Cruz Beckham has some new ink, seemingly in tribute to his mother, Victoria Beckham.

The youngest son of David and Victoria Beckham, who turned 18 in February of this year, got a special gift for himself to commemorate his mom — in the form of a special tattoo with her Spice Girls moniker.

London-based celebrity tattoo artist Pablo, who goes by Certified Letter Boy on social media, showed off the new tattoo on Cruz’s right arm in a series of black-and-white photos on Instagram. The first photo shows the tattoo that reads, “Posh,” an apparent nod to his mom’s nickname “Posh Spice,” in cursive letters right below his elbow.

A second photo shows Cruz making eye contact with the camera as he gets his arm tattooed, and a black-and-white video shows the whole process, zooming in on Cruz’s arm as the letters are being inked.

“Posh @cruzbeckham 💫,” the tattoo artist captioned the Instagram carousel. “I think we all get the vibe here don’t we? 💥Thank you for the trust my g 🙏”

Cruz’s brother Romeo Beckham, 21, has been a long-time client of Certified Letter Boy and even got two tattoos from the popular tattoo artist, including one that read “freedom to dream” on his torso and “free spirit” on his hand.

This comes six months after proud parents Victoria, 49, and David, 48, celebrated Cruz’s birthday by sharing a slideshow of photos of him throughout the years, set to Beyoncé’s “Love on Top.”
