Former captain of the Indian national cricket team, Virat Kohli has many tattoos on his arms, including his parents’ names, his zodiac sign, his ODI cap number, and many more. And now, there seems to be a new addition on his left arm — one which reflects “his spirituality; something that would represent the interconnectedness of all things and the source of creation itself, something which depicts higher ones and oneness, the structure of life, the source of all.”

Giving a glimpse of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) player’s new tattoo and the pressure of creating a design for “one and only Virat Kohli“, Sunny Bhanushali, founder and owner of Aliens Tattoo wrote on his blog: “He wanted to cover up his old tattoo with a new one. As I got to work on the project, I felt the pressure and excitement building up inside me. I couldn’t believe that I was working with the one and only Virat Kohli. I could feel the energy and passion that Virat brought to the project. It was clear to me that this tattoo meant a lot to him, and he was determined to get it just right. I poured my heart and soul into the design, meticulously crafting each element to perfection.”

Revealing more, the artist shared that Virat felt a “deep sense of connection to his design. He knew that this tattoo would not only be a beautiful work of art but also a powerful reminder of his spiritual journey.”

Sharing that the tattoo — created by Devendra Palav, who excels in geometric and dotwork style — was created over two sessions that lasted more than 12 hours, Bhanushali added: “The design, carefully crafted over several days, was finally complete. Virat was thrilled with the result. Each element of the design holds a strong spiritual significance. The metatron cube is believed to be a sacred geometric symbol that contains all the shapes and patterns in the universe. The septagon represents perfection, harmony, and balance. The geometrical flower symbolizes the interconnectedness of all things, and the cubic pattern is a symbol of stability and structure. All of these elements come together in a beautiful and intricate design that is meant to inspire a sense of unity and connectedness with the universe. It is a powerful reminder that we are all part of something greater than ourselves and that we are all connected in a profound way”.

According to the blog, the first session was scheduled for the Mumbai studio, where the cricketer spent six hours getting his tattoo done, and the second consecutive session was in Bangalore and took eight hours. “Overall the session lasted for over 12 hours, and Virat was so immersed in the process that he lost track of time both the days,” the artist shared.

On working with Virat, he shared that on the day of the tattoo session. there was a palpable sense of excitement in the studio. “As the hours ticked by, Virat was completely immersed in the process of getting his tattoo. He marvelled at the intricate dotwork style and the way that each element of the design came together to create something truly magical… Despite the long hours and the physical discomfort that comes with getting a tattoo, Virat never once complained or showed any signs of fatigue. His dedication to the project was unwavering, and it was clear that this tattoo meant the world to him,” he wrote.
