David Beckham Flaunts Abs and Tattoos in Miami

Shirtless showed off his tattoos as he posed for a photo on Friday after his wife Victoria removed all her inkings. 

The former footballer, 50, who boasts hundreds of inkings, showed off his ripped abs as he enjoyed the sun in Miami. 

Taking a dip in the pool, he shielded his face with a baseball cap and captioned the Instagram update: 'Good afternoon.'

His wife Victoria showed her approval as she commented: 'Someone has been in the gym!!!' 

While David sports his children's names on his back as well as a '99' on his little finger to mark the year of Brooklyn's birth and his marriage to Victoria, his wife has removed all of her's. 

Cruz has revealed his mum has had all of her tattoos removed - including her tributes to her husband.

The former Spice Girl-turned fashion designer, 51, previously had six inkings across her body, including a Hebrew poem on her back. 

However, her youngest son Cruz, 21, has confirmed to intrigued fans that she has had each one removed.

Hosting a question and answers session with his Instagram followers on Wednesday, one fan asked: 'Does have any tattoos? I know that David has many.'

Cruz replied: 'No not anymore x.' 

Victoria previously had her husband's initials, DB, and the words 'Together, forever, eternally' written in Hebrew on her left wrist – chosen to mark their tenth wedding anniversary. 

She also had the numerals VIII-V-MMVI below it, which translated to May 8, 2006, the day she and David, 50, renewed their wedding vows.

Directly above, she had the words 'De Integro', which mean 'again from the start'. 

On her lower back, Victoria had five stars .

It is not known if Posh Spice had another star added to symbolise Harper, following her birth in 2011.  

Above it, and going down her back was a Hebrew poem which read: 'Ani l'dodi li va'ani lo haro'eh bashoshanim'.

The large inking, which she once proudly , translates to 'I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine.'

Victoria's rebranding is not recent, and in 2022 she spoke out about her tattoos disappearing after eagle-eyed fans noticed.

She had left them 'fascinated' after they first noticed she'd had her wrist inkings removed in a beauty video.  

Speaking on The Today Show, she explained: 'I had these tattoos a long long time ago and they just weren’t particularly delicate.

'Mine were just a little bit thick and they were bleeding a little bit and they just weren’t as pretty. They just didn’t look so nice. It doesn’t mean anything more than that.

She concluded: 'I was just a bit sick of the tattoo. It’s as simple as that.' 

Typically, laser tattoo removal uses beams of coloured light to break down the ink into minuscule fragments, which can then be absorbed into the bloodstream and excreted via the liver and digestive system. Private clinics charge around £150 per session for a small tattoo and up to £800 for a larger one.

Eight to 10 sessions are typically needed for large tattoos.

The procedure can cause temporary discomfort, blistering and redness, and the tattoo almost never completely disappears. Figures show almost a fifth of Britons have at least one tattoo.

While Victoria has removed her tattoos, her husband still boasts dozens across his body, with her sons also carrying their own inkings now.
