5 original Avengers stars got matching tattoos, 1 backed out. See pics

Five original Avengers stars - Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth and Jeremy Renner - got matching tattoos to celebrate the success of Avengers: Infinity War. The only one who didn’t was Mark Ruffalo, a fact that Downey Jr pointedly mentioned in an interview to Entertainment Weekly.

“It was (Scarlett) Johansson’s idea, and she and (Chris) Evans did it in New York,” Downey Jr said. “Then, their New York guy, Josh Lord, who is amazing, flew out to LA, he did me, did (Jeremy) Renner, and then we just bullied (Chris) Hemsworth into doing it, and he got it.”

The Iron Man star also said that the actors contributed to their own tattoos by drawing lines, which Scarlett Johansson butchered. “Each one of us drew a line on the artist with his own tattoo gun and it was a total massacre. Each of us contributed to giving the tattoo artist the sixth tattoo that he designed for us. By the way, he’s got another one on him that Scarlett did, which is beautiful, which is crazy, because the line she drew on him, which was just supposed to be a straight line, looked like a lightning bolt. It was a mess,” he said.

Downey Jr and Renner took to Instagram to share videos of their new body art.The artist, Joshua Lord, also shared a group image with everyone, along with a caption, “Oh man!!! I can finally post this!!! It’s revealed by the man himself! Avengers Assemble!!! Thank you all for the best time ever.” The stars also contributed to giving Lord the same tattoo.

Infinity War on Tuesday became the highest grossing Hollywood movie in India, with a gross of over Rs 246 crore, eclipsing fellow Disney movie, The Jungle Book.
