Victoria Beckham denies marriage trouble as she explains 'DB' tattoo removal

Victoria Beckham has denied her marriage is in trouble as she explained the reason for removing an affectionate tattoo of her husband David's initials from her wrist. The Spice Girl, 48, had a very simple reason behind the removal and it all came down to 'aesthetics'. Reassuring fans her 23-year marriage with David was stronger than ever, Victoria said the tattoo removal was simply because it was no longer 'looking pretty. "I had these tattoos a long, long time ago and they just weren’t particularly delicate," Posh Spice said.

"They were bleeding a little bit and just not looking pretty. I was just a bit sick of the tattoo." She said the removal 'didn't mean anything more than the fact it wasn't looking as nice. "It’s as simple as that," Posh insisted.
