 50th birthday party. 

However, a source denied reports that Brooklyn had asked for no contact with his family. ‘Everyone’s focus should be David Beckham’s great honor,’ the source told Page Six, referring to the news that David Beckham will accept his knighthood in King Charles’ birthday honours this Friday.

Brooklyn has used his tattoos to show his commitment to his marriage in the past. Among his numerous other inkings is the word ‘married’ on the side of his left hand. “I kind of was just like, “Oh, we’re married, why not?”’ he told USA Today. ‘It wasn’t a thing I thought about for months. I got married five months ago, why not?’ Brooklyn also has his wedding vows inked on the underside of his upper-right arm.

‘Nicola when you walked down the aisle you took my breath away you look so beautiful tonight and always,’ it reads. ‘Let me start by saying that words cannot even describe my love for you just looking at you I see my future and it feels like a dream. You are my world and I continue to fall more in love with you every single day.’

Alongside the words, Brooklyn has an actual portrait of Nicola on his left arm. He showcased the new tattoo in March 2023. In an interview on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Brooklyn explained that underneath the design were the lyrics from the song Nicola walked down the aisle to.

But it’s not just Nicola that Brooklyn’s inking’s pay homage to. Brooklyn also has the name ‘Buster’ inked on him, which is his father’s nickname for him, as well as an anchor to honour David, and his mother-in-law Claudia’s rosary beads.

Back in 2021, Nicola also revealed she had a tattoo dedicated to Brooklyn. Sharing a picture on Instagram, Brooklyn revealed she had his name written in cursive on her upper back, which Nicola reposted on her own page.

Brooklyn has both his and Nicola’s surnames inked on his stomach, after taking her name when they married. He previously opened up about this, saying ‘’It was my idea because I wanted to honour her family’s last name as well, and you know I thought when we have kids, I think it’ll be so cute to have little Peltz-Beckham’s running about.’

In fact, Brooklyn has made no secret of his desire to follow his parent’s footsteps and become a young father. In an interview with InStyle last year, he said ‘I always wanted to be a young dad, but, obviously, [it’s] up to my wife,’ adding ‘My wife really wants kids as well. So soon, hopefully.’

This echoes an interview Brooklyn gave in 2022, when he told Entertainment Tonight, he has ‘always wanted young dad.’ When asked how many children he’d like, Brooklyn said he ‘could have, like, 10’ but stressed that he wanted to leave final decisions about growing his and Nicola’s family up to her.

It appears Nicola is on the same page as her husband. Nicola appears to be on the same page as her husband. During an interview with Cosmopolitan in March last year, she said ‘Yeah, we definitely want kids. We need a house first, especially because we have so many puppies,’ adding ‘Brooklyn really wants kids now, but I want to do a few more things in my career first.’

Whenever they arrive, it’s almost certain that Brooklyn will dedicate a handful of tattoos to the new members of the Peltz-Beckham clan.
