Ben’s back tat! It’s been a tumultuous year for Ben Affleck. While he awaits the arrival of his highly anticipated film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, he’s also been dealing with a divorce from his wife of 10 years, Jennifer Garner. Now it looks like the Oscar winner, 43, has made a permanent change in his life.

Affleck has been spotted sporting an enormous new back tattoo. The colorful ink covers the entirety of his back and features what appears to be a phoenix with its wings spread wide across his shoulder blades.

A full shot of the new tattoo was captured by photographers on Tuesday, Dec. 8, while Affleck was working on the Los Angeles set of his upcoming film Live by Night, costarring Sienna Miller, Zoe Saldana, and Scott Eastwood. And the telling body art — the phoenix, of course, is a mythological creature and a symbol of rebirth and reinvention — is the real deal, a source confirms to Us Weekly.
