"Cringe for limelight": Netizens slam Arshdeep-Samreen tattoos

The matching tattoos of India pacer Arshdeep Singh and actor-model Samreen Kaur have grabbed the attention of Indian netizens. The couple chose to get each other’s handwriting tattooed on their arms, making the gesture more personal and meaningful.

However, the tattoos did not receive a positive response from everyone. Soon after the tattoo studio shared the behind-the-scenes video on Instagram, several netizens started trolling the couple and questioning their decision.

Some users called the move “cringe” and accused Arshdeep Singh and Samreen Kaur of doing such things for the limelight. Their reactions quickly spread across social media, adding another talking point around the couple’s relationship.

Arshdeep Singh and Samreen Kaur's matching tattoos go viral online

Arshdeep Singh and Samreen Kaur’s matching tattoos have gone viral online, with fans taking notice of the personal touch behind them. The couple chose to get each other’s initials tattooed in their partner’s handwriting.

Arshdeep has an “SK” tattoo on his upper arm, written in Samreen’s handwriting. Meanwhile, Samreen has an “AS” tattooed on her arm in Arshdeep’s handwriting. Both tattoos also feature a tiny red heart drawn in one continuous line.

The couple’s tattoo choices have made the gesture even more special. Samreen also got a birth-flower tattoo during the same visit, adding another personal touch to her new ink.

What the tattoos say and when the couple got them done

What makes the tattoos more personal is that they keep the natural style of the couple’s handwriting. The small imperfections and individual slant have been preserved instead of using a standard font or design.

The tattoos were done at Aliens Tattoo in Bengaluru, which shared behind-the-scenes pictures from the couple’s visit on Instagram. Samreen also got a birth-flower tattoo during the same session.

According to Aliens Tattoo, designer Abhishek Gawai helped create the final concept, while tattoo artist Sunny Sen turned their handwritten initials into fine-line tattoos. The design was kept close to their original handwriting to give it a personal touch.

Rumours about Arshdeep and Samreen’s relationship first surfaced during IPL 2026. The speculation grew after they were spotted together at Punjab Kings matches and later in Dharamsala. Arshdeep eventually confirmed their relationship through an Instagram post, introducing Samreen to his followers as “my person.”

Netizens slam the move as 'cringe,' question the timing amid IPL scrutiny

Several users called the move “cringe” and suggested that the couple was doing such things for attention and limelight. Their comments soon started circulating on social media. Here is how the fans reacted :

The timing of the tattoos also became a talking point among fans. With Arshdeep already under the spotlight due to his cricket career and IPL appearances, some netizens questioned why the couple chose to make such a personal gesture public.
