- Wayne Rooney<p> <span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 12pt;">England footballer Wayne has a large prayer tattoo with son Kai’s name under it which covers his back. It makes regular appearances at the end of matches during the shirt-swap ritual. </span></p>

- David Beckham<p> <span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 12pt;">Superstar David has the name of his daughter Harper etched along his left collarbone, along with a drawing of Jesus being carried by cherubs, dedicated to his older sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.

- Victoria Beckham<p> <span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 12pt;">Posh has five stars tattooed on her lower back - one each for her and David, and one for each of their boys, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz. No word on an inking for Harper as yet…</span></p>

- Ewan McGregor<p> <span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 12pt;">Ewan sports a heart and dagger tattoo with names of wife Eve and daughters Clara, Esther, Jamiyan and Anouck on his right arm. </span></p>

- Kerry Katona<p> <span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 12pt;">Mum of four Kerry has the names of her daughters, Molly and Lily-Sue tattooed on her wrists, in a bid to stop herself self-harming. Speaking about the inks, she said: “My mum was a self harmer. It’s why I’ve got Molly and Lily on my wrists. It would be selfish to leave.” Kerry also has the names of her youngest children, Maxwell and Heidi, on the back of her neck. </span></p>

- Johnny Depp<p> <span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 12pt;">Ill-fated ‘Winona Forever’ tattoo aside, Johnny Depp has some very sweet tattoos dedicated to his children. He is the proud owner of his daughter Lily Rose’s name across his chest, a flying Sparrow with his son Jack’s name underneath, and three hearts for each member of his family. </span></p>

- Adele<p> <span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 12pt;">Adele kept mum about her baby’s name, but after rumours she had named her newborn Angelo circulated, she stepped out sporting this very stylish '</span><a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2013/02/11/adele-keeps-us-guessing-with-new-captail-a-neck-tattoo-at-the-grammys-baby-son-angelo/" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 12pt;" target="_blank">A' just behind her ear.</a><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 12pt;"> Coincidence? </span></p>
