Brock Lesnar has been one of the most dominating figures in the history of professional wrestling as well as in combat sports. He is often dubbed as a hybrid athlete who had the rarest accolade to be the champion in both of these professional sporting genres. This obviously grabs millions of fans for him around the world.
The alpha male of the WWE roster has also been known for his tattoos, which have also become a part of his entire branding. Brock Lesnar previously revealed the significance of the tattoos on his chest and back and it appears that he’s done those two not just for showing off.

Unlike today’s wrestlers, Brock Lesnar doesn’t have his hands covered in tattoos. The sword tattoo on his chest is the standout one that covers the area from above his navel to his throat. The noticeable ink also makes him an intimidating figure while being on TV.
The Beast remembered that the tattoo was motivated by the no-compete contract clause in his WWE contract back in 2005, which prevented him from competing in New Japan Pro-Wrestling after leaving Vince McMahon’s company in 2022.

Brock Lesnar talked about his tattoos in his autobiography
In his 2011 autobiography “Death Clutch: My Story of Determination, Domination, and Survival,” Brock Lesnar went into detail about why he got that sword on his chest with the following comments,
“I felt like life was holding a sword right up against my throat, so I went under the ink gun because I never wanted to forget exactly how I felt at that time. The tattoo on my chest has so much meaning to me. In some ways, it’s funny, because the period of my life that I’m talking about is a time I so want to forget, but I know I can use this memory as motivation.”
As revealed by the WWE Superstar himself, Brock Lesnar placed a significant amount of importance on this ink. He’s been a part of the NFL, UFC, and WWE and excelled in all of those. However, his time in WWE can be considered as a standout as he’s been a ten-time world champion in the promotion. He’s also a two-time Royal Rumble match and Money in the Bank match winner in his illustrious career in the company.
