The singer-turned-fashion-designer recently showed off the Hebrew inking on the inside of her left wrist, which she got to mark her devotion to soccer star husband David.
The tattoo reads: "Together forever, eternally."
It is understood the inscription pays tribute to David's Jewish roots.
According to the website, "Tattoos are not for Jews," they write: "Our Torah expressly prohibits tattoos: You shall not scrape your flesh for a (dead) soul, and tattoos do not put upon you, I am the L-rd (Leviticus 19:28).
This prohibition applies equally to men and women. Why are tattoos forbidden?There are those who say that this is a divine decree whose reason is unknown to us (Rashi on Tractate Makoth 21A). Maimonides writes that "...this was the custom of the gentiles that they inscribe themselves for idol worship that is to say that he is a slave sold and enlisted for its worship..."(Laws of Idol Worship 12:11).
Regardless of these rabbinical teachings, Becks' grandmother was Jewish, and he has said the religion helped shape him as a child, hence the tatt.
Victoria and David went on holiday to the Maldives to celebrate a decade together last month.
David has also had a new etching to mark the occasion - a ring of 10 roses on his left arm.
Victoria, 35, has several other tattoos, including a Hebrew phrase down her spine which reads, "I am my beloved and my beloved is mine".
She also has five stars on her back, representing her and David and their three sons Brooklyn, 10, Romeo, six, and four-year-old Cruz.
David, 34, has revealed his children want to follow in his footsteps by getting inkings of their own.
He said: "One of them said to me recently, 'How old do I have to be before I get my first tattoo?' I was like, 'A lot older than you are now!' "
