Ah, young love: may we know it, may we feet it and may we tattoo it all over body to surprise our significant other with. Ok, we know that last one is not how the saying goes, but we're coining it as a new phrase since we learned that Brooklyn Beckham, now Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, has 70 tattoos dedicated to his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham.
70 permanent inkings on his body and we can't even get a text back?! Yep, cool, we feel fine about that.
The couple married in a lavish Palm Beach ceremony earlier this year (where Elton John entertained hundreds of guests with his dulcet tones and notorious piano stylings), and it's clear that the newlywed buzz hasn't worn off yet. Bringing his total tattoos up to a respectable 100, Brooklyn revealed his latest addition via Instagram Stories a short while ago, showing himself with the word ‘married’ tattooed across his hand, adding the words “surprised my baby" over the top.
And you think that after the 68th or 69th tattoo your husband dedicates to you, the shine might wear off. But no, not in Nicola's case, who, Brooklyn told USA Today, “always cries” when he surprises her with a new ink addition.
“Only for you, David.”
“I kind of was just like, 'Oh, we're married, why not? It wasn't a thing I thought about for months. I got married five months ago, why not?” he said during an interview with US news channel, adding: “'She always cries when I get her another tattoo, I always love to surprise her with new ink."

Well, to be fair, we might cry too if our partner immortalised our wedding vows on his arm shortly after our nuptials. Brooklyn's tattoo tribute to the couple's big day reads: "Nicola when you walked down the aisle you took my breath away you look so beautiful tonight and always.
"Let me start by saying that words cannot even describe my love for you just looking at you I see my future and it feels like a dream. You are my world and I continue to fall more in love with you every single day.
“Having you in my life is the best thing that has ever happened to me as you have made me become the man I am today.
"I have been looking forward to this day for so long, because today is the day I get to marry you, my forever babe, my love and my best friend, Nicola - today you become my partner, my other half - and my family and because of that I am the luckiest man in the world to be able to spend the rest of my life with you.
Long-distance “took its toll” on the young couple.
“I promise to be the best partner, the best husband and man and to always take care of you, to make you laugh, feel safe and more importantly loved.”
The tattoo concludes: “I can't wait to live out our dreams together and have lots of babies and be yours forever because you are forever mine.”
Short and snappy, right?
No, we joke, but we actually think the new Brooklyn Peltz Beckham's public outpouring for his wife is utterly adorable, particularly as some of us have been trying for years to get our partner to post even one photo of us to the grid ("It doesn't even have to have a caption!"),
Other inkings for Nicola include a childlike scrawl on his upper right hand bearing the message “our little bubble", a tattoo of her mother's rosary beads tattooed onto the same hand and artwork including a love letter Nicola penned, a large script, her grandmothers name, Nicola and her eyes.
Brooklyn previously had “Gina” inked on his arm in a touching tribute to Nicolas late grandmother.
Our biggest question is, what is he going to do when he runs out of space?!
The event reportedly involved floating flowers, a speech by David Beckham, and all the celebrity guests.
