'Forever by your side': David Beckham's promise to Posh in a new tattoo

David Beckham has used the last inches of bare skin on his left forearm to make a very public promise of loyalty to wife Victoria.

The football star unveiled his romantic declaration - 'Forever by your side' - during a training session with LA Galaxy in Honolulu yesterday ahead of the Pan-Pacific Championship.

His promise: David's new tattoo reads 'Forever by your side'

The phrase is the latest in a series of Posh inspired etchings.

It joins David's six-inch tattoo of Victoria as a bare-breasted angel, surrounded by stars and an older inscription of her name written in Hindi.

A source quoted by Hello! magazine said: "They are both thrilled with the result. It has been beautifully done. Victoria is flattered."

Both David and Victoria have matching tattoos of the Roman numerals VIII.V.MMVI, which stand for the date of their secret commitment ceremony on March 8, 2006.

They also both have tattoos of the same Latin phrase De Integro, meaning "Again from the start".

Perhaps it's David's way of keeping the romance alive, considering the couple's hectic schedules have kept them apart for much of this month.

However, they were briefly reunited in New York earlier this week, where they caught a Broadway performance of The Little Mermaid with sons Brooklyn, 9, Romeo, 6 and three-year-old Cruz.
