David Beckham gets Minion tattoo chosen by daughter Harper


June 30, 2015

David Beckham has added to his impressive collection of more than 30 tattoos with some new body art. The father-of-four unveiled a temporary Minion tattoo on Tuesday given to him by his daughter Harper.

The former England footballer's wife Victoria Beckham shared the new design on Instagram, writing: "Harper has just added to Daddie's tattoo collection x happy Tuesday in the sunshine! X vb".

It appears the fake tattoo, featuring a cute yellow Minion character, has been placed on David's stomach below an inking that pays tribute to his late grandfather Joe West.

While the comical body art is only temporary, David does have a more permanent mark of his love for three-year-old Harper after getting her name tattooed above his left collar bone in 2011.

The 40-year-old will do anything for his daughter, including letting her dress him up as a "princess". Sharing a photo of Harper positioning a large drop earring by his ear in May, David told his fans: "Harpers not the only princess in the house."

He also allowed Harper to style his hair into ponytails the morning after his 40th birthday celebrations in Marrakech.

"Someone is trying to make daddy feel pretty today after a heavy night," he jokingly captioned the picture.

David often spends quality time with his only daughter, who turns four on 10 July. As well as teaching the youngster to ride a bike, David appears to be passing on his famous football skills to Harper judging by a recent Instagram photo which shows her kicking a football into a goal.

"Mia Hamm eat your heart out," David jokingly captioned the snap, referring to retired American player Mia – who once held the record for most international goals of any male or female player in history. "Harper Seven taking lessons from her brothers (oh and her dad)."

Proud mum Victoria recently opened up about her daughter's love of sport during a talk about her fashion label in New York.

"Harper loves football," she said. "It's like a dagger going into my heart! She's got little shoes and a little football shirt and she runs around in the garden with her brothers.

"So as much as she is girly, she's a tomboy as well."
