Romeo Beckham embraces dad David’s love of tattoos as he reveals a large eagle design

Romeo Beckham, 18, embraces dad David’s love of tattoos as he reveals a large eagle design on his calf while training with Inter Miami

Romeo Beckham suggested he is following his father’s keen interest in body art after revealing a large tattoo on his calf. 

The 18-year old revealed the inking – thought to be his second – while training with dad David and the Inter Miami academy players in Florida on Friday. 

Appearing to depict a large eagle in flight, the black ink design is not dissimilar to the lifelike work carried out at his father’s tattoo studio of choice – Hollywood’s Shamrock Social Club.

It is also strikingly like the eagle tattoo beneath David’s left armpit, albeit on a notably smaller scale.   

However it is not Romeo’s first time under the needle, with the teenager previously revealing a small tattoo on his rib-cage while holidaying with his family in Greece last August. 

Romeo is not the only Beckham child to develop a liking for body art, with older brother Brooklyn, 21, quickly developing a large collection of tattoos following his 18th birthday in 2017.

Following suit: Romeo has followed his father and older brother Brooklyn by getting the tattoo – but it is not his first 

David, 45, is understood to have more than 60 designs inked across his body, with many dedicated to his fashion designer wife Victoria, their four children and his illustrious playing career. 

As well as his children’s names, the former footballer’s tattoo collection also includes a drawing from nine-year old daughter Harper on the palm of his hand and the number 99 – a reference to Manchester United’s treble winning season – on his little finger. 

Other inkings include a religious scene depicting Jesus being carried by three cherubs, believed to represent him and his three sons, a scene of a woman in a forest over the right-hand side of his chest and in 2010, added an image of Jesus below his ribcage. 

He first went under the needle in 1999 after the birth of his oldest son, Brooklyn.

Speaking about how he chooses his designs, the star previously explained: ‘They’re about the important people in my life, who I want to have with me always.’ 

Stepping out for a training session with Inter Miami co-owner David, Romeo also appeared to have picked up his dad’s precision passing ability as he joined in with the team’s academy players. 

The family are currently in Florida ahead of the new MLS season, which has yet to be given a formal launch date as the United States continues to grapple with the impact of COVID-19.
