The former England captain, 50, recently shared a close-up photo on Instagram showing the word "Buster," a nickname he has long used for Brooklyn, now 26, tattooed on his neck. Many noticed the timing. Just days before, photos from Los Angeles showed Brooklyn appearing to cover up the word "Dad" on an anchor tattoo on his right arm.
Brooklyn Beckham 'will never get his tattoo tribute to Brooklyn Beckham removed,' per source
According to sources who spoke toOK!Brooklyn's decision was deliberate. "Brooklyn has gone through laser sessions specifically to remove the lettering," one insider said. "This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment cover-up. He was determined to erase the word entirely and made a conscious decision to have it taken off his body."
While Brooklyn appears to be revising his body art, those close to David insist the father's tribute remains untouched and untouchable. "David will never get his tattoo tribute to Brooklyn removed," a separate source said. "Whatever happens, that ink stays. He sees it as a permanent expression of love, not a bargaining chip in a family dispute."

The tension reportedly goes beyond just father and son. It also involves Victoria Beckham, 51, and the couple's other children, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14. The family conflict now stretches across countries, as Brooklyn lives in California with his wife, billionaire heiress Nicola Peltz, 31.
Photographs taken in the U.S. show the "Dad" lettering on Brooklyn's arm replaced with three subtle shapes. He has also covered a chest tattoo dedicated to Victoria. On his arm, the phrase "Love you Bust", once clearly visible, now appears faint. One source described the situation as deeply painful for David. "Watching Brooklyn erase the tattoo for his mother and then take steps to remove the one dedicated to his father is deeply painful," they said. "It's bound to hurt badly and only intensifies the emotional damage at a time when feelings are already raw."
