David Beckham is wearing his heart on his sleeve. Well, his neck.
The dad of four showed off his newest tattoo Sunday on Instagram: The word Buster in script. In the caption, he explained of his firstborn son: “I’ve always called Brooklyn (Buster) since the day he was born…. Love you Bust @brooklynbeckham.” The pic has been liked more than 425,000 times.
The admiration is mutual. Brooklyn’s Instagram feed includes plenty of photos of his father, including one a week ago of the 16-year-old smiling while his dad kisses him on the temple. It was captioned “Like father like son.”

David has long gotten tattoos to celebrate his family, which also includes wife Victoria, sons Romeo, 12, and Cruz, 10, and daughter, Harper, 4.

“Mine are all about the people in my life, my wife and sons, who I want with me always,” he told CNN in 2013. “When you see me, you see the tattoos. You see an expression of how I feel about Victoria and the boys. They’re a part of me.” At the time, he had 32 tattoos and said he didn’t “regret any of them.”

He has his wife’s name on the back of his hand, his daughter’s name on his chest, and all his sons’ names on his body as well. Earlier this year, he tattooed one of his fingers with 99, which is the year he married Victoria, became a dad for the first time, and his soccer team, Manchester United, broke records by winning three championships in one season.

David has said he hopes his sons don’t follow in his footsteps by getting ink though.

“[The boys] have already said they’re having tattoos done,” Beckham said on Britain’s Jonathan Ross Show in December 2013. “And I said, ‘Well, be different — don’t have any tattoos.’”
But he admits he’s coming around to the idea after hearing what kind of tattoos they hope to get.
“They said, ‘No, we’re going to have one. We’re going to have Mum and Dad,’” Beckham added. “So I can’t really say no to that.”
