The former soccer player, 49, revealed that he recently got a new graphic tattoo from one of his go-to-artists — London-based Certified Letter Boy — and shared shots of the new addition inked on the side of a leg below his knee.
On his Instagram Stories, he showed a snap of the tattoo artist inking an outline of two hands pressed together in a prayer position. He wrote under the picture, “Thanks mate x.”
In a follow-up photo, he showed a closeup of the new tattoo, which featured several details including knuckle and palm lines, nails and shadow detailing. He tagged the tattoo artist and wrote a white heart emoji underneath showing some appreciation for him.

The latest ink inches Beckham one step closer to 100 tattoos, as film director Fisher Stevens had previously shared in the Netflix docuseries Beckham that the British athlete had already been close to that number.
“At the time, I asked, ‘How many tattoos do you have?’ He said, ‘I have 88,’ ” Stevens recalled.
“I go, ‘Is there some form of self-torture?’ And he said, ‘No, I don’t think so.’ I thought so,” he added.
