Dwayne Johnson traveled a long way from being a face that failed to connect with the fans back in WWF to getting them to cheer for himself despite trashing the crowd to becoming a Hollywood giant. Nothing reflects the WWE Superstar’s transformation over the years better than the tattoos inked on his body, with each one carrying some cultural significance or deeper meaning, especially one.
But among the several tattoos, ranging from The sun near his neck to the Coconut leaves tattoo, his most iconic one, the Brahman bull like the actor, has undergone its own transformation.

The Brahma Bull’s Real Meaning Explained by Dwayne Johnson
One of Dwayne Johnson’s earlier tattoos involves the Bull, which resonates with his Wrestling alliance, the Brahma Bull. Initially carved into his shoulder in his teenage days, the tattoo became as iconic as the wrestler itself back in the Attitude Era. But since moving on from his wrestling roots for his Hollywood career, the bull has also transformed into its bigger form, positioned in his right upper bicep. The new distinctive half-sleeve bull tattoo, which took a whopping 4 years, spanning over 20 hours, concluded in 2021 and concealed the smaller Brahma Bull.
Back in 2017, while kickstarting the meticulous process, Johnson said (viaInstagram),
“Evolution of the bull begins. 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.”
Symbolizing strength, resilience, and defiance, the Bull also has a far deeper meaning linked to it, as theBlack AdamStar explained it reflected his growth as a man.
