Is Beckham's 16-year marriage on the rocks?

Victoria Beckham ceases to be a fan of body art these days.

The singer and fashion designer has reportedly undergone laser treatment to get her tattoo dedicated to the football legend husband David Beckham removed.

The 41-year-old mother-of-four has been having sessions to banish the Hebrew inking, which reads 'I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine' and is etched down her spine from the nape of her neck to her upper back.

The glamorous couple’s 16-year marriage is under scrutiny after it was claimed she was getting her tattoos – which are tributes to her husband – removed.

Victoria is said to be having her tattoos removed in a bid to be taken more seriously in the fashion industry.

Victoria has rubbished reports that she and David are going through marriage difficulties.

The family spent the summer holidays in Los Angeles this year – as they have tended to do after living there previously.

And David was firmly by his wife’s side earlier this week when she showed her latest fashion collection during New York fashion week.
