Justin Theroux Showed Off His Huge Back Tat At Vulture Fest

It's no secret that Justin Theroux is one helluva hunk. We love seeing him anytime in any capacity, but when he takes his shirt off it takes the experience to a whole new level.

During a live recording of Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness at this year's Vulture Fest in NYC, hosted by the beloved Queer Eye cast member, Justin was asked by someone in the audience about a back tattoo that's been seen around town when he's out going for a run or changing in front of his open window (but that's not a secret I'm willing to share yet).

Like his friend Ben Affleck, Justin has a huge tattoo of a rat on the upper part of his back - a "rat tat", if you will. If you haven't yet seen it, check out its work in The Leftovers:

"So I had two dogs, both rescues, pit bulls, pit bull mix, and when they died, I dedicated half my back to one and half of my back to the other," he explained. "So, it’s a picture of a rat, because my dog used to kill rats in Washington Square Park, which is not fun. It was horrible. She was really good at it. I mean, it’s doing a service to New York also. Oh, and then a pigeon. A New York pigeon and a rat."

Take it from someone who has seen many pics of both - Justin's tat is exceptionally better than Ben Affleck's. It also helps that it's on a hotter body too, I guess.

And the story behind it...
