===Tattoos=== {{as of|2021}}, Beckham has more than 65 [[tattoo]]s covering a large part of his body, including tattoos on his hands, neck and head.<ref>{{cite web |title=A Guide to David Beckham's 60 Plus Tattoos |url=https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a36339426/david-beckham-tattoos/ |work=menshealth.com |date=6 May 2021 |access-date=30 May 2021 |archive-date=2 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210602214641/https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a36339426/david-beckham-tattoos/ |url-status=live }}</ref> There are names of his sons Romeo, Cruz and Brooklyn, and of his wife Victoria. His wife's name, tattooed on his left forearm, is in the [[Devanagari]] script (used for the Hindi and Sanskrit languages, among others) because Beckham thought it would be "tacky" to have it in English. However, this was misspelt as the equivalent of "Vhictoria".<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/1044797.stm |title=Beckham's tattoo misspelt |work=BBC News |date=28 November 2000 |access-date=27 October 2013 |archive-date=15 August 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170815033644/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/1044797.stm |url-status=live }}</ref> In his autobiography ''David Beckham: My Side'', he said that the idea of having tattoos came to him in 1999 after his son Brooklyn was born, following a conversation on the subject of tattoos with [[Mel B]] and her then-husband, Jimmy Gulzar. Beckham said: "When you see me, you see the tattoos. You see an expression of how I feel about Victoria and the boys. They're part of me."<ref>Beckham, David (2010). "David Beckham: My Side".
