David Beckhamis getting candid about his ink. Although, he isn’t exactly sure how much he has.
The Netflix docuseries,Beckham,delved into several parts of the former soccer player’s life — with the exception of his love for tattoos, which the film’s directorFisher Stevensaddressed in a cut scene.
“Well you guys can kind of see his tattoos. We did have a moment about tattoos that unfortunately we couldn’t fit in,” Stevens recalled. “At the time, I said, ‘How many tattoos do you have?’ He said, ‘I have 88.’”
He continued. “I said, ‘You know exactly?’ He said, ‘I think I have 88.’ ”

However, over the course of shooting the docuseries, Stevens said they discovered that Beckham had at least “six more” tattoos that he hadn’t included in his initial number.
“And I said, ‘Why David?,’ “ the director recalled asking about the reason behind the ink. “And he said, ‘I just like them.’ I go, ‘Is there some form of self-torture?’ And he said, ‘No, I don’t think so.’ I thought so.”
Just last month, Backham revealed he got theword “Posh” written in cursiveinked in on the lower part of his middle finger, right next to the finger on which he wears a gold wedding band in honor of his wife,Victoria Beckham.
“I’ve just had ‘Posh’ done … any of the tattoos I’ve got are of the family,” he toldThe Sun.
David, 48, also has a “Victoria” tattoo on his arm as a tribute to his wife, plus the names of the four children he and the fashion designer share:Brooklyn, 24,Romeo, 21,Cruz, 18 andHarper, 12.

His love for tattoos doesn’t fall far from the tree, as each of his sons have also gotten their own. In February, his 18-year-old son also got “Posh” tattooed from London-based artistCertified Letter Boy. Romeo also has two tattoos from the popular tattoo artist, including one that reads, “freedom to dream,” on his torso and another, “free spirit,” on his hand.
Brooklyn’s tattoos for Nicola includethe word “married,“andhis wedding vowson his body. The vows read, in part, “Nicola when you walked down the aisle you took my breath away you look so beautiful tonight and always.” He also tattooed Nicola’s late grandmother’s name, “Gina,” on his arm in 2021 in honor of his wife’s 26th birthday.
