David Beckham showed off his neck tattoos and a whole new look to adorn the cover of Love magazine.

Posing in front of a hot-pink and red backdrop, the soccer star, 43, sported a white blazer and a beige, pin-striped button-down for the photo shoot and jazzed up an otherwise understated ensemble with turquoise eyeliner. In the shot, he looked off camera so the birds, flowers and script inked on his neck are clearly visible.

The magazine revealed that its upcoming issue, out Tuesday, tells the story of how the father of four balanced his confidence on the field with his struggle to feel at ease when he wasn’t kicking a ball around.

“From the very first time he set foot on the field, @davidbeckham knew he wanted to be a football player. ‘That’s how my career started and that is where I felt most at ease, most confident and happiest. I turned into a totally different person. Once I was on the field I knew that was what I could do best,’ ” explains the caption of an Instagram of the cover shared to Love‘s account.

Beckham may be the epitome of an A-list celeb, but his family has stayed very important to him. Last week, he celebrated the start of 2019 with his wife, Victoria Beckham, 44, their sons, Brooklyn Beckham, 19, Romeo Beckham, 16, and Cruz Beckham, 13, and daughter Harper, 7.
