The true story behind Ben Affleck’s mysterious back tattoo is coming to light.
Nearly two years after claiming the enormous ink was fake and something he only got “for a movie,” the Justice League star, 45, was recently spotted showing off the art while shirtless in Hawaii.
The piece, a colorful image of a phoenix rising from the ashes, covers Affleck’s back entire back from his waist to his shoulders.
A source previously told People that he had the tattoo done after his split from Jennifer Garner in 2015 while he was still living in a guest house on the family’s Los Angeles compound.
