Bhamaa, born Rekhitha Kurup, is a versatile actress known for her work in Malayalam and Kannada cinema. With her captivating debut performance in Nivedyam and charming demeanour, she has carved a niche for herself in the Indian film industry. Bhamaa's journey in the world of entertainment is marked by her dedication, talent, and resilience, which have earned her a special place in the hearts of audiences.


Recently, Bhamaa decided to get a memento celebrating her strength at the Aliens Tattoo studio in Kochi, seeking to immortalise her strength and resilience in the form of a tattoo. She chose to adorn her arm with a realistic black and gray face tattoo of a lion, a majestic creature symbolising courage, power, and ferocity. This choice reflects Bhamaa's own spirit and fearlessness in the face of challenges.


At Aliens Tattoo, known for its realistic animal tattoo designs, Bhamaa's artistic vision found its match in the skilled hands of tattoo artist Augustin Chinappal, renowned for his realistic tattoo designs. As Bhamaa settled into the studio chair, Augustine meticulously crafted each stroke, bringing the lion to life on Bhamaa's arm with detail and precision.



The tattoo itself serves as more than just a work of art, it embodies a deeper meaning intertwined with Bhamaa's personal journey in the film industry. In an industry often fraught with obstacles and stereotypes, Bhamaa has stood tall, breaking barriers and challenging conventions with her talent and determination. The lion tattoo serves as a symbol of her unwavering strength, reminding her of the courage and resilience needed to thrive in the competitive realm of cinema.


Lions are often associated with leadership, courage, and the ability to overcome adversity which are qualities that resonate deeply with Bhamaa's own journey as a woman in the film industry. Through her roles on-screen and her off-screen persona, Bhamaa has inspired countless women to embrace their inner strength and pursue their dreams fearlessly.


As the tattooing process unfolded, Bhamaa reflected on her evolution as an actress and as a woman. The needle pricks served as a reminder of the challenges she overcame and the victories she has achieved.


In a world where women's voices are often silenced or overlooked, Bhamaa's lion tattoo stands as a testament to the power and resilience of women everywhere. It is a declaration of strength, courage, and unwavering determination, qualities that define Bhamaa both on and off the screen.
