Brooklyn Beckham’s tattoos are mostly notes to people close to him: love letters, family names and short reminders. He has a lot of ink, but many designs are tied to someone or a moment in his life.

He began with tattoos for his parents and siblings, then added many for his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham. Page Six’s January 2026 guide said he had dozens and dozens of pieces and reported that he once said 70 of his 100 tattoos were dedicated to Nicola. The number changes, but the theme is clear.

Some tattoos are short words, like “Married” or Nicola’s name. Others are longer notes, wedding vows, family initials, portraits and handwriting. This guide covers pieces he has shown publicly and the explanations he has given for them.

Brooklyn’s hand tattoos: Nicola, “our little bubble,” and “lover”

Brooklyn has several small tattoos on his hands for Nicola. “Nicola” crosses the back of one hand, with “beautiful girl” above it. An “N” and a heart on his ring finger echo the place of a wedding band.

Another hand tattoo reads “our little bubble.” Brooklyn and Nicola have used the phrase for the small world they share, away from the noise around them.

He has “lover” on his index finger. It’s a single word he can see throughout the day, without a longer message attached.

These hand tattoos show his preference for script and short phrases, some written like notes or cards. They make sense on their own, without needing a long explanation.

The long “my life” letter across his arm

Nicola showed one of Brooklyn’s larger text tattoos in an Instagram Story. It runs up his right arm. Her caption read “Forever my person,” while the tattoo says, “My life, my love, my truth, my breath, my reason, my beauty, my precious.” Her birthday, January 9, is written below.

It’s a long message, and Brooklyn hasn’t tried to shorten his romantic tattoos to a word or two. This one spells out the phrases he chose for Nicola.

The lettering looks handwritten, like much of his collection. It reads more like a message than a logo or slogan, giving the tattoo a private-letter feel.

There’s a bit of contrast in tattooing a full love letter: most people might send a text or card, while Brooklyn put the message on his arm. The wording is about Nicola, not a generic quote.

Nicola’s portrait and the wedding-song lyrics

Brooklyn’s most noticeable tattoo is a large portrait of Nicola on his upper arm. He showed it on The Jennifer Hudson Show in March 2023. It covers a large section of his arm.

He said he added lyrics from the song Nicola walked down the aisle to that same day. The portrait is tied to their wedding as well as to Nicola herself.

The portrait is a record of a particular moment, as well as an image of his wife.

The portrait is larger and easier to spot than the small words on his fingers, but it follows the same pattern: it points to Nicola.

“Peltz” across his chest and the Cupid connection

Brooklyn has “Peltz” in large letters across his chest. He got it in July 2022, after marrying into the Peltz family. The word sits between Cupid tattoos he already had; those were his nod to his father David Beckham’s similar angel designs.

The Peltz tattoo brings Nicola’s family into a design that already nods to his own father. It connects the new surname to older family references.

It’s hard to miss: unlike a small wrist tattoo, the chest lettering is a public statement. Brooklyn hasn’t shied away from large, visible tattoos about his relationship.

His tattoos range from tiny finger lettering to large chest words and portraits. The styles vary, but many return to Nicola and his family.

Gina, the prayer, and the family initials

Nicola’s grandmother Gina appears in more than one tattoo. After Gina died in 2020, Brooklyn tattooed her name as a birthday gift for Nicola. Nicola posted a photo of the fresh tattoo and called it the best birthday gift.

Two years later, he added a prayer Gina had held dear. It reads, “Focused in the present, sincere towards others and trusting in our self, know that you cannot fail.” The longer text sits on the left side of his torso.

Above the prayer are the initials “dvbrch”: David, Victoria, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper. The prayer honors Nicola’s grandmother; the initials name the Beckham family.

These tattoos include people from Nicola’s family as well as his own. They extend his focus beyond his wife to people who matter to her.

The handwritten style fits the material. The prayer looks like a message, not a standard typeface chosen from a tattoo menu.

The wedding vows that run down his arm: Brooklyn also tattooed part of his wedding vows down his arm. They begin with a line about how words cannot describe his love, followed by promises about Nicola being his world and his falling more in love with her each day.

He chose a longer passage from the ceremony rather than a short phrase. The vows become a love letter he wears on his arm.

The text adds to the crowded look of his arms, where a portrait, song lyrics, family messages and older tattoos sit close together. Some sections have little blank space.

Brooklyn keeps adding tattoos rather than planning one finished sleeve. The images and text build up over time, giving the arm the feel of a diary.

He has said he is addicted to tattooing. The vows, long letter and Nicola portrait show how often he returns to that subject.

The eyes, “Married,” and the other personal details: During their engagement, Brooklyn had Nicola’s eyes tattooed on the back of his neck. Beneath them is a note she wrote him, signed “your future wifey.” The tattoo also includes the coordinates of Portland Hospital in London, where he was born.

Later, he added “Married” to his hand and showed it to Nicola as a surprise. The word says exactly what he wanted it to say.

Brooklyn’s wrist also has a version of the rosary beads that belong to Nicola’s mother, Claudia. It can be easy to miss among the other tattoos, but it adds her mother to a collection that already includes Nicola, her grandmother, and Brooklyn’s parents and siblings.

Many of his tattoos haven’t been shown clearly. Page Six noted that most were not revealed publicly, so no list can cover the full collection. Counts also vary by date: older articles have reported 20, 50, 70 or 100 tattoos.

The public examples show a lot of ink, with an always personal mix of family, marriage and memories he wants to keep close.

Carson Daly’s collection offers another example of tattoos tied to parents, children and grandparents, as well as New York memories. Our Carson Daly tattoo guide covers those stories.
