Victoria Beckham first rose to fame as a member of the Spice Girls musical group. However, in the years since she was “Posh Spice,” Beckham has grown even more prominent in the spotlight. Her marriage to star soccer player David Beckham makes her one of the most well-known celebrity wives. Plus, her commitment to style has earned her worldwide acclaim. In addition to always sporting the latest fashions and hairstyles, Beckham has also been admired for her unique body art designs.

Perhaps Victoria Beckham’s most well known tattoo is the one located along the back of her neck. It features a string of Hebrew letters written down her spine. Although relatively few people can read these letters, they are actually an excerpt from the spiritual text “The Song of Solomon.” The piece Beckham selected for her tattoo can be translated as “I am my love’s and my love is mine.” The tattoo was designed in 2007 to commemorate Beckham’s sixth anniversary with her husband. In fact, David Beckham had the same line of Hebrew printed on his forearm to match.

Another of her tattoos features five stars on the base of her spine, just above her tailbone. Rather than traditional five-pointed shapes, the stars in this artwork are actually eight-pointed bursts. These symbols have deeper meaning to Beckham, who explained that each star represented a member of her family. There were two for her husband and herself, and another three for their children, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz.

Beckham also has tattoos on both of her wrists. On her left are the script initials “DB,” which recognize her love and affection for her husband David Beckham. Opposite this tattoo are a line of roman numerals printed on the star’s right wrist. The numbers symbolize the date May 8, 1997. This is allegedly the anniversary of the first time she and David made love. The latest addition to Beckham’s tattoo collection came in early 2008, when she had another set of script added below her roman numerals. However, no one has been able to definitively identify the new artwork and Beckham has not explained it publicly.

All in all, Beckham’s tattoos clearly show her love and devotion to her husband and family. The meaning behind each of her body artwork selections honors their place in her heart, and it is commendable to see a star so committed to her marriage and her children.  startattoos
