Brooklyn Beckham displayed his covered up tattoo tribute to his father Sir David during an outing in Los Angeles with his wife Nicola Peltz on Wednesday.
Last month the estranged son of Sir David, 50, and Victoria, 51, released a scathing statement where he publicly said he did not wish to reconcile with his family.
Brooklyn, 26, has now delivered another crushing blow to his father by altering his tattoo tribute to him.
The hot sauce owner’s large anchor tattoo that he has inked onto his upper right arm once carried the words ‘dad’ through it.
Directly underneath is the message ‘Love you Bust’ – Sir David’s endearing nickname for his first born.
However, on his outing with Nicola, Brooklyn’s tattoo had been altered with the original ‘dad’ altered to nondescript shapes and a star.

The tattoo previously said ‘dad’ as shown but the letters have been covered with symbols
His dad’s nickname text is also faded and less prominent.
It also appears that Brooklyn has begun to remove his tattoo tributes to his siblings Romeo and Cruz, after having them added to his fingers in 2020.
During the outing, a thick line could be seen where Romeo’s name used to be on Brooklyn’s ring finger.
Brooklyn cut a casual figure in a white T-shirt and blue jeans as he held hands with his wife who was dressed in jeans and a cream crop top.
Just a day previous, Sir David’s ‘Buster’ neck tattoo he had done in 2015 to honour his son was visible during his visit to Doha.
Last year, Brooklyn had his ‘mama’s boy’ chest tattoo tribute for his Spice Girl mother Victoria covered up.
Nicola’s billionaire father Nelson spoke about the family drama when he did a Q and A at WSJD’s Invest Live in West Palm Beach event on Tuesday.
Nelson said: ‘My daughter and the Beckhams are a whole other story and that’s not for coverage here today. But I’ll tell you my daughter is great, my son-in-law Brooklyn is great and I look forward to them having a long, happy marriage together.’
Nelson was also asked if he gave the couple advice in how to navigate a difficult situation. He replied: ‘I do. Sometimes they give me advice.’

Nicola’s father’s wealth eclipses that of his co-parents-in-law, with the businessman boasting a net worth of $1.6billion, in comparison to the Beckhams’ $680million.
The Beckhams have maintained a stoic silence since Brooklyn released a damning statement in which he outlined his reasons for cutting ties with his family.
Brooklyn’s parents and his siblings Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14, instead put on their own show of unity at Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris.
As the Beckham family were in France, Brooklyn and Nicola splashed out on dinner and wine at Meghan and Harry’s favourite California hotel.
The young couple were pictured kissing at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito.
San Ysidro Ranch is just around the corner from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who have also spent nights there.
There was a bottle of red open on the table and Brooklyn shared some pictures from the wine cellar, including one of the world’s finest, and most expensive dessert wines, worth £17,000 a bottle.
It is not known if the Peltz Beckhams bought the 1831 Château d’Yquem or the 1811 vintage next to it, which last sold at auction in 2012 for around £75,000.
Although if reports of Nicola’s £1million-a-month allowance from her billionaire father are to be believed, they could no doubt afford both.
Whatever they drank, the couple put on a show of unity – and romance – with a set of Instagram photos of their stay at San Ysidro, which can cost up to $2,595 a night.
In his statement, Brooklyn went as far as to say he has been ‘controlled by a family that values public promotion above all else’ and that since being with his wife Nicola, he has found ‘peace and relief’ after battling crippling anxiety.
He wrote: ‘I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private.
There was no sign of trouble as Sir David and Victoria joined three of their children in Paris at the end of January – the family’s first appearance since Brooklyn’s scathing statement

‘Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.
‘I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.
‘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.
‘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. But I believe the truth always comes out.’
He continued: ‘My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped.
‘My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.
‘Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.
‘They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated.
‘My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.’
While his parents are said to be ‘devastated’ by his comments, a source close to them said they would ‘welcome Brooklyn back into the fold’ should he wish to reconcile in the future.
