All the tattoos Brooklyn Beckham has devoted to his household – as he COVERS UP his tribute to dad David in brutal transfer amid bitter household feud – so will he take away these inkings too?

The Beckham family are known for their love of tattoos, with David and his three sons Brooklyn, Cruz and Romeo all partial to new inkings.
Brooklyn, 26, is covered in various artworks including tributes to his wife Nicola Peltz and his family.
However, family is now a very touchy subject for the aspiring chef who has been locked in a bitter feud with his parents and siblings for months now.
Things came to a head in January when he launched a blistering attack on them accusing them of controlling him and trying to sabotage his marriage before saying he ‘doesn’t wish to reconcile’ with them.
In the wake of the statement, this week it was reported that the large anchor tattoo that he has inked onto his upper right arm which once carried the words ‘dad’ through it has been altered.
Directly underneath was the message ‘Love you Bust’ – a reference to David’s endearing nickname for his first born.
However, new pictures obtained by The Sun appear to show Brooklyn has covered up the tribute. They claim he has had it redesigned to now show just three nondescript shapes across the anchor.
It comes after last year it was revealed that Brooklyn had also layered over the ‘mama’s boy’ tattoo tribute to his mother Victoria which was on his chest.
It begs the question as to whether he will have anymore of his family tattoos removed or covered up as relations have hit an all time low.
After the brutal move – here are all of Brooklyn’s many inking and their meanings:

Mama’s boy tribute to Victoria – COVERED UP
Brooklyn – a self-proclaimed tattoo addict – unveiled the words ‘mama’s boy’ on his chest in 2019 to honour his fashion designer mother Victoria.
But last June Brooklyn went shirtless for a shoot with Glamour Germany alongside Nicola – and the snaps were very revealing.
Amid the then ongoing feud the shoot for Glamour magazine revealed that Brooklyn has savagely chosen to cover up the tattoo tribute to Victoria.
The small two-word inking was layered at some point with a bunch of flowers – seemingly another tattoo tribute to his wife Nicola, of which he already has more than 70.
He has not commented on the reason for the inking being covered up.
