The premiere of the Netflix thriller “Animals,” in which Ben Affleck appears as a mayoral candidate, has once again brought his appearance to the forefront — and not just the wrinkles he so masterfully hid under his beard. Paparazzi, who caught the actor on set, noticed that the familiar colorful phoenix on his lower back now looks noticeably darker: the bright feathers seem to have been covered with black pigment. For those who follow Hollywood tattoo culture, this is not a sensation, but a logical stage: Affleck’s body art has long turned into a living document that grows, ages, and is redrawn along with his life.
