Romeo’s tattoo artist, London-based artist @certifiedletterboy on Instagram, showed off the ink on his grid, writing in the caption, “Mooch on @romeobeckham 🎉 Happy Birthday Mia hoped you liked that surprise.”

His ink for Regan is right in line with the Beckham boys’ family tradition of getting tattoos dedicated to the women in their lives. Patriarch David Beckham has a number of pieces dedicated to wife Victoria Beckham and older brother Brooklyn Peltz Beckham has several pieces dedicated to Nicola Peltz Beckham.

Romeo Beckham Posts Sweet Tribute for Girlfriend Mia Regan: ‘Crazy How Lucky I Am’

Romeo is catching up to David and Brooklyn in terms of tattoos — as the pair have nearly 200 combined — including several in tribute to their partners.

David, 48, has several tattoos for Victoria, including one of “99,” in reference to the year they got married and when son Brooklyn, 24, was born, the Latin phrase “Ut Amem Et Foveam” (which means “So That I Love and Cherish”) and Victoria’s name on his left arm.

In September, he confirmed to The Sun that he got some new ink in tribute to his wife of “Posh” on his middle finger, in reference to Victoria’s nickname as Posh Spice from her Spice Girls days.

Brooklyn, meanwhile, has more than 70 tattoos dedicated to Nicola.
