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.

32. I wonder how long it will be before Becks takes his sons to get tattoos of their own?
Even the latest tattoo is thicker than Posh`s waist.

33. “The tattoo is written in traditional Mandarin Chinese and is an old Chinese proverb that says: 'Death and life have determined appointments, Riches and honors depends upon heaven.'
