He’s known for his love of body art and intricately decorated physique.
And David Beckham got yet another tattoo on Wednesday after stopping by family tattoo artist Pablo, also known as Certified Letter Boy, in London.
The former England football star, 49, was seen posing with the London-based fine line tattoo artist, who has previously inked his sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.
In an Instagram post, David showed off his new artwork which was a detailed pair of hands clapped together praying.
The tattoo artist penned: ‘New tattoo for @davidbeckham. Thank you for the trust, DB’.

David got the number ’99’ tattooed on his little finger to mark the year he got married to wife Victoria, 1999 was also the year in which his eldest son Brooklyn was born.
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.
If that weren’t enough the doting dad debuted the word ‘Dada’ and Harper’s middle name seven on his finger in 2017.
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.
In the same year, David pledged his devotion to wife Victoria with a tattoo of her name in Hindi script. Experts later pointed out the tribute, unfortunately, actually said ‘Vihctoria’.
After the birth of their second son Romeo in 2002, David added his name above the guardian angel – which had been tweaked and given impressive wings.

Shortly after his Romeo addition, David chose to get the number 7 tattooed on to his inner arm in Roman numerals.
As football fans will know, the number is special to the former midfielder as it’s the number on his shirt for Manchester United and England.
In 2003, he got a Latin inking on left inner arm reading ‘So that I love and cherish’ and ‘Spiritual perfection’ onto his right.
Later in that year, he celebrated his move to Real Madrid by flying over his tattooist Louis Malloy to create the cross design on his back.
In more recent years, he has moved away from his crowded arms to create works on his torso, including a religious scene depicting Jesus being carried by three cherubs, believed to represent him and his three sons.
He also has a scene of a woman in a forest over the right-hand side of his chest and in 2010, added an image of Jesus below his ribcage.
The image is based on a painting called The Man Of Sorrows by Catholic artist Matthew R. Brooks and is believed to be another tribute to his grandfather Joe, who passed away aged 83 the year before.
Speaking about how he chooses his designs, the iconic star has explained: ‘They’re about the important people in my life, who I want to have with me always.’
Last year, the footballer’s sons marked the strong bond they share as they got matching tattoos by Certified Letter Boy.
Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz, each had the word ‘Brotherhood’ inked on different parts of their body.
The eldest of the three, Brooklyn, opted to have his new tattoo on his leg above his dancing lady body art, while Romeo also had his on his leg above his eagle inking, while Cruz chose to have his on his hand.

In an Instagram post, the boys could be standing with their arms draped on each other’s shoulders, while some photos displayed the new tattoos.
Cruz happily posed for a picture as Pablo went to work, with the teen jokingly wincing in pain as the needle met his hand.
The Beckhams are no strangers to tattoos with Brooklyn and his retired footballer father David having an eye-popping 200 inkings between them.
Wannabe chef Brooklyn, who was no doubt inspired by his famous parent, showed off his vast collection during a sun-soaked trip in Saint Tropez with wife Nicola Peltz earlier this summer.
Since going under the needle first in 2017, self professed tattoo addict Brooklyn has over amassed 70 tributes to his heiress wife.
Meanwhile David, who debuted his first tattoo in 1999, has also paid tribute to mother of his children Victoria, 49, with his own intricately decorated physique.
Brooklyn’s tributes to Nicola are extensive, with her portrait on his upper arm and her eyes tattooed on the back of his neck as well as her name.
Far from just using her image, Brooklyn also has their wedding vows tattooed on his arm, with the romantic prose reading: ‘Nicola when you walked down the aisle you took my breath away you look so beautiful tonight and always.
‘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.’
The celebrity offspring pays tribute to his family in numerous inkings as well as his billionaire in-laws.
As well as cherubs for his siblings Romeo, Cruz and Harper, he also sports a heart tribute to his fashion designer mother.
Brooklyn also sports the name ‘Buster’, his father’s nickname for him, as well as an anchor to honour England legend David.
He has also found room on his physique for his mother-in-law Claudia’s rosary beads.
Brooklyn has both his and his wife’s surnames scrawled on his stomach, after taking her name when they married.
Speaking about the choice, he said: ‘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.’
Brooklyn had Gina’s prayer inked on his torso, with the words reading: ‘Focused in the present, sincere towards others and trusting in our self, know that you cannot fail.’
He also has DVBRCH inked above Gina’s prayer. The initials are those of his family – David, Victoria, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.

Brooklyn was living it up on the boat with his in-laws, where he launched himself into the water before indulging in a spot of water sports.
Speaking about his tattoos, the aspiring photographer and chef said: ‘They’re very addictive, especially when you love someone you just want to cover everywhere. I love her more than anything. I always try to make her happy. That’s all I do.’
Romeo boasts a variety of tattoos, including a ‘free spirit’ and a large dove on his wrist along with the words: ‘Lead with love.’
There is also a stone angel statue, which covers the length of his forearm alongside a ‘freedom to dream’ torso inking.
He also has the word ‘love’ on his fingers, with a letter on each finger and a replica David’s famous winged cross on his neck.
Earlier this year, Cruz showed off his latest tattoo after getting an inking of a record player on his arm.
He took to his Instagram Stories to share a picture of his body art after he went under the needle.
In the photograph, Cruz could be seen showing off the design on his bicep, which featured a needle on a record with the lid of the sound system open.
It came after the youngest son of David and Victoria shared a glimpse of himself at the tattoo parlour.
In a picture shared on his Instagram page, Cruz could be seen laying back as he wore a quirky pair of purple sunglasses while glancing over towards the camera.
The tattoo artist could be seen deep in concentration as he got to work on Cruz’s arm.
