Romeo and Cruz Beckham have revealed new tattoos in tribute to their family, just days after it appeared their brother Brooklyn covered up his own.

The family feud exploded last month when Brooklyn dropped a bombshell with a series of Instagram posts in which he said he had no intention of reconciling with his family.

He posted a photo of his new tattoo to Instagram - the word 'family' in italic writing on the back of his neck, underneath a cross and wings which he already had.

The news comes shortly after it emerged that Brooklyn had covered up a number of tattoo tributes to his family.

The tattoo on Brooklyn’s arm previously appeared to show the word “Dad” on an anchor, but new pictures show the word has been covered with three nondescript shapes.

A source told The Sun: “Brooklyn’s had laser treatment on the writing. He wanted it gone. There is so much hurt and pain on his side, it would not be genuine to keep such a tribute on his body.”

In Brooklyn’s bombshell statement on January 19, he said he was “standing up” for himself for the first time in his life.

He said: "For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family.

"The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.

“My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped.

“Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they'll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade.”

He also claimed that he was “humiliated” during the wedding by Victoria, who allegedly danced inappropriately on her son while taking Nicola’s place during the traditional first dance.
