PICS: Folks are having a hard time dealing with Ben Affleck’s rather large and intense back tattoo

That is a serious amount of ink.

Pictures of Ben Affleck at the beach have become to talk of Twitter, and not because the swole Batman is keeping up the workout routine, but because of his new back-based artwork.

The Justice League actor was pictured with a large phoenix tattoo spread across his back and people are asking a lot of questions.

The questions being asked are mostly because two years ago, when Ben was first spotted with the tattoo, he claimed it was fake and simply for a movie role.

However, fans haven’t forgotten and are now very, very confused.

Is it real? Is he still wearing a fake tattoo?

And it’s not just the general public who have an opinion on Ben’s ink, as his ex Jennifer Garner also had something to say.

“You know what we would say in my hometown about that? ‘Bless his heart. A phoenix rising from the ashes,” she told Vanity Fair.

“Am I the ashes in this scenario? I take umbrage. I refuse to be the ashes.”
