As if his performance as Batman or the Justice League box office return wasn’t bad enough for Ben Affleck, now everyone is laughing at his garbage back tattoo that was photographed while the actor was on the beach.
The Oscar-winning actor was recently hanging out shirtless on a Hawaiian beach, and let’s just say that the only reason anyone is mentioning this is because the focus was on his, what we think is a bird, tattoo on his back. The tattoo could also be a phoenix. Regardless, it looks like it was colored in by a toddler using his box of 200 crayons.
Have a look:
Next time you’re feeling sad, remember that you’re not Ben Affleck so you (probably) don’t have a tattoo so big and so ugly and so universally ridiculed that you had to lie and say it was only temporary and just for a movie when it is so clearly not.

But here is where it gets sad: a few years ago Affleck told Mario Lopez that the tattoo was just for a movie and it was a fake.
“[It’s] fake for a movie,” Affleck said. “I actually do have a number of tattoos but I try to have them in places where you don’t have to do a lot of cover up they get sort of addictive, tattoos, after awhile.” That was a few years ago…it’s clearly not fake.

And it gets worse for Affleck, as a while back his ex, Jennifer Lopez said this about this back tat on Watch What Happens Live:
“It’s awful! What are you doing? His tattoos always have too many colors, they shouldn’t be so colorful. They should be cooler.”
Man, Affleck is getting hit left and right. So let’s keep the fun going by checking out the most hilarious responses to his very real back tat:

Ben Affleck’s back tattoo is, and I’m saying this without hyperbole, one of the funniest goddamn things I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Holy moly. What a wonderful gift to all of us this is. Truly a great day to be alive because of this obscenely dumb tattoo. (via @people) pic.twitter.com/8LtvmF1Z5h

Even from a technical standpoint, it’s a shit tattoo. Lines are terrible, color saturation is trash….he’s worth something like $75 mill, he could find a decent artist? That’s the real question.

For a millionaire who can afford the best of the best artist to do his ink….yes, it’s bad. I knew a CNA at a nursing home making $10/hr who had better ink than this.

Look, Affleck is a talented guy, but man, perhaps he’s not the best at choosing tattoo artists. But hey, by tomorrow we’ll forget about this and Affleck can go back to enjoying that kid’s drawing on his back — no harm, no foul.
