Phoenix Suns poke fun at Ben Affleck's garish back tattoo
Getting a tattoo can be a painful process, but Ben Affleck has endured a different type of pain after he got a huge phoenix tattooed on his back a few months ago. It seems like everyone -- ranging from exes Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Lopez to Hollywood critics to average people on social media -- has been poking fun at the new tattoo.

The NBA's Phoenix Suns were the latest to join in on the party as they took to Twitter Wednesday with an alternate suggestion for Affleck's phoenix tattoo.

It's a nice play on the pheonix concept. The Suns' suggestion comes days after J. Lo -- who dated Affleck from 2002-2004 -- called the tattoo "awful" and complained it had "too many colors" on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live.
If the Suns are trying to recruit Affleck as a fan, they might have some trouble in that department. Affleck is well-known for being a diehard Boston sports fan.
