The soccer star got some special ink to mark 10 years of marriage to Victoria Beckham

David Beckham didn’t get his wife, Victoria Beckham, any ordinary anniversary gift to celebrate 10 years of marriage: He got a tattoo.

“Yeah, I [got] 10 roses around my arms,” the inked soccer, 34, star tells Ellen DeGeneres on the Sept. 8 season premiere of her chat show.

DeGeneres then wonders aloud if Beckham ever thinks about “getting a tattoo of me anywhere on your body.” He replies: “I’m very tempted.”

As for how he and Victoria, 35, keep their marriage fresh after 10 years and three kids together, he says, “We always try to do special things. It’s not always about buying gifts for each other. We just make sure that we spend time together or go for dinner together and do special things. That is important to us.”
