3rd Novermber, 2025 – When India lifted the ICC Women’s World Cup, the country saw a captain whose composure never blinked
What most didn’t see was the private vow she carried into every game — a tattoo that turned belief into something she could hold.
Long before the win, Harmanpreet Kaur chose to wear her conviction, grit, perseverance and belief on her skin. At Aliens Tattoo, she asked for a piece that would keep her centered when the noise rose. The result was a geometric mandala inspired by Aham Brahmasmi — “I am the universe,” a philosophy of ownership and alignment. Designed by Sunny Bhanushali & Sameer Kureshi with the Aliens team, and inked by Vishal Maurya, the piece was built to mirror how she leads: created with care, balanced with purpose, made to last.
Every element carries work, not ornament:
The Sun & Rays — clarity in pressure; the light she generates, not the light she seeks.
Celtic Knot — the bond that steadied her from the start; the foundation beneath the rise.
Brahma Yantra — creator energy; moments are made, not awaited.
Eight-Petal Lotus & Six-Pointed Star — grace through intensity, strength held with humility.
This piece carried what defined her and her success. Through training blocks, lean patches, and high-stakes nights, the tattoo functioned as a quiet compass — a reminder of what to return to when everything else tries to pull you away.
Sunny Bhanushali, Founder, Aliens Tattoo:
“We realised that we are dealing with a larger than life resolve here; we were giving form to her conviction.”
In private conversation at the studio, Harmanpreet framed it simply:
“We are the world champions — it’s just a matter of time. You’ll see”
The World Cup indeed became the payoff everyone could see.
As India celebrates, this moment stands for more than a result. It reflects an athlete who leads from alignment — and a growing movement of sportspersons choosing story over spectacle, substance over noise. For Aliens Tattoo, being part of that translation — turning human intent into enduring art — is the work that matters.
