Michael Clarke has expanded his tattoo collection.
The cricketer, 43, took to Instagram to share images of himself getting tattooed at the Body Canvas Tattoo studio in Mumbai by artist Vikas Malani.
Malani previously tattooed the sports star in 2018.
In a clip posted to his stories, the 43-year-old hugged a small puppy after the session and decided to cover up his new ink.
The father-of-one has been collecting tattoos for over a decade and, in 2007, he got his ex-girlfriend Lara Bingle’s initials tattooed on his bicep.

In 2010, shortly after separating from Lara, he had his parents’ names engraved on his torso in Hindi script.
Michael also had the phrase ‘Carpe Diem’ tattooed on his lower left arm in 2016, and had the number 11 tattooed on his hand in 2019 to represent his stellar 11-year cricket career.
It comes after the former cricketer recently responded to speculation that he had used cosmetic injectables after sparking speculation that he uses Botox and filler to maintain his youthful appearance.

The rumors gathered pace in March after cricket appeared in television footage during the Pakistan Super League.
Michael has barely aged a day in the last decade, looking as young at 42 as he did in his early thirties when he was Test cricket captain.
Manse founder Dr Naomi McCullum told Daily Mail Australia that Michael may have undergone several cosmetic procedures, including Botox and filler, and has shiny new white veneers.

“Michael’s eye area is quite different in recent photographs,” said Dr. Naomi Skin founder.
‘Their eyebrows are higher and their upper eyelids are further away from the upper lash line.
‘These things can be due to Botox or surgery or cosmetic treatments combined with aging.
“There appears to be a relocation of fat in your face due to aging.
It comes after the former cricketer recently responded to speculation that he had used cosmetic injectables after sparking speculation that he uses Botox and filler to maintain his youthful appearance.
“Your face appears fuller overall, and this may be due to age-related changes, fillers or weight changes or a combination of these factors.”
Dr. Naomi went on to say that if Michael has indeed received fillers and Botox to maintain his youthful appearance, it could cost him “around $2,000 every three months.”
Michael categorically denied that he used injectables when approached by Daily Mail Australia and said: “That allegation is 100% false.”
