Please come with us on a journey to yesteryear, if you will. Remember Ben Affleck lounging on a yacht, wearing a white tank top, and casually untying Jennifer Lopez's string bikini. Guys, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the music video for "Jenny from the Block."

Said video was an opportunity for Ben to show off his collection of arm tattoos, which apparently Jen totally hated—much like she hates the massive phoenix back tattoo he had inked in the wake of his separation from Jennifer Garner.
