Becks' New Tat: Say What?

Posted Mar 17th 2008 1:55PM by TMZ Staff

David Beckham airs out his hot abs and shows off some new body art. Becks and the rest of the LA Galaxy were in Dallas playing a sold-out charity game against FC Dallas.

We're not sure what kind of writing Becks has scribbled on him (Buddhist? Japanese? Buddha-nese?) or what the heck it says. Any guesses?

UPDATE: TMZ's resident Asian orthography expert reveals that the ink is comprised of cursive Chinese characters, the first of which means "life," and another of which means long life. There are several characters meaning "wealth." All in all, something along the lines of Becks being rich for a real long time. Yeah, that seems about right.

19. Yes. It says,"I'm an uneducated chav and I tattoo myself because I want to look like a hardened criminal." He lowers his marketability with each trip to the tat parlor.

And if it's true that Katie Holmes told Posh that tattoos are "trashy," then I say good for Katie. We Americans don't need to take our cues from such as these Beckhams.When his contract expires, I hope they go back home. They have failed to wow us or make a big impression. Go back to England where they actually appreciate these 2.

21. could be some kind of buddhist mantra. the first letter means 'live", the forth one means 'life", the fifth one means 'wealth, fortune" and the sixth one means"light". other letters are also written in chinese/japanese kanji (very popular among inkers) but i can't figure out. :)

30. It translates to -- my agent said it not only looks cool, but could help corner the asian market on endorsements. This guy would tatoo a nike swoosh on his forhead if it wasn't so obvious he was the worlds biggest sellout.
