Kannur Lokesh Rahul, commonly known as KL Rahul, has earned a massive fan following in a short span of time with his brilliant cricketing skills. Rahul is the vice-captain of the Indian Cricket Team. In 2019, Rahul, along with Hardik Pandya, was suspended by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) due to their controversial comments on the famous Indian talk show Koffee with Karan.

But, the suspension was lifted within 15 days, on 24 January 2019. Just like many athletes, Rahul is also a huge fan of getting body inks, and his body is a big masterpiece of the same. He said that he has, in turn, drawn inspiration from Kholi’s style statements. Let us explore his tattoos and their meanings.

1. ‘1’ Tattoo

Tattoo: On his left hand’s index finer, Rahul has got the tattoo of the letter ‘1’ inked in bold.
Meaning: The number tattoo is Rahul’s dedication of love and respect to his jersey number currently as he plays for the Indian Cricket team.

2. All-seeing Eye Tattoo

Tattoo: On Rahul’s left bicep, we can see an elaborate design of ‘all-seeing eye’ inked.
Meaning: In an interview, Rahul claimed that he shared a very close bond with his grandparents, and this tattoo is dedicated to them. The tattoo reminds him that his grandparents are watching and continuously keeping an eye on him.
The All-seeing eye is also known by another name, ‘eye of God’, and thus, represents the fact that God is one and is above us all. Not to forget that he is watching us and our actions keenly, and hereby, we should be cautious of our deeds.

3. ‘Anchor’ Tattoo

Tattoo: On the lower right inner side of his right leg, KJ Rahul has an anchor tattoo.

Meaning: Anchor has been used for a long time to maintain constant stability for a ship during times of storm. But, with lives becoming complex and full of hard times and troubles, people have started linking anchors with daily turbulent lives. And guess what? Anchor is often adopted as a tattoo choice to remind themselves to be firm, peaceful, patient, quiet, and composed during turbulence. It is also used to determine strength, coincidence, peace, and passion.
