Ryan's New Tattoo

Ryan Phillippe was spotted leaving Gym on Nemo in West Hollywood today, and the actor showed off some new ink.

At first glance it looked like a piece of a bald eagle, perhaps a nod to his soldier character in his upcoming war drama Stop Loss, however, at closer inspection the tatt is obviously that of a phoenix rising from the ashes.

The 33-year-old actor had been quoted saying he was physically distraught after his divorce from ex-wife Reese Witherspoon. Could the new ink symbolize him finding strength after reaching rock bottom?
