Hardik Pandya Gets Girlfriend Mahieka Sharma’s Initial Tattooed

Hardik Pandya, an Indian cricketer, has made Valentine's Day extra special for his ladylove Mahieka Sharma. He inscribed his girlfriend's initials 'M' on the back of his neck. Celebrity tattoo artist Sunny Bhanushali created the artwork at Aliens Tattoo, which was done by main artist Tushar Marane. It offers a very personal tale about love, identity, and arelationship with Mahieka.

According to the crew, Pandya first desired a discreet memorial to Mahieka, something important yet personal. However, when they discussed their connection and what they meant to each other, the notion organically evolved into something considerably more complex.

The final artwork depicts two leopards, not just as an animal theme, but also as a symbol of their relationship. One leopard is bold and lifelike, representing evident power, determination, and ambition. The second leopard is created with fluid linework, gliding like a shadow around the first and softly forming the letter "M," Mahieka's initial.

Speaking about the process, Sunny Bhanushali, Founder, Aliens Tattoo, said: Sunny Bhanushali, Founder, Aliens Tattoo “Hardik came with the idea of an initial, but conversations revealed something much deeper. They described themselves as partners who amplify each other’s strength. The leopard became the perfect metaphor, powerful alone, unstoppable together. This tattoo is not decoration; it’s a story permanently carried. Some tattoos are requested, some are discovered, this piece was built through trust and emotion. When a tattoo reflects a real story, it stops being ink and becomes memory."
