Virat Kohli adds new tattoo to his collection, images go viral Virat Kohli has added a new tattoo to his left arm, with the images quickly going viral online. Kohli had started adding a new sleeve of tattoos on his left-arm and the new one is a part of it. Virat Kohli's exploits with the bat and his unmistakable style have made him one of cricket's most recognisable figures, but his collection of tattoos has also long been a part of his public persona. The former India captain has now added another striking piece of body art to his collection. Photos circulating on social media show Kohli with a new tattoo on his left arm. The artwork, located around his left bicep among his existing tattoos, appears to depict ripples spreading across a water surface after a single drop falls into it. Images of the tattoo were posted by the Instagram account 'Allan F Gois' and quickly caught the attention of fans online. According to the post accompanying the pictures, the work has taken five sessions so far and is still being completed. The latest addition is part of a larger effort to reimagine Kohli's left-arm tattoos. Before the start of IPL 2026, it was revealed that rather than covering up or removing the artwork he already had, he had an idea to start a project to restore and refine the existing designs while bringing them together as part of one unified sleeve that reflects his present-day journey. The transformation began with a redesign of his Shiva-inspired armband, with the tattoo being given greater detail and definition. The artwork then flows into an intricate dotwork mandala, which serves as a focal point while connecting the different elements across the arm. The overall design is said to represent ideas of balance, focus and inner harmony. Higher up the arm, motifs including a lotus and peony have also been incorporated, imagery commonly linked with perseverance and personal growth. However, the deeper significance of the individual elements has deliberately been kept private, leaving fans to admire the artwork without knowing the complete story behind it.
