Romeo Beckham debuts huge new chest tattoo as he adds to his growing collection and follows in the steps of both David and Brooklyn

Romeo Beckham has added to his growing tattoo collection once again as he continues to follow in the footsteps of his father.

David Beckham, who debuted his first tattoo in 1999, has over 100 inkings and his eldest son Brooklyn has quickly followed suit.

With an eye-popping 200 hundred inkings between them, it seems Romeo is keen to compete with the pair as he debuted his latest body illustration.

Taking to his Instagram Story, the young footballer, 21, showcased the large work across the top of his chest which depicted an old fashioned painting.

The intricate artwork appeared to show a woman nurturing two babies, while another woman, a goose and a cow are also part of the image.

Romeo looks to be following in the footsteps of his dad David, 49, and elder brother Brooklyn, 25, who have an eye-popping 200 hundred inkings between them

It looks as though the tattoo had only just been completed as one half appeared rather red still, suggesting Romeo had the artwork done in two sittings.

While perhaps his biggest so far, it isn’t Romeo’s first inking.

He already boasts numerous tattoos, including the messages Freedom To Love, Free Spirit and a large dove on his wrist.

Most recently Romeo had a famous quote by novelist and humorist, Kurt Vonnegut tattooed across his hand.

It reads: ‘Enjoy the little things in life for one day you’ll look back and realise they were the big things’.

The quotation is written in elegant cursive font and is centered below a different tattoo of two delicate angles kissing.

Last year he got one of his most personal inkings yet as he visited the talented artist Pablo in Soho who replicated the same motivational quote worn by heavily inked dad David.

He also has the word Love on his fingers and a replica David’s famous winged cross on his neck.

Elsewhere he has a stone angel statue, which covers the length of his forearm alongside a ‘freedom to dream’ torso inking.

Meanwhile all three of the Beckhams son’s had the word ‘Brotherhood’ inked on different parts of their bodies.

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, 19, chose to have his on his hand.

As well as their matching ink, Romeo also got another tattoo during their trip to the parlour and took to Instagram to show off the result.

Following in his father’s footsteps with his script tattoos, the quote, from the late fashion designer Virgil Abloh, read: ‘Life is so short you can’t waste even a day subscribing to what someone thinks you can do versus knowing what you can do.’

Brooklyn has a whopping 100 tattoos – 70 of which are dedicated to his wife Nicola Peltz.

His tributes to the actress 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.

Meanwhile David’s tributes to her family are less obvious, after first going under the needle in 1999 following the birth of Brooklyn.

In 2015 the former footballer got the number ’99’ tattooed on his little finger to mark the year, in which he also married wife Victoria.

As well as a large rose and the words ‘I Love you’ on his neck rumoured to be in honour of his other half.

David pledged his devotion to his wife with a tattoo of her name in Hindi script however experts later pointed out the tribute, unfortunately, actually said ‘Vihctoria’.

He is thought to have caught the bug from Spice Girl Mel B’s then husband, Jimmy Gulzar, and ended up getting his son’s name in a classic Gothic script to commemorate Brooklyn’s arrival into the world.

David has the words Pretty Lady inked above his daughter’s name Harper, now 12, on his neck, and a doodle drawn by the youngster in honour of her 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.

Meanwhile on his chest a male joined by three cherubs depicting his sons who will care for him in his old age.
