The Brahma Bull tattoo symbolizes Dwayne’s astrological sign which is the
Taurus. This was Dwayne’s 1st tattoo and became a nickname for him when he was
in the WWE. Dwayne himself also has a love for bulls.

In 2003, The Rock traveled to Hawaii to have his family history tattooed on he–a
Samoan tradition. His tattoo was designed by Po’oino Yrondi – a well known
Tahitian tattooist. Here for the first time, he reveals his tattoo and the
meanings behind it.
A These are coconut leaves, or niu, which denote a Samoan
chief-warrior.
B This is l?–the sun which brings good
fortune.
C This is agia fa’atasi (three people in one).”That’s me with my arms open. As it continues on my chest, it connects to my
o lo’u to’a/ua (my wife, Dany) and my o lo’u afafine (my daughter,
Simone Alexandra).”
D These descending swirls represent past, present and future, with
the future becoming ever bigger. The pattern continues under my arm, where its
meaning is written: “It changes in the place where it is found to be gone.”
E These two eyes, called o mata e lua, represent my
ancestors watching over my path.
F This is the Great Eye, It’s an intimidating symbol that allows
its user to possess the spirit of his enemy. The eye is used to distract the
enemy in a confrontation.
G This broken face, marked by shark teeth?a symbol of strength?is
my spirit protector and a symbol of my struggle.
H This is the priest and spiritual guide, who raises a warrior to
enlightenment and supernatural power under the eyes of the warrior’s ancestors.
I These are stones of achievement and abundance. They’re the
foundation of my life and symbols of my dedication. They bring the right to
stand and speak with honor as a Tula Fale?a high “talking chief”–and
they maintain mana, or supernatural power.
J This is a tortoise shell, to deflect evil spirits. Warriors used
shells as shields.
