His solid performance on the field this year, entry into the Delhi Capitals for a cool 14 crores, and becoming a father to a baby girl, KL Rahul is back in the news, and how! The right-handed wicket-keeper seems to be in form again and is hitting the headlines often, whether for his matches or his fatherhood anecdotes, or his tattoos. The cricket star has as many as 9 tattoos at the moment, and you might like to have any KL Rahul tattoo on yourself too, whether or not you are his fan.
Lighthouse Tattoo
This tattoo is a lovely throwback to the wonderful lighthouse that stood at one point of time near his beach front home in Mangalore. Rahul still remembers it with fondness and it is a reminder of his idyllic youthful days. He has an image of the same lighthouse tattooed on his left forearm. It is always going to bring to his mind those days of innocence and bliss.
Clock Tattoo
Born at 11 o'clock, Rahul has loved to tattoo himself with a clock positioned at that specific moment. The image is on the inside of his left bicep. But there is not only the clock. Under that image, you can find the Latin word "Veni, vidi, vici" written clearly. This KL Rahul tattoo meaning is that he plans to use his willow to dominate the world and the hearts of his fans.
‘Deshi Basara’ Tattoo
This tattoo is based on “The Dark Knight Rises”, the DC superhero movie of 2012 that concluded the Christopher Nolan-directed Batman trilogy. KL Rahul is a Batman fan, and it is obvious that he got this tattoo to remind himself to rise because the word "Deshi Basara" means "to rise up". He has the word tattooed on his right forearm.
‘284’ & ‘11’ Tattoos
Rahul also has the right side of his body tattooed with the Roman numerals "284" and "11". These numerals stand for his test cap number. The significance of these numbers is quite apparent. Rahul was chosen as the 284th test cricketer to play for India. The tattoo of the number XI indicates the number of the jersey that he wore when he was chosen to play for the country initially. He has this tattoo on his left bicep.
Key Tattoo
A key with ram horns is reflective of his star sign of Aries. You can get a similar design at any of the top tattoo parlors in Salt Lake.
Parents’ Names Tattoos
This has a fun twist to it. Given that his parents were averse to his idea of getting tattooed, he probably tried to appease them with their names etched on himself. That is also very sweet of Rahul, for sure. His parents’ names are now tattooed on his wrists. The tattoos read "Rajeshwari" and "Lokesh," and are etched on his left wrist and right wrist, respectively.
Owl Tattoo
It is another work of art that finds pride of place on his left hand. This KL Rahul tattoo on his hand reminds him to be just as wise and understanding in life.
Simba Tattoo
It is not about the Rohit Shetty actioner but Rahul’s dog, whom he loves dearly. One can often find him posting his own photos with his dog on his social media platforms. While on the Sri Lanka tour in 2017, he chose to get a tattoo of his favorite dog etched on his back.
Eye Tattoo
The image of an open eye on his left bicep means his grandparents are always watching over him.
It is a clear indication that Rahul loves his tattoos. He believes that his time has already begun, and so do we. You can go to any of the best tattoo parlors in Salt Lake to get one of these.
