PHOTO David Beckham gets “Love” tattoo, Harper Seven approves

Coolest dad on the planet David Beckham continues to distance himself from the competition, this time with a sentimental addition to his rather extensive collection of tattoos.

The soccer star, husband of Victoria Beckham, and all around uber stud had the word “Love” tattooed on his left hand, right beside an image of a bird in flight. As if that wasn’t awesome enough, The Becks posed for a photo of the new tattoo with his newborn daughter Harper Seven Beckham grabbing at his finger. Awwwwwwwwww!!!!

Victoria shared the photo on Twitter along with the tweet:

Harper loves Daddy’s new tattoo of love. X VB

I did a bit of research (yeah, wikipedia) and the swallow tattoo was historically used by sailors to represent how far they had traveled, but it can also represent “love, care and affection towards family and friends, showing the loyalty of the person always returning to them.”

C’mon Brad Pitt, you’re getting left in the dust here!
