The Rock’s Brahma Bull tattoo is one of the most iconic tattoos in the history of professional wrestling, but the tattoo underwent a huge change a few months ago. The former WWE World Champion updated the ink in a big way, and you can check out some before and after photos below.

Evolution of the bull. Blood, sweat & years. After 3 sessions and 22hrs of tattooing with world renowned @NikkoHurtado, the story's almost done.. 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. Cheers to living, learning, evolving and growing. And to the positive disrupters ready to dent the universe. #EvolutionOfTheBull #TheDisrupter #TheMana #NowLetsBreakOutTheTequila

That’s a pretty drastic change right? Well it turns out that the update isn’t done yet, and The Great One recently had a little more work done on the tattoo.

The Rock shared a new video explaining that he’s having some work done on the horns, and he noted that the pain was just part of the progress.

“Horns meet bone, progress meets pain.
My tattoo’s mana (power & spirit) acts as endorphins which interact with the opiate receptors in the brain to reduce our perception of pain.
My tattoo artist @nikkohurtado thinks I need therapy.
Pain is my therapy.
