Virat Kohli continues to add more tattoos on his arm right before the tournament commences. A few days back, fans already saw the new additions of the tattoo on his arm. But King Kohli may not have been satisfied with the same, as he decided to add another full sleeve tattoo on his left arm.

He had the new viral tattoo made by Alien Tattoos India, which has added new symbols of spirituality and personality. His Shiva inspired armband had faded, as Kohli decided to restore the same, which serves as a foundation of his new sleeve. Kohli also added a large mandala on his sleeve, as it symbolises balance, discipline and inner alignment.

Among his new tattoos, one can also notice the Lotus and Peony, which shows resilience and growth. While Kohli was showing his new tattoos in the images, fans even noticed his biceps, highlighting his fitness in the same.
