In the world of cricket, Krunal Pandya stands out not only for his exceptional talent but also for his intriguing sleeve tattoo, which has recently garnered widespread attention. Created at Aliens Tattoo Mumbai, this artwork is far more than mere ink on skin, it's an expression of Krunal's innermost beliefs and values. At the heart lies an intimidating three-headed geometric cosmic being, adorned with stars and planets, symbolising the subconscious mind. Delving deeper into the layers of this intricate artwork unveils a deep meaning, woven from Krunal's life experiences and core principles.
When Krunal approached the artists at Aliens Tattoo studio, he brought with him a set of ideas that encapsulated his essence: honesty, karma, hard-work, courage, the subconscious, faith, perseverance, time, and cricket. These words weren't chosen at random, they are the pillars on which Krunal's life and career are built, guiding his actions both on and off the cricket field.
Central to the sleeve tattoo is the three-headed cosmic being, a representation of the subconscious mind. Each head signifies a different aspect of Krunal's mind, the past, the present, and the future. This celestial entity serves as a reminder of the profound influence of the subconscious in shaping his thoughts, decisions, and ultimately, his reactions on the field.Â
Complementing the cosmic being designed by Sameer Qureshi and inked by Sunny Bhanushali are two additional wildlife tattoo creations etched onto Krunal's forearm, a horse and an eagle. Executed with precision by the skilled hands of Allan Gois and Sunny Bhanushali respectively , these animals hold deep significance in Krnal's journey. The horse symbolises freedom and power, encouraging Krunal to charge forward fearlessly towards his goals, while the eagle. At the same time, symbolises vision and clarity, guiding him to soar above challenges with absolute focus.
Notably, Krunal's brother and fellow cricketer, Hardik Pandya, shares a similar passion for tattoos, sporting an eagle of his own. This shared affinity for body art not only strengthens the bond between the Pandya brothers but also serves as a testament to their shared values and experiences both on and off the field.
As he continues to navigate the complexities of professional cricket, these tattoos will remain constant companions, guiding him through the highs and lows of his career with unwavering resolve.
Beyond their aesthetic appeal, Krunal's tattoos invite us to contemplate the mysteries of our own mind fearlesspower of self-expression. They challenge us to look beyond the surface and explore the values which define us.
