David Beckham Subtly Criticizes Victoria for Removing Marriage Tattoo Tributes

David Beckham posed shirtless in Miami and showed off his collection of tattoos in a recent Instagram selfie. The 50-year-old shared the image after celebrating the opening of Inter Miami’s Nu stadium.

Poolside post and public reaction

Beckham stood in a swimming pool and leaned against the edge as sunlight hit his chest and arms. He captioned the photo “Good afternoon” with a sun emoji while wearing a baseball cap.

Fans flooded the comments with praise. His wife, Victoria Beckham, 51, replied playfully: “Someone has been in the gym!!!” with fire and red heart emojis.

Cruz Beckham’s revelation

The post arrived days after their youngest son, Cruz, 21, revealed a change regarding his mother. During an Instagram Q&A, Cruz answered that Victoria no longer has any tattoos.

When asked if Victoria still had ink, he replied: “No, not anymore x.” The disclosure referred to six tattoos she had previously worn.

Details of the removed tattoos

One of Victoria’s most recognised tattoos was the numerals “VIII-V-MMVI” on her wrist. That date represents May 8, 2006, the day they renewed their wedding vows.

Above those numerals she had the Latin phrase “De Integro,” meaning “again from the start.” She also had his initials on the opposite wrist and a Hebrew inscription translating to “Together, forever, eternally.”

Public interpretation and context

Some fans read the exchange as a subtle criticism after Victoria removed her marriage tattoo tributes. Others focused on the couple’s continued public banter and mutual praise online.

David still retains his matching wrist tattoo. The pair have been married for more than 25 years and share four children.
