“生日快乐！维多利亚·贝克汉姆！” 小贝在为性感娇妻庆祝生日之际，也首次公开展露了自己右臂上新刺的“恐怖”纹身。新刺青长约2英尺，内容整体以浮云组成，其中，“圣殿骑士”图案和刺字“让他们在怕我的时候恨我吧”被认为具有丰富的象征涵义。这些刺青表达了小贝对离开故土、转会美国的痛苦之情，更证实了媒体有关“转会是辣妹的决定”这一猜测。此外，这次的刺青是贝克汉姆违背辣妹之意、坚持去做的。在辣妹看来，这样的图腾不是移居美国的好兆头。

He asked the tattoo artist to etch the Knight Templar on his arm as he "feels the knights were the best equipped, trained, and disciplined fighting units of the Crusades, just as he has always tried to be as a footballer representing his team of knights".

The main tattoo on the forearm is a giant angel sentinel, holding a flame in her hand so that her face is illuminated from below. The wings spread round Beckham's arm and merge with the existing tattoos.

The second tattoo across his arm is a quote by the Roman Emperor Tiberius and also used by Caligula.

It reads: "Lets them hate (me) as long as they fear (me)."

It is written in English though Beckham originally wanted it written in Latin.

The reason he was advised not to do it in Latin is because the middle word would have been 'dum', which he is understood to have been adamant he did not want on his arm for fear of cruel jibes about his own intellect. The new tattoo's detail is difficult to make out, since it is merged with tattoos which were already there.

The end result is a rather unpretty mess.

Already on the arm are the words 'Perfectio In Spiritu' which means 'spiritual perfection', and the roman numerals VII - which relates to Beckham's No7 shirt.

Beckham's left arm carries wife Victoria's name in Hindi plus the words Ut Amem et Foveam (So that I love and cherish). On his back he has a huge angel in the shapoe of a cross and his three sons' names Romeo, Brooklyn and Cruz.
