Damn, David! Back at it again with the hot tats.

There are two things we know about former soccer star David Beckham: he's obsessed with getting inked.

Oh, and the second thing? Victoria Beckham's hot hubby is fiiiiiiine.

The 40-year-old stud is covered in more than 40 tattoos which perfectly complement his chiseled bod.

The most recent addition to his collection is an ankle tat of a classical couple:

Because: art.

With so many dozens of additions, many of which can blend together into sleeves and older tattoos, we're taking a moment to break out some notable designs that are the hottest tats to be found on Beckham's bod.

Let's take a look at the sexy standouts, shall we?

1. Brooklyn lower back tat: Do you know what it must feel like to know your dad has a "tramp stamp" honoring that you're his first born? Probably pretty damn great. That's a prime piece of real estate.

2. 99 pinky finger tat: It references the year David married Victoria, his son Brooklyn Beckham was born, and he won the Treble with Manchester United. Also, '99 is the number of shirtless David Beckham photos we've saved onto our work computers.

3. 'Dream Big Be Unrealistic' hand tat: The ink references a Jay Z quote from his On The Run tour two years ago. No harm in dreaming big when it comes to celeb crushes too, people.

4. "Let them hate as long as they fear" arm tat: Reasons we like this one? Sure, it references one of Caligula's favorite sayings, but also, it's like a classy version of "haters gonna hate." DB, you're so sexy sophisticated.

5. Victoria pinup arm tat: David's arm candy, literally, is a tattoo of a Brigitte Bardot-style photo shoot of his stunning wife Victoria. Hot. Damn.

6. Rose neck tat: Above his daughter dedicated tattoos "Pretty Lady" and "Harper," Beckham has ink of a single rose in bloom. Perhaps another homage to the little lady in his life? Or his wife? Or he's a huge fan of The Bachelor... in which case, we're even more into it!

7. Guardian angel back tat: Perhaps one of his most recognizable tattoos, David Beckham's guardian angel back tat had his sons' names above and below. It also watches over us as we, you know, check out the Beckham.

8. Chinese proverb rib cage tat: It translates to: "Death and life have determined appointments. Riches and honor depend on heaven." But all we can hear is: OMG, look at that super-hot oblique tattoo placement!

9. Cupid and Psyche arm tat: Beckham's bicep tat is based on a painting by 15th century artist Francesco Francia, though it censors Psyche with a veil, to make it a little more family friendly. DB loves Renaissance art and showing off his bulging biceps. We're on board!

The ink isn't the only reason we can't get enough Beckham. See more of the sexy soccer stud in the video and photos below...
