The Rock's Iconic Brahma Bull Tattoo Is No More

The Rock's Iconic Brahma Bull Tattoo Is No More

What has he done?!

We have no problem with The Rock changing up his look. He's recently been displaying some grey facial hair and it's very different to his usual fresh, clean-shaven face.

But while we can accept the above from The People's Champ, we cannot accept his latest change. That's because the 45-year old's iconic 'Brahma Bull' tattoo is no longer a thing, with Dwayne Johnson covering up his ink with a new larger and more visible tattoo.

He took to Instagram a couple of days back to give a sneak peek of what he is calling 'The Evolution of the Bull', and followed it up today with a comparison of his old and upgraded tats - as well as a lengthy message as to why he has decided to make the change and cover up the Bull that has become synonymous with who he is and what he is about.

As beautiful as Rocky's tattoo looks visually, it wouldn't appear to have the same meaning as his famed Brahma Bull, which led to his subsequent nickname and saw the symbol plastered on all of his merchandise during his run in WWE, and later in his various endorsement deals.

And it's not gone down well with WWE's die-hard fans:

Today is a sad day. RIP Brahma Bull, gone but never forgotten.
