Kohli’s tattoos symbolize the butterfly effect and there a story behind the timing of each and every tattoo. It is about his psychology more than anything – constant obsession with perfection, in search of clarity. He used the tattoos to instigate new beliefs in his system which has helped him with his obsession to be the greatest that ever was.

This was the first tattoo that Virat Kohli got inked on his body. Honestly, he recalled that he did not have a fair idea of what he was doing at that time as he got it because it would look ‘cool’ on his as a teenager. But, it holds a great significance as it keeps him grounded as it regularly reminds him of where he started and how far he has come now.

Recalling the same, he said, “To be very honest, when I was young it was about being a little cool when I started to get inked but slowly I realized that this is something that gives me a sense of my own identity. And from getting a random tribal design, to getting Shiva on my forearm now, it is a reflection of how my life has gone where it stands today and what I think and see of life back then to now.”
