DAVID Beckham has revealed a tiny black heart tattoo on his ear.
The former England footballer, 43, is covered in ink after building up an impressive collection of designs over the years.
Golden Balls debuted his dainty new tattoo at the launch event for his new Adidas range in Guangzhou city, China.
Wearing leggings and a long sleeved top under his sports shorts and T-shirt, Becks’ many other tattoos were hidden.
But the fresh new ink on his ear was clearly visible as he showed off his newly designed Beckham trainers.
Last year, David unveiled his most out of this world tattoo to date – an intricate grouping of planets inked onto his left temple.
The tattoo was on display during David’s trip to Macau and could be clearly seen underneath his new, much shorter haircut.
Left arm
It seems David’s left arm is dedicated to wife Victoria and the deep love they have for one another. At the top going up onto his shoulder is an image of a painting by 15th-century artist Francesco Francia, which features Cupid carrying his wife, Psyche, up to heaven.
Next to the tattoo of “Victoria” in Sanskrit, the former England footballer has a line from the Torah reading: “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine”written in Hebrew.
The superstar also has a six-inch tattoo of a lingerie-clad VB, supposedly inspired from hin favourite Brigitte Bardot-style photo.
Right arm
In addition to being his daughter’s middle name, the number seven holds special significance in David’s life as it represents his jersey number from Manchester United and England. The dad-of-four has a large Roman numeral seven inked on the inside of his arm.
At the top of his arm David has an inking featuring an angel with the saying “In the Face of Adversity”. It’s believed to be an expression of his distress during his alleged affair with model and personal assistant Rebecca Loos.
Back
Beckham’s huge back tattoo was first inked in 2000, which featured a bald figure with arms outstretched like Jesus on the cross. He later added the large wings to give it the look of a guardian angel.
David’s back also features an homage to his three sons with Gothic script of Romeo, Cruz and Brooklyn all featuring down the ex-footballer.
Neck
The star had his daughter’s name inked on his neck but didn’t decided it wasn’t enough of a tribute, so added ‘Pretty lady’ and a large rose tattoo.
David also has four birds flying up his neck, most likely representing his children, and the words “I Love You” in cursive going around to the top of his back.
Over on the other side, David has “Buster”, which is the nickname he gave oldest son Brooklyn when he was born.
Chest
On the right side of his chest David has a tattoo of a lady in the forest, no one is too sure what it means.
Over on his left pec, is a portrait of Jesus designed to look like him and three baby angels lifting Jesus from his tomb.
Head
The former footballer debuted the inking of a solar system on the side of his head just over a year ago.
Right palm
One of the most recent additions to David Beckham’s body art is a drawing by daughter Harper. Inked on the inside of Beckham’s hand, it’s a cute little image of a stick figure with a heart next to it.
Earlier this week, David enjoyed some quality family time as he went quad biking with his children – Harper, Brooklyn and his model girlfriend, Hana Cross.
The brood were seen tearing across the open field with even the Beckham family dog, Olive, joining in the fun.
Brooklyn, 20, took control of his bike as girlfriend, Hana, 22, wrapped her arms tightly round his waist.
Little Harper, 7 – who wore a huge safety helmet – had her own mini quad and was joined on the seat by their cute Chocolate Cocker Spaniel, Olive.
At one point, David jumped on the back of Harper’s bike to give her a steady hand.
Brooklyn was seen taking his bike for a freestyle ride as he roared up and down a steep grass slope.
Brooklyn confirmed his relationship with Hana late last year after the couple were pictured enjoying numerous dates together.
But, The Sun’s Bizarre revealed there was trouble in paradise as the pair had a very public bust up after a boozy night out.
A source said: “Brooklyn had sunk a few beers and ended up getting into a row with Hana. It had been a bit of a wild night out and it got a bit messy.
“Brooklyn got really upset and ended up storming into the street. Hana read him the riot act and told him she didn’t like it when he was acting up and drinking too much.”
Last week, David admitted driving his flash £100,000 Bentley while using a mobile phone.
The former England captain was charged after being spotted by a passer-by as he drove through London’s West End last November.
