Love you tattoo much: David Beckham gave a tantalising glimpse of his new tattoo dedicated to new daughter Harper Seven in an interview for his club LA Galaxy this week


He's famously already got body art dedicated to his wife Victoria and sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz - so it was only a matter of time before David Beckham got a new inscription to mark the birth of daughter Harper Seven.

The couple’s first baby girl was born earlier this month and proud father David gave a teasing glimpse of the new inking on his neck this week during a television interview for his club LA Galaxy.

The new design appears to be of curled lettering, suggesting he has had Harper Seven's name inscribed in a fancy font.

The inking sits just above his tattoo of Jesus being carried by three cherubs, which are meant to symbolise sons Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight and Cruz, six.

Beckham said at the time: ‘It’s Jesus being carried by three cherubs and obviously the cherubs are my boys and so my thought of it is that at some point my boys are going to need to look after me and that’s what they’re doing in the picture. It means a lot.’

The 36-year-old LA Galaxy star is known for his array of tattoos, many of which are dedicated to his family.

As well as the cherubs David already has the names of his three boys and an inscription of Victoria’s name written in Hindi.

He also a six-inch tattoo of Victoria as an angel, accompanied with the words ‘til death do us part.’

David has previously said his tattoos are a way of expressing how he’s feeling, explaining: ‘Most of my tattoos are memories and things that mean things to me.

‘There's not one tattoo that I've got on me that doesn't mean something.’

The last time David went under the needle was in February, when he had the Jesus and the three cherubs drawn into his skin.

David also posted a video on Facebook explaining why he had the tattoo and what it represented.

That tattoo was the handy work of one of LA’s biggest tattoo artists, Mark Mahoney, who has worked on a long list of famous names who include Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and it's likely that the Harper Seven inking was courtesy of his hand too.

David is just another in a long line of celebrities who have only good words to say about Mark. He added: ‘He’s not a tattooist who goes on and does TV programmes. He’s low key and stays out of things and is very talented. ‘

Mahoney works in West Hollywood at the Shamrock Social Club on The Sunset Strip and says he prides himself on making his customer’s experiences as memorable as possible.

‘It’s called the Shamrock Social Club, not the Shamrock anti-social Club. People come here to relax and have a good time. People always remember the night they got tattooed. That’s one of the things you always remember in life, so I wanted to make that as memorable and as nice an experience as it ever could be.’

David first posted a picture of Mahoney working on his new tattoo back in December of last year. He Tweeted: ‘I want to let you all in on something. Just had a new tattoo done by the legendary Mark Mahoney.’

He added: ‘I had it done 3 months ago, before I left LA. I don’t plan on having a tattoo, but just sometimes I wake up with an idea or an image of what I would like on me.

‘It’s my way of expressing the way I’m feeling. Most of my tattoos are memories or things that mean a lot to me.

‘It was an 8-hour session which lasted until about 3 o’clock in the morning. I then went back a few weeks later and we did another 4 hours. It’s really is amazing.’

Masterpiece: The tattoo took 12 hours in total


David has also revealed that his new baby daughter is already a stylista in the making.

The Beckhams’ first little girl already has a growing collection of fashionable garments, according to her proud father.

Mother Victoria, 37, has her own fashion range that has proved a big hit with celebrities, and yesterday her footballer father David revealed that baby Harper’s wardrobe was already packed.

Speaking about the two-week old baby girl, the former England captain, 36, said: ‘Everything Victoria’s put on her so far looks amazing, she's got a great wardrobe already.

‘My wife is going to definitely take care of that.’

And even though Victoria had to have a fourth caesarean, Beckham said the couple were still keen for ‘one more’ baby.

Speaking in a post-match interview, the LA Galaxy footballer said the couple would like to complete a five-a-side 'Team Beckham'.

He said: ‘Are we done now or will we see any more in the future? We'd like one more.

‘We've always said we'd love a big family and five was the number. If we're lucky enough, then we hope to have one more.

He added: 'Victoria's doing amazingly well. So we'll see.'

When asked how Harper Seven's older brothers were liking the family's newest addition, Beckham replied: ‘All the boys won't leave her alone, which is amazing.’

Despite currently working away from home, Beckham said he has been Skyping with Harper, adding: ‘I can't wait to get home to see her and my boys and my wife.

‘It's different having a little girl. She's elegant. She sleeps in an elegant position.’

