The real reason Victoria Beckham removed David Beckham’s tattoo

for Victoria Beckhamtattoo is not lives forever

Former The Spice Girls singer raised eyebrows in recent years after several tattoos she received in honor of her husband David Beckham disappeared from her body. The faded patterns included David’s initials on her left wrist and a Hebrew phrase inked on her spine that matched the one inked on the soccer star’s arm, prompting some to speculate about marital problems between the longtime couple.

But on October 13, Victoria set a record in her decision to get de-inked. “They just didn’t look that good,” she said during her appearance on the Today with Hoda and Jenna. “It doesn’t mean anything more than that.”

The fashion designer went on to explain that the tattoos she got “a long, long time ago” have turned into a “kind of blue” color over the years. Dissatisfied with the way they looked, Victoria decided it was time to “clean up” her body art collection.
