Affleck spotted with tattoo on back


When actor Ben Affleck stepped out in his first sighting here since announcing his split from wife Jennifer Garner last month, he wasn't wearing a wedding ring, but photographs of him reveal what appears to be new tattoo on his lower back. 

Whether it's a temporary tattoo or a body art that he's had for a long time isn't clear. 

When he was spotted on Sunday, the 42-year-old had a dolphin on his right hip, covering up the name of his high-school sweetheart. He has been seen with barbed wire across his right bicep, a large design featuring a fish and a skull and crossbones on his right arm and some initials inscribed on his shoulder blade, reports people.com.

He has spoken in the past about his tattoos, some of which he got when he was still a teenager. 

"I was young. It was fun and cool. I'm sorry now, but it is a good lesson in decisions that have important and long repercussions," Affleck said in 2000.