As for her genes, it appears Harper takes after mum Victoria.

'She's a mixture of all three of the boys actually. She's got Victoria's nose thankfully,' Beckham said.

Like father, like son: Justin Bieber and dad's matching Hebrew tattoos

By Daily Mail Reporter


Matching: Justin Bieber and his father Jeremy both had tattoos inked on their torsos earlier this year in Israel as this newly released photo shows


Justin Bieber and his father pose topless, showing off their matching tattoos.

A newly-released photo shows the father and son in Israel earlier this year where they had the etching done together.

The pair had the word 'Yeshua,' which means Joshua in Hebrew, etched onto the left side of their torsos.


Bieber first showed off the etching when he went on a Hawaii break with girlfriend Selena Gomez in May.

It came as Justin's second tat, with the teen seemingly sharing his father's love of the ink.

The Baby singer also has an etching of seagull on his left hip, which he had done to celebrate turning 16.

More ink: The singer has two tattoos - the Hebrew inking and a seagull, which he had done when he turned 16


Justin's Christian faith is important to him, with the star saying prayers in English and Hebrew before going on stage to perform.

The singer was raised primarily by his mother Pattie Mallette, but he has remained close to his father over the years.

'I have a great relationship with my dad,' he told Seventeen last year.

'When I was younger, he taught me how to play some songs on the guitar, like 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door' by Bob Dylan.'

'He taught me how to drive, too," Justin added. 'He's cool.'

Fern Britton gets her first tattoos at 53 as she enjoys 'a disgraceful middle age'

By Liz Thomas


Growing old disgracefully: Fern Britton has had her first tattoos done - after being inspired by Felicity Kendal


For many of us, a tattoo is something associated with the folly of youth.

But Fern Britton is 'enjoying a disgraceful middle age' and has just got her first at 53.

The TV presenter confessed she has two butterflies permanently inked on the base of her tummy.


She revealed she was inspired after reading that 64-year-old Felicity Kendal had a tattoo of a star on her foot and was planning more.

'At Christmas I got a tattoo of two butterflies on my tummy. It is Felicity Kendal's fault. I read about hers and thought, “Why not?”,' she said.


'Some of my friends have them and I'd been talking about getting one for ages.

'Then [my daughter] Winnie found some stick-on tattoos and applied one to my tummy. [My husband] Phil agreed that it looked good, so in my head that was a green light.'

Iffy: Fern Britton and husband Phil Vickery, who she says has yet to get used to her new body art


Miss Britton admitted husband Phil Vickery was still 'iffy' about it, but her children – she has 17-year-old twin sons and a 14-year-old daughter from her first marriage, and ten-year-old daughter Winnie from her second – thought it looked 'cool'.

The star said it was a painful process but she was happy she had done it – and was increasingly doing more things that she wanted.

She also revealed she had IVF to get pregnant with her twins and during the process donated some of her own eggs.

'Of course I think about what happened to those. I will never know until maybe that person is 18 and comes to find me,' Miss Britton told the current issue of Woman and Home magazine.

'It's a funny feeling all these years later.

'At the time, you're so grateful you're pregnant that you want to give someone else the chance.

'Would I feel that child was mine? I've no idea. I certainly would want to be a friend to that person and their family, though.'

The veteran broadcaster has said that turning 50 was the catalyst for taking charge of her life.

She added: 'At this chapter of my life, I have the pleasure of being “self-ist”, as a friend of mine calls it.

'[I am] self-ist enough to do what I need without feeling guilty.

'I'm enjoying a disgraceful middle age, though without Phil I would not be as I am today.'

She doesn't do things by halves! Katie Waissel gets a new tattoo... and ends up covering her whole arm in inkings

By Sarah Bull


New designs: Katie Waissel posted a picture of her new tattoos on her Twitter page


She's never been one to do anything by halves.

And former X Factor star Katie Waissel proved that today when she posted a picture of her new tattoo on Twitter.

However, instead of getting a small and simple design, Katie went all out, covering virtually her entire forearm in inkings.


Katie had been putting the picture on Twitter to show off her claw-like black nails, but ended up drawing attention to her new etchings instead.

As well as the phrase 'I will prevail', perhaps to encourage her in her musical pursuits following the underwhelming response to her record The Ugly Truth, Katie opted for a bunch of purple flowers to be drawn on her right arm.

In addition, Katie had a peace symbol and the number 24 tattooed on her forearm.

