Arjun Kapoor has just got his new and the second tattoo inked on his arm. The 'India's Most Wanted' actor flaunts his 'Per Ardua Ad Astra' tattoo as the actor is on personal high having crossed through adversity and reaching the stars. Arjun shared a photograph and a video of his tattoo on social media just a while ago along with the caption that reads: "Per Ardua Ad Astra - From adversity to the stars. Finally got my second tattoo." In another Instagram post, Arjun shared the video of how the tattoo came into being and explaining what it means. His message reads - "Per Ardua Ad Astra. Yes that’s my second tattoo and it means : From adversity to the stars.  I’d been wanting to get another tattoo for a long time.. This one took a while to figure because honestly it had to mean something very special.. And after a lot of back & forth and thinking and over thinking, I finally got this done!

The tattoo in Latin was inked on the 34-year-old actor by Savio D'Silva, an illustrator and animator from JJ College of Art.




"Per ardua ad astra" is a Latin phrase meaning "through adversity to the stars" or "through struggle to the stars" that is the official motto of the Royal Air Force and other Commonwealth air forces such as the Royal Australian Air Force and Royal New Zealand Air Force, as well as the Royal Indian Air Force until 1947.
