The World Reacts to The Rock's New Tattoo

08/31/2017 03:49 pm EDT

The Rock shook the world to its core earlier today when he posted an Instagram photo showing off his new tattoo. It's not so much about his new ink as what it replaced. The Rock covered up his version of Jordan "Jumpman," the Brahma Bull, with a dramatic portrait of some kind of skeleton beast.

As expected the reactions were abundant. They ranged from supportive to utter despair. Who knew a drawing on human skin could cause such excitement?

It seems most feel threatened by Rock's lack of concern for nostalgia. Perhaps what we've learned via Rock's need for "evolution" is that most folks don't like change - even if it doesn't happen to them personally.
