GettyThe Rock is a gentleman of many intricate talents. He’s an absolute monster when pumping iron, he’s a dominant force in the world of wrestling, and a brutish hero in blockbuster hits everywhere.
But besides all of the above and being just an out and out nice guy – The Rock’s infamous Brahma Bull tattoo which has been carved onto his rippling right tricep for god knows how long, wasn’t that impressive.
Until now after 22 hours of painful hardwork under Nikko Hurtado’s inky needle in a tattoo fixing job Dwayne Johnson himself has deemed the ‘evolution of the bull’. It’s hard to disagree.
After posting the comparison image to Instagram, The Rock captioned it with a lengthy and poetic explanation of what the new ink represents.
The post reads:
Every detail is a reflection of my own personal history.
From the cracks and heavy damage in the bone representing life’s hard lessons I’ve learned over the years. Just like scars and wrinkles – I’m so grateful to have ’em because they’re earned.
To the horns, not pointing up or out to the side, but pointing straight ahead representing relentless energy and forward progress.
The core and anchor of this image is in the eye. Look closely and you’ll find the life, energy, power and you’ll feel the MANA (spirit). The eye tells the story of a disruptive positive energy always ready to dent the universe.
Depending on the light and angle, sometimes the energy’s subtle and sometimes it’s glaring. But it’s always alive and ready to disrupt the universe and love and protect my family and all things I love with intense passion and gratitude.
And of course, the message concluded with an incredibly positive line of thanks:
Cheers to living, learning, evolving and growing. And to the positive disrupters ready to dent the universe.
Is there anything The Rock can’t turn brilliant?
