The Rock Shows Off The Finished Version Of His New Brahma Bull Tattoo

The Rock’s iconic Brahma Bull tattoo has been going through changes over the past few months, as The Great One made a huge change when he updated it. You can check the big changes that were made in the 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

But after 30 hours and 4 sessions, the tattoo is now complete, and The Rock is showing it off. He posted the following on Instagram:

“After approximately 30 hours of tattooing (4 sessions) with my good bud and iconic artist @nikkohurtado, the story of my skull is complete.
Flow of positive energy is constant thru the breathe of life.
Horns always positioned forward. Not up, but forward – representing forward progress and always at the ready to dig in and dig deep.
Eye is the mana – the spirit and the power. It’s everything. It’s where I draw my strength from all things I love and protect.
As with my Polynesian tattoo on the left side of body, the symbolic mana lays over my heart.
We all have mana. Our strength. You just have to find it. ”
