Brooklyn Beckham’s tattoos are mostly love letters, family notes, and little reminders that have been turned into body art. He has a lot of ink, but the main story is pretty simple: much of it is about the people closest to him.
Brooklyn started collecting tattoos for his parents and siblings, then built up a much bigger group of designs for his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham. Page Six reported in its January 2026 tattoo guide that he has dozens and dozens of pieces, and that he once said 70 of his 100 tattoos were dedicated to Nicola. The exact total keeps changing, but the theme is easy to spot.
Some tattoos are easy to read, like the word “Married” or Nicola’s name. Others are long notes, wedding vows, family initials, portraits, and bits of handwriting. Here’s a relaxed look at the pieces that have actually been shown, along with what they mean.
Brooklyn’s hand tattoos: Nicola, “our little bubble,” and “lover”
Brooklyn’s hands are covered in small reminders of his relationship. He has “Nicola” written across the back of one hand, with “beautiful girl” above it. There is also an “N” on his ring finger with a heart, which makes the wedding-ring comparison pretty obvious.
Another hand tattoo says “our little bubble.” It is a small phrase, but it sums up the way Brooklyn and Nicola have talked about their relationship. The idea is that they have their own little world, separate from the noise around them.
He also has the word “lover” on his index finger. Celebrity tattoo coverage can make every piece sound huge and dramatic, but this one is refreshingly simple. It is just one word, placed where he can see it all the time.
The hand tattoos are some of the clearest examples of Brooklyn’s style. He likes script, short phrases, and writing that looks as if it could have come from a note or a card. They are personal without needing a long explanation.
The long “my life” letter across his arm
One of Brooklyn’s bigger text tattoos runs up his right arm. Nicola showed it in an Instagram Story with the words “Forever my person,” while the tattoo itself reads, “My life, my love, my truth, my breath, my reason, my beauty, my precious.” Her birthday, January 9, is written underneath.
It is a lot of words for one tattoo, but that is kind of the point. Brooklyn does not seem interested in keeping his romantic tattoos vague. If he feels something, he is happy to write the whole thing down.
The piece also has that handwritten look that appears across much of his collection. It does not look like a neat logo or a polished slogan. It looks like a message from one person to another, which makes it feel more like a private letter that happened to land on his arm.
There is a slightly funny side to having a full love letter tattooed on your body. Most people would write a text or buy a card. Brooklyn went for the permanent version. Still, the tattoo is easy to understand, and the wording is clearly meant to be about Nicola rather than a generic romantic quote.
Nicola’s portrait and the wedding-song lyrics
Brooklyn’s most eye-catching tattoo is a large portrait of Nicola on his upper arm. He showed it during an appearance on “The Jennifer Hudson Show” in March 2023, and the tattoo takes up a big section of his arm.
The portrait is not the only part of the design. Brooklyn explained that he added lyrics from the song Nicola walked down the aisle to on the same day. That detail gives the portrait a second layer. It is not just a picture of his wife. It is tied to their wedding and to a specific moment they shared.
This is the kind of piece that makes the sheer amount of ink easier to understand. Brooklyn’s tattoos are not only about showing off how much work he has had done. He keeps turning important moments into something he can carry around.
The portrait has also become one of the tattoos people mention first when talking about Brooklyn. It is big, easy to spot, and much harder to miss than the tiny words on his fingers. At the same time, it still follows the same personal rule as the smaller pieces: it points back to Nicola.
“Peltz” across his chest and the Cupid connection
Brooklyn has “Peltz” tattooed in huge letters across his chest. He got it in July 2022, after marrying into the Peltz family. The lettering sits between existing Cupid tattoos, which he had done as a nod to his father David Beckham’s similar angel designs.
This one is a good example of Brooklyn’s tattoos mixing new and old family references. The surname points to Nicola and her family, while the Cupids connect the design back to his dad. It is not a totally separate tribute. It sits inside a bigger family tattoo story.
The word is also impossible to miss. A tiny name on the wrist can stay private, but a giant surname across the chest is a full public declaration. Brooklyn has never seemed too worried about being subtle when it comes to these tattoos.
That is part of what makes his collection so recognizable. There are tiny finger tattoos next to giant chest lettering. There are delicate script pieces beside large portraits. The designs do not all follow one style, but they do follow one very clear feeling.
Gina, the prayer, and the family initials
Nicola’s grandmother, Gina, has been remembered in more than one of Brooklyn’s tattoos. After Gina died in 2020, Brooklyn had her name tattooed as a birthday gift for Nicola. Nicola shared a photo of the fresh ink and called it the best birthday gift.
Two years later, he added another tribute: a prayer that Gina had held dear. The words say, “Focused in the present, sincere towards others and trusting in our self, know that you cannot fail.” It is a longer piece, and it sits on the left side of Brooklyn’s torso.
Above it are the initials “dvbrch,” which stand for David, Victoria, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper. That little group of letters brings his own family into the same part of his body art. The prayer is for Nicola’s grandmother, while the initials point back to the Beckham family.
The Gina tattoos show how Brooklyn’s collection has grown beyond simple husband-and-wife tributes. Nicola’s family is part of the story too. He has used tattoos to mark people who matter to her, not just the relationship itself.
The handwriting style makes these pieces feel even more personal. The prayer does not look like a standard typeface picked from a tattoo menu. It looks like a message someone would actually write down, which suits the meaning behind it.
The wedding vows that run down his arm: Brooklyn also had part of his wedding vows tattooed down his arm. The text starts with a line about how words cannot describe his love, then continues with promises about Nicola being his world and falling more in love with her every day.
This might be the most literal love-letter tattoo in the collection. He did not just take a short phrase from the ceremony. He chose a chunk of the vows and made it part of his body art.
It also explains why photographs of Brooklyn’s arms can look so busy. One area might have a portrait, a line of lyrics, a family message, and several older tattoos all sitting close together. The pieces do not always have much blank space between them.
That crowded look seems intentional. Brooklyn keeps adding memories instead of waiting for one perfect plan. Each new tattoo fills in another part of the story, and the result is more like a diary than a single matching design.
His approach is very different from someone who gets one small tattoo and leaves it alone. Brooklyn clearly enjoys the process, and he has said he is addicted to tattooing. Once you see the vows, the long love letter, and Nicola’s portrait, that makes a lot more sense.
The eyes, “Married,” and the other personal details: During their engagement, Brooklyn had Nicola’s eyes tattooed on the back of his neck. Underneath, he added a note she had written to him, signed “your future wifey.” The tattoo also includes geographic coordinates for the Portland Hospital in London, where Brooklyn was born.
He later added the word “Married” to his hand and showed it off after surprising Nicola. It is another small piece with a very direct message. There is no mystery about what it means, and there is no need for a long caption.
Brooklyn’s wrist also has a version of the rosary beads that belong to Nicola’s mother, Claudia. That tribute is easy to miss among the other tattoos, but it shows the range of people included in his collection. The designs reach from his wife to her grandmother and mother, as well as his own parents and siblings.
There are plenty of other pieces that have not been shown clearly. Page Six noted that most of Brooklyn’s tattoos have never been revealed, so no public list can honestly claim to cover everything. The number has also changed over time, which is worth keeping in mind when older articles say he has 20, 50, 70, or 100 tattoos.
The safest way to describe the collection is this: Brooklyn has a lot of ink, and much of the documented work is connected to an always personal mix of family, marriage, and memories that he wants to keep close.
That family-first idea puts Brooklyn in a similar lane to other public figures who use tattoos as reminders rather than decoration. Carson Daly’s collection is a good example from a different generation, with designs tied to his parents, children, grandparents, and old New York memories.
