Ben Affleck Got ROASTED On Twitter For Having A Big Ugly Bird Tattooed On His Back
Source - Almost two years after claiming his massive back tattoo was fake and something he only got “for a movie,” Ben Affleck was spotted showing off the ink while shirtless in Hawaii.
Affleck, 45, was photographed during a training session alongside Charlie Hunnam, Oscar Isaac and Garrett Hedlund as the costars prepared for their upcoming film Triple Frontier.
The back piece, which is a full color picture of a phoenix taking flight, completely takes up Affleck’s back.
Listen, I’m not going to sit here and pass judgment on Ben for having a mythical bird of prey tattooed on his back. I’m all for expressing yourself in whatever way you see fit. Even if it means permanently marking your body with a comically large rainbow falcon. Besides, me saying anything would be the pot calling the kettle black considering the monstrosity I have on my left shoulder. HOWEVA, I do believe that if you are going to get a tattoo you need to own it. Doesn’t matter how bad it is, you can’t claim it’s joke then show up two years later with the same thing. Not only will you get roasted, the internet will react. Negatively.
All he had to do was double down and say that it was cool and everyone would’ve believed him. Gwyneth Paltrow named her daughter Apple and people ate it up because she was confident. Why would this be any different? Fake it till you make it, Ben.
All that said, I am little confused by the bird. Especially considering he’s a Boston guy and not a seventy-two year old Yakuza crime boss. If you’re Irish and from Massachusetts you get either a clover or a family crest. Those are the rules. I’d tell him to laser it off but it looks too big. Oh well, it must be big relief not to have to hide it anymore. I wouldn’t be surprised if he started getting more now that the cats out of the bag. They say that you start to get addicted after your first. That’s what happened to Steve-0. Hopefully Ben doesn’t go down the same road.
