Affleck claimed at the time that it was for a role but eventually admitted it was permanent.
“It represents something very important to me. It’s meaningful to me,” he said in 2019. “I like it. It’s something that I sort of kept private, I wasn’t doing photo shoots or whatever. I love my tattoo. I’m very happy with it.”

“I’m in such a great place, kids are healthy, life is good. So whatever it took for me to get to this place, I’m grateful for.”
