Brooklyn Beckham removes dad David Beckham’s tattoo as family feud deepens: ‘He wanted it gone’- Reports |

Brooklyn Beckham has quietly removed a tattoo dedicated to his father, David Beckham, and the timing has reignited attention on the family’s deepening feud. The change was spotted while Brooklyn was in Los Angeles with his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, just weeks after he publicly confirmed that he has cut ties with his parents. Once part of a larger anchor design, the word “Dad” on his right arm has been replaced with small symbols, a subtle edit that many see as loaded with meaning rather than style.
