Justin Timberlake got (temporarily) inked up for his new movie, Palmer.

On Wednesday, the actor and singer, 39, shared a behind-the-scenes clip on Instagram of himself getting a fake tattoo for the Apple TV+ film, which debuts on Friday.

In the footage, Timberlake enthusiastically dances to music dressed in a white tank-top and dark pants as he gets a massive tiger holding a football inked onto his right bicep.

"Getting a fake tattoo takes longer than you'd think. BTS #PALMER - coming out this Friday 🙌🏻," he captioned the post, which also included a full photo of the fake ink.

Many of Timberlake's followers commented on his post and reacted to the tattoo, including Pink's husband Carey Hart, who wrote, "damn, getting that half sleeve on!! 😂😂."
