Here’s the thing about tattoos, they’re totally subjective.
What one person considers beautiful ink, another person might consider prison yard scribble. That said, Ben Affleck’s back tattoo is without a doubt the ugliest ink we’ve ever seen. It’s not only huge and cliche, but it’s also poorly executed.
The Internet most definitely shares in that sentiment, as Affleck has been getting roasted beyond belief all over Twitter. Typically, we don’t condone this sort of trolling, but, hey! You’ve got to read some of these descriptions; they’re too damn funny to pass up.
Don’t get us wrong, Ben Affleck is both a handsome and talented man, we mean, come on, you don’t land both Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Garner by being a complete lemon, but, yikes. That ink is just not OK.
The most confusing element of the tattoo is that Affleck previously stated it was fake. In an interview with Mario Lopez a couple of years back, he explained, “[It’s] fake for a movie. 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.”
Well, there you have it, Affleck is so ashamed of his rainbow phoenix that he himself can’t accept the reality that it’s on his back for life.
