Roman Reigns has a big name in WWE. After 2020, he did tremendous work as a heel. He held the championship for 1,316 days and defeated several veterans along the way. Today, he is a globally recognized superstar. Reigns has worked not only on his character but also continuously on his physique. His body has become much stronger compared to before.
Roman Reigns is also known for his impressive collection of tattoos, which he proudly displays. Like The Usos, Reigns also has tattoos that hold deep personal and cultural significance, as they represent the Anoa’i family. Here’s a detailed look at his tattoos and their meanings.
What Does Roman Reigns’ Tattoo Mean?
You may have noticed that Roman Reigns has a beautiful tattoo on his right shoulder and arm. He got his first tattoo – a Samoan tribal art design – on his right shoulder. Over the years, he has extended it, and now it spreads across his right arm and pectoral area.
The Samoan tribal art is a traditional tattoo that reflects his heritage and legacy. In Samoan culture, each tattoo tells a story or represents an important event, and people often get them at a young age.
Reigns’ tribal tattoo extends to his chest and is a form of ancestral art. Other members of the Anoa’i family, including The Rock, Jey Uso, and Jimmy Uso, also have similar Samoan tattoos.
In addition to the Samoan tattoos, Roman Reigns has a Polynesian turtle and a flower tattooed on his right wrist. This tattoo symbolizes his deep bond with his daughter JoJo. Reigns revealed this in an interview a few years ago. It reportedly took about 17 hours to complete the tattoo on his right arm.
Roman Reigns’ Defeat at WWE WrestleMania 41
WrestleMania 41 wasn’t particularly special for Roman Reigns. In the main event of Night 1, he faced CM Punk and Seth Rollins in a triple-threat match. While the match was intense and exciting, things took a dramatic turn when Paul Heyman betrayed both Punk and Reigns, siding with Rollins instead. Because of Heyman’s interference, Seth Rollins won the match.
This marked Roman Reigns’ 10th appearance in a WrestleMania main event – a record that highlights his incredible legacy in WWE.
