You wish you could be this cool.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has always been a badass. From his humble beginning as one of the greatest WWE wrestlers of all time to becoming the highest paid movie star in the world, he's done it all--and he's always done it in style.

As his career has gone through a major change over the years, so has his attitude ... and his tattoos.

As sad and sentimental as this may be to some life-long fans, The Rock has gotten rid of his signature Brahma Bull tattoo -- a symbol of his WWE champ reign -- but has replaced it in the coolest way possible.

Now, THAT'S what we call a transformation.

According to the post he shared on Instagram, Johnson says the evolution of the tattoo is a reflection of his "own personal history," and explains what every part of this new, souped-up bull means to him. Not to mention it also took 22 hours to create, and it's not even done yet!

"Cheers to living, learning, evolving and growing," he writes. "And to the positive disrupters ready to dent the universe."

Could anything be more symbolic of The Rock's epic career than the evolution of this giant tattoo? Didn't think so.
