Victoria Beckham, 48, sparked speculation that there was trouble in paradise when eagle-eyed fans spotted that a tattoo bearing her husband David Beckham's initials had disappeared from her wrist.The ex-Spice Girl turned fashion entrepreneur has now finally spoken on the question that's been on everyone's lips - why she had her signature inking removed.The fashion designer insisted that there was no deeper meaning about her marriage behind the removal, explaining that she had simply grown tired of the aesthetic."I had these tattoos [done] a long, long time ago, and they just weren't particularly delicate," she explained in an interview on the Today show in the USA."My husband has so many gorgeous tattoos, and the children do, and they're very fine, and they've had them created by the most phenomenal artists."However, she didn't feel the same about her own, lamenting: "Mine were just a little bit thick, and they were bleeding, a little bit, and just not looking as pretty."Admitting that her "DB" tattoo had begun to turn a "blue-ish colour", she decided she had to take action and have it lasered off."[It] just didn't look so nice.
It doesn't mean anything more than that," she reiterated."I think the media started to speculate, was I leaving my husband? No.
