David Beckham's Tattoos and Their Meaning
David Beckham's Tattoo Collection Is a Love Letter to His Family
2
Beckham has the number "723" tattooed on the back of his left hand between his thumb and index finger. It's a sentimental nod to Beckham's monumental football shirt numbers. The footballer wore the No. 7 shirt at both Manchester United and England, and No. 23 when playing for Real Madrid and LA Galaxy.
The word "Love" is etched in cursive handwriting across the back of his left hand, with two swallow birds in flight on either side.
The phrase "Lead with Love," seemingly a positive affirmation of kindness, can be seen on the back of his left hand.
On the index finger of his left hand, Beckham has the word "Seven" inked horizontally along the length of his finger, a sweet tribute to his youngest daughter with wife Victoria, Harper, whose middle name is Seven.
Beckham has a tiny rose illustration in black ink tattooed on the back of his left ring finger. He later added a cursive letter "V" beneath the rose design, a likely nod to his wife.
In November 2021, Beckham paid LA-based tattooist Dr. Woo a visit to get a single-needle spider inked on his middle finger, close to the knuckle.
