Jessica Alba was spotted out at the playground with her kids – sporting a giant tattoo on her arm.

Some wondered if Jessica’s ink was for real or if it was just an April Fool’s joke.

Turns out Alba has a fake tattoo – a temporary tat for a new film called A.C.O.D.

Alba and her girls, Honor, 3, and Haven, 7 months, enjoyed a day out at a Beverly Hills playground when Jessica was snapped with the massive arm tattoo.

Alba will co-star in the comedy A.C.O.D. and a source tells Us magazine, “A local tattoo artist in Atlanta did it on her. Jessica thinks it’s pretty tough.”

Jane Lynch co-stars.
