After India won the 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup, captain Harmanpreet Kaur had the trophy, the year and the number 52 tattooed on her upper left arm. She described the moment as “forever etched in my skin and my heart.”
Kaur shared the finished tattoo online. Aliens Tattoo’s session photos and coverage from Hindustan Times, India Today, ABP Live and Rediff show the stencil, the work in progress and the final design.
A victory carried into daily life
In her caption, Kaur said she had waited for this moment since day one and would see the tattoo each morning with gratitude.
India beat South Africa by 52 runs in the final at Navi Mumbai. Hindustan Times reported that Kaur and Smriti Mandhana visited Aliens Tattoo in the early hours after the celebrations. The studio described the appointment as an immediate response to the win.
The trophy outline on the upper left arm
A fine-line World Cup trophy sits on Kaur’s upper left arm inside an angular frame. Its rounded top and stacked base remain recognizable among the surrounding geometric lines.
The design runs vertically between her shoulder and elbow. Open skin around the outer lines keeps the trophy and frame distinct in close-up photographs.
The numbers 2025 and 52
The numbers identify the occasion: 2025 is the year of the tournament, and 52 records India’s winning margin over South Africa. Hindustan Times and ABP Live also connect 52 with the long wait for the title.
Geometric framing around the tattoo
Triangles, angled bands and long rays surround the cup. The trophy has the darkest, most concentrated lines; the frame and rays spread outward with lighter strokes. The tattoo’s structure is visible in the photographs, but the reports don’t assign separate symbolism to each line.
The design during the tattoo session
Aliens Tattoo’s session photos show a gloved hand and machine working over the design, followed by a stencil aligned on Kaur’s arm. The stencil places 52 above the cup and 2025 below it, matching the finished tattoo. The images document how the design was laid out and applied.
Portrait context after the championship
One portrait pairs Kaur in India’s blue kit, holding the World Cup, with a close view of the tattoo on her arm. The drawn trophy and the physical cup appear side by side.
A separate portrait shows Kaur’s face as she holds the cup against a civic backdrop. The short-sleeved kit leaves the tattoo visible on her arm, apart from the shirt’s printed emblems.
What the documented photographs establish
The photographs establish the trophy, numbers, framing and upper-arm placement. Kaur’s caption supplies the personal meaning; the images show the design without adding symbolism beyond what she and the studio have said.
