The Rock is one of the most iconic WWE Superstars of all time, and over the years his tattoos have become just as iconic as he is. Rock is known for his Brahma Bull tattoo on his right arm, and he’s made the Brahma Bull tattoo famous. But it looks like fans will soon be seeing an evolution of The Rock’s iconic Brahma Bull tattoo, as the former WWE Champion recently took to Instagram to tell fans that he’s updating the tattoo.
The Rock posted the following:
“Evolution of the bull begins w/ @nikkohurtado. I’ve engrained this bull in my DNA for two decades. My core. Humbly, it’s also become a symbol of strength, resilience, heart, power and defiance to so many people around the world. I got this tattoo when I was just a kid. Now I need it to reflect me as a man. All my ink is a rite of passage and spiritual and the MANA (power and spirit) has to be right before we begin. Mana is strong with world renowned Nikko. We talked for hours about the man I am today, compared to who I once was. And who I’ll always be. We all desire to grow and evolve. The mana is right.. let the blood and pain begin.”
The Rock also shared a video as he was preparing for the work to be done, but unfortunately it doesn’t show the finished tattoo.

However, it appears that The Rock may be messing with time here, as the video above was posted on Tuesday, but The Rock also posted a video six days ago which clearly shows some new ink on his right arm. In the video Rock keeps his arm just out of view so fans can’t see the whole tattoo.

The Brahma Bull has been a big part of The Rock’s career, but it appears that he’s waiting for the right time to show the evolution of the tattoo to the world.
When will he reveal the updated tattoo? That remains to be seen, but it’s The Rock, so whenever the reveal happens it’s probably going to be electrifying.

[…] Rock recently shared a video on Instagram explaining that he was updating the tattoo, and to say that he made a big change to the ink would be a dramatic understatement. For a fan who’s been with The Rock since the beginning, the drastic change is kind of a shock, but of course it makes a little more sense when the former WWE World Champion explains why he made the change.
