Roman Reigns is undoubtedly the biggest superstar in WWE at the moment. He has been reigning as a champion for over 1200 days and leads one of the top factions in the Stamford-based promotion ‘The Bloodline’.
The Tribal Chief has been carrying his persona for a long time now, and his wrestling gear consists of some important accessories that help him carry his influence. One of the most eye-catching accessories of Roman Reigns is his red necklace.
Fans have always wondered about the necklace and what it means. The red necklace of Roman Reigns is known as ‘Ula Fala’ and is actually made of fruit seeds strung together. The seeds are taken from the fruit of the Pandanus tree and painted red for ornamentation. The ‘Ula Fala’ is worn by the Samoan high chiefs on important occasions; therefore, Reigns wears it only at premium live events.
Roman has always tried to represent his culture proudly in WWE, and fans have acknowledged it. He is the Head of the Table and leads his Samoan cousins, Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso. The trio has been dominating the ring for a long time and represents the Samoan tribal culture with their wrestling gear.
The meaning behind Roman Reigns tattoos
Roman Reigns has inked his body with special tattoos to represent his Samoan tribal heritage. Roman has a beautiful and massive tattoo on his right shoulder, which is a ‘Samoan Tribal Art’. He has updated it from time to time.
Roman also has a turtle tattoo on his right arm, which symbolizes his daughter Joelle. He shares a special bond with his daughter, and this tattoo is dedicated to it. The tattoo on his right arm, from shoulder to wrist, also resembles the victory of a warrior.
His tattoos were done by the famous Samoan tattoo expert, Mike Fotutoa. Roman Reigns also has a big back tattoo that looks like an impressive piece of art. He got it in 2020 after his victory against The Undertaker at WrestleMania.
