Victoria and David Beckham showcased a glamorous display while enjoying the sunshine in Miami over the weekend. The fashion designer, aged 51, posted a stylish snapshot to her Instagram Stories on Sunday, featuring herself alongside her husband, former footballer David, 50.
Sun-Kissed Selfie Sparks Fan Interest
In the reflective window selfie, Victoria turned heads in a sleek black swimsuit, while David appeared shirtless. She captioned the post with 'Happy Sunday. Kisses from Miami.' This casual yet chic moment followed revelations from their son Cruz about Victoria's tattoo removal.
Cruz Beckham Clarifies Tattoo Status
Cruz Beckham, 21, confirmed to intrigued fans during an Instagram Q&A session on Wednesday that his mother no longer has any tattoos. When asked, 'Does Victoria Beckham have any tattoos? I know that David has many,' Cruz replied succinctly, 'No not anymore x.'
Victoria previously had six tattoos, including meaningful tributes to her family and marriage. Notable inkings included:
- Her husband's initials, DB, and the phrase 'Together, forever, eternally' in Hebrew on her left wrist, marking their tenth wedding anniversary.
- The date VIII-V-MMVI (May 8, 2006) below it, commemorating when she and David renewed their vows.
- The Latin words 'De Integro', meaning 'again from the start', above the date.
- Five stars on her lower back, representing herself, David, and their three sons: Cruz, Romeo (23), and estranged Brooklyn (27). It remains unclear if a star was added for daughter Harper, born in 2011.
- A Hebrew poem down her back reading 'Ani l'dodi li va'ani lo haro'eh bashoshanim', translating to 'I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine', which David also has on his arm.
Victoria's Rebranding and Removal Process
Victoria's tattoo removal is not a recent development. In 2022, she addressed fan curiosity after they noticed her wrist tattoos were gone 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. I was just a bit sick of the tattoo. It's as simple as that.'
Tattoo removal typically involves laser treatments that break down ink into fragments absorbed by the bloodstream and excreted. Private clinics charge approximately £150 per session for small tattoos and up to £800 for larger ones, with eight to ten sessions often needed for extensive designs. The procedure can cause temporary discomfort, blistering, and redness, and rarely results in complete disappearance.
Contrasting Ink Preferences in the Beckham Family
While Victoria has opted for a clean slate, David Beckham still boasts numerous tattoos across his body. Their sons have also embraced body art, reflecting a generational shift. Statistics show nearly a fifth of Britons have at least one tattoo, highlighting the cultural relevance of Victoria's personal choice.
This update adds a new layer to Victoria Beckham's evolving public image, blending family insights with lifestyle trends in the celebrity sphere.
