IT’S real! Ben Affleck has shown off some major new body art on the set of his upcoming film, Live By Night.

A gap in the back of his hospital gown revealed a large tattoo of a phoenix taking flight which covered the entirety of his back.

Both People magazine and UsWeekly report that the tattoo is the real deal, with reporters first spotting glimpses of it back in July.

The phoenix is a mythological creature and a symbol of rebirth and reinvention.

But the ink wasn’t the only shocking look the actor sported that day.

The Batman v Superman star looked like a bloody mess on the set of the flick, with several bruises scattered on his arms and face most prominently.

Before wrapping for the day, the Oscar winner also donned a facial mask to protect his dinged-up schnoz.

Cast mate Sienna Miller was also seen on set, albeit looking a little more glam.

Affleck and ex-wife Garner, 43, have both been burying themselves in work after announcing their divorce in June.

While the actress shot Miracles From Heaven in Atlanta earlier this year, the father of three has several films in production, including the highly anticipated Justice League.
