Although Kartik has not given any personal statement on getting the tattoo or what it signifies to him, the moon phase tattoo represents a culmination of aesthetic beauty with profound symbolism. Look closely, and the tattoo features 7 shapes of the moon, from the half moon size to the full moon, inked right in the middle.

Kartik shared the picture with a hilarious caption, “I love my bhatura more than my brothora.”

The tattoo also marks a special tribute to the connection to the cosmos. The research further states, “With their deep symbolic meaning and aesthetic appeal, these tattoos are a perfect choice for anyone looking to honor their connection to the cosmos, the mystery of the night sky, and the guiding light of the moon in their journey through life.”

On the work front, Kartik was last seen in the horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Fans will see him next in Anurag Basu's next, which will also star Sreeleela.
