Brooklyn Beckham gets his maiden tattoo

Brooklyn Beckham has followed in his father and former football star David Beckham's footsteps by having a portrait of a Native American inked on his body.

The 18-year-old had the tattoo - which is his first - inscribed on to his forearm by his father's friend, Mark Mahoney, at the Shamrock Social Club in Los Angeles, reported The Independent.

Brooklyn also posted a series of black-and-white pictures of his sore-looking arm, featuring the brand-new piece of body art.

"Honoured to have my first tattoo done by dads friend Mark Mahoney," he wrote.
