David Beckham has debuted his brand new tattoo, which celebrates his marriage to wife Victoria.

The former footballer showed off the sentimental inking on his Instagram account on Thursday morning, the number 99, which is the year he wed the fashion designer.

He captioned the close up of the tattoo, which is on little finger: "99 was a good year for me ..."

Beckham, 40, tied the knot with the former Spice Girl in the July of 1999, and the pair have gone on to have four children together.

The number could also be a reference to his sporting career as 1999 was also the year that his team Manchester United won the treble.

The star is known for his love of poignant bod art and has a number of tattoos referring to his children and his wife.