Ouch! Katie tried to hide her arm, which was covered in white cream, as she attended a launch earlier this week


But she didn't stop there, as she showed when she attended the launch of Sunglass Hut's new Covent Garden store earlier this week.

Wearing a cut-off printed T-shirt, Katie attempted to hide her left arm, which appeared to be painfully red and covered in white cream, behind her back.

However, she wasn't able to conceal her arm completely, and it could be seen that the design travelled all the way up her arm to just underneath her armpit.

Before getting her new tattoo, Katie tweeted fans: 'Tattoo day!! To express oneself through the work of another mans art, can't wait!!'

She later added: 'Down a back alley in soho about to be Daryl's canvass (sic) ;)'

Before: Katie had no tattoos on her left arm as she appeared on X Factor with mentor Cheryl Cole and fellow singer Treyc Cohen


Katie is no stranger to going under the tattooist's needle, as she already has the phrase Nothing Is Impossible written on her right wrist and a bird design on her left foot.

Meanwhile, Katie, who appeared on last year's X Factor show, has spoken out about her former mentor Cheryl Cole's departure from the show.

Asked if she thinks the panel will survive without Cheryl, Katie said: 'Yes, it's going to be fine. Simon Cowell is a very smart man and he knows what he is doing and I think that the change would be a good thing.

'Gary Barlow is such a talented singer-songwriter who has been in the industry for such a long time.

'It is great to finally have someone on that panel, he could say, "there's a diamond in the rough" and I think that this is going to be really interesting. I think that this is what the show needs.'

Leggy Katie Price hits the town with Leandro... but all eyes are on her tattoo

By Daily Mail Reporter


Eye-catching: Katie Price arrives at the Cuckoo Club in London with Leandro Penna in some sheer leggings


She has been out of sight of the cameras for almost a week now - an eternity in Katie Price's world.

So when the model reappeared for a night on the town in London she did it in typically eye-catching style.

Katie wore a pair of bizarre sheer criss-cross leggings for her night with boyfriend Leandro Penna - but even her outlandish outfit couldn't distract from her very noticeable new body art.

Chivalrous: Leandro helped his girlfriend out of the cab as they arrived at the Cuckoo Club in London


Katie, who turned 33 last week, has finally revealed her new tattoo - a large rose, which covers up what used to be a tribute to her ex-husband Peter Andre.

All eyes were on the new etching, which Katie has resolutely kept hidden since getting the inking reworked during her holiday in Argentina earlier this month.

Katie wore a short black dress over the tights, and peep toe booties, with her hair in full, Barbie-style blonde waves.

What's that on your arm? Despite her bizarre leggings, all eyes were on Katie's new body art

Leandro looked smart in a suit and bright red tie as they arrived at the Cuckoo Club in London's West End.

Perhaps she was waiting until the rose tattoo was fully healed before unveiling it.
Katie has kept the new tattoo hidden beneath bandages and long sleeved jumpers since her return from Argentina.

Despite splitting from Peter Andre two years ago, it took Price until recently to finally rid herself of her ex-husband's name completely.

Just a month after their split in 2009, she had a crude cross etched over his name during her infamous post break-up holiday in Ibiza.

Then Katie was pictured getting a new inking during her trip to Argentina earlier this month.

At the time Mail Online speculated that Price might finally be getting the tribute to her ex covered up.

While Katie left Peter's name clearly visible beneath the crude cross for almost two years throughout her marriage to Alex Reid, it appears her new love, Leandro Penna, has inspired her to finally move on.

The 25-year-old Argentine model was by her side this month when she had the old tattoo - 'Pete' surrounded with hearts - covered for good.

Leandro introduced Katie to tattooist Mariano Antonio at the American Tattoo parlour, after he created Leandro's spiral design across his back in March - just a couple of weeks after he met Price at Elton John's post-Oscar party in Los Angeles.

Katie's new rose design sits atop the crown and tribute to daughter Princess that were already on her left wrist.

It's not the only tattoo that Price has. She also has a ribbon design around her right ankle hanging down over her foot and a bow on her lower back.


New venture: Katie is launching an America's Top Model style show entitled Discovered by Katie Price


Peter Andre opted to have his own tribute to Katie removed by laser last year.

His tattoo was in a rather more symbolic place on his body - his wedding finger.

But the Australian singer had the small 'Katie' etching removed over a period of several treatments last year.
