So it appeared last December, and the actor claims that there was no “good representation in the media”, so he refused to show it to the world himself. It certainly made everyone “react”, but there are some reactions out there that you just had to take note of.
Ben Affleck’s ex-girlfriends Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Lopez both had one or two things to say about Ben Affleck’s tattoo.
In an issue of Vanity Fair, the actress made a fitting comment when asked about Ben Affleck’s tattoo: “Do you know what we would say about that in my hometown? Bless his heart. A phoenix rising from the ashes. Am I the ashes in this scenario? I take offense to that. I refuse to be the ashes. She doesn’t want credit for what appears to be a sign of his midlife crisis.
Jennifer Lopez on the other hand dropped every form of subtlety and told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Life: “It’s horrible! I mean, I would tell him that. I would tell him, “What are you doing? It has too many colors. His tattoos always had too many colors. They shouldn’t be that colorful. Do you know what I mean? They should be like, “cooler.
We’re beginning to understand where the actor came from when he said there was no “good representation in the media.” Well, in a shocking twist, Ben revealed some surprising news about his epic tattoo in an interview with Extra to promote Batman vs.
The photo that everyone saw was taken on the set of his film Live By Night, and the tattoo is fake and was made especially for this film. Well, if it is indeed a fake, then there are two Jennies out there who need to retract or restructure their statements.
Ben thinks he is a tattoo artist, there are some we can see and others we can’t see (wink), so here is a quick look through the ones we can see, Ben, reserves the right to name the others if he is ready. On his right bicep, he has a barbed wire with playing cards, he also has an upside-down cross with a diamond and Ace of Spades cards with a cross on his left arm.
We’re not done yet, he also has a mysterious tattoo with ‘OV’ on his shoulder blade, MOH NON-TE written above it, and TA OR below. The general public has no idea what they mean. We assume that the last tattoo should be “unseen”, he has a dolphin dyed with black ink on his right waist.
