Mumbai Indians (MI) and Team India’s star cricketer Suryakumar Yadav recently shared insights about his tattoos in an interview with Jio Cinema. He discussed the different types of tattoos, their significance, and the factors that influenced his decision to get them. Suryakumar disclosed that his first tattoo was dedicated to his parents, and their approval allowed him to pursue more tattoos. “I have a tattoo of my mom and dad’s names. This was my first tattoo so I could get permission for the rest,” he explained.
When asked about the evil eye tattoo on his hand, Suryakumar revealed that his wife suggested it because she believed in “mujhko nazar jaldi lagta hai” (I am easily affected by the evil eye). He expressed his admiration for wife Devisha Shetty and ment🌱ioned having ano🦩ther tattoo dedicated to her.
“I have a tattoo dedicated to my wife as well, which is close to my heart.”
Suryakumar identified his fav🔴ourite tattoo as a portrait of his parents on his shoulder, which is around 4-5 years old. He also has a lion tattoo on his arm, describing it as a calm represe🐠ntation of himself.
“I have a portrait of my mom and dad on my shoulder, it is 4-5 years old. It is my favourite. This is a calm lion. I am also a calm lion (referring to the tattoo on his arm),” the Mumbaikar added.
Furthermore, he has arrows tattooed on his upper arm, symbolizing that setbacks in life prop🥀el indiꦬviduals forward. In a lighthearted remark, he humorously associated them with his three ducks against Australia.
Another tattoo on his foot signifies the idea of taking things “one step at a time.” Suryakumar also shared the story behind a unique tattoo on his upper arm, inspired by New Zealand’s Maori tribe.
“When I was on tour to NZ, I got aware of this design of the Maori tribe. I met a person who told me that this design brings one luck and love and keeps you calm,” said the right-handed batter.
During th𒉰e interview, Suryakumar revealed his openness to getting more tattoos.
“The next tattoo is all my three cap numbers (of Test, ODIs and T20Is), my wife used to tell me to wait for my Test cap and get this one after that.”
Reflecting on his craziest fan enc♕ounter, Suryakumar recalled meeting a dedicated supporter in🥂 Chennai who had his face tattooed on the forearm.
“In Chennai, I met a fan during ODIs who had my face tattooed on his forearm and had written 360-degree on it. He comes to watch my matches every time,” concluded the 32-year-old.
