If you are a tattoo artist, you gotta love (and hate) the guys like Dwayne. Why? Well, the fact is that this man has the biggest biceps out there which instantly means a great canvas for your art, but also a big one as well. It is never going to be a quick and easy job, but in the end, it always looks awesome.
The latest tattoo that Dwayne got made him play a big canvas for almost 30 hours, and now this WWE star turned actor decided to share the end product with all of us. If you recall, Dwayne had a very modest (early) tattoo where the new one is now, and this latest masterpiece is definitely awesome, and it is something that you wouldn’t want to run into your bad dreams and dark corridors. The former bull’s head is now covered up by a much larger, much more terrifying image of the animal’s skull. As we already mentioned, Dwayne had to spend a total of 30 hours in the chair, and it was done in four sessions, but if you ask us, it was all worth it. Thanks to Dwayne’s Instagram account we all see it clearly now.
Beneath the Instagram image Johnson wrote “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 (sic) the breathe (sic) 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.”
We also did another report on this earlier, but it was back when the tattoo was in progress, and it was a before-and-after image where everyone saw the transformation that somehow resembled the one where a simple worm turns into a beautiful butterfly. Check it out below!
This image of before-and-after was posted sometime in August, and it was captioned “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.”
