Jessica Alba was seen sporting a large tattoo yesterday leading to speculation she got permanently inked.

But the 30-year-old mother-of-two was just displaying the new body art she got for her upcoming movie role.

The actress went to the playground with daughters Honor, three, and Haven, seven months in Beverly Hills yesterday where the ink was spotted.

She displayed a trio of roses on her left arm which covered most of her bicep.

But her rep told Us Weekly that the edgy designs are for her new film A.C.O.D.

"A local tattoo artist in Atlanta did it on her," a source told the publication. "Jessica thinks it's pretty tough."

The temporary designs will be seen in the film where she stars alongside Jane Lynch, Adam Scott and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

Jessica does however have some permanent tattoos. She has a Sanskrit etching with the word "Padma" which means lotus flower on her wrist, a daisy flower and ladybug on the back of her neck and a bow on her tailbone.
