Have you ever gotten inked for something you truly love or believe in? Kind of a crazy idea isn’t it? It becomes crazier, when you know the permanence of your tattoo and the fact that’s it’s going to stay with you forever!

The original Avengers did something as bizarre and exciting and it’s really making us question the finality of the Avenger franchise! The 5 original Avengers got matching tattoos to celebrate the cinematic event of the decade- ‘Avengers: Infinity War’, which is a remarkable culmination of 18 films, over the span of 10 years in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Heading the tattooed bunch was Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), as it was totally her idea and she roped in Chris Evans (Captain America), to get inked in New York, by a very successful tattoo artist Josh Lord. After these two got their tats done, they requested Lord to fly to LA, so the rest of the motley crew could get the same tattoo, by the same tattoo artist! That’s when Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) got their tattoos done too. The only one who was missing from the bunch was Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner AKA Hulk) ‘ços, you know body ink is not very ‘Hulk’ like!

Wait, it doesn’t end there though! Guess what these tattooed junkies did right after they got their tattoos? To make this a memorable event and thank the ink-lord, the originals each drew a line on the tattoo artist, with the same tattoo gun that was used on them, creating a complete massacre on the artists body and of course thanking him for inking them so beautifully! Oh wait, I completely forgot to tell you what they got though! They each got the Avengers logo with the number ‘6’ entwined into it, to represent the original 6 members, as body ink! I mean, it’s pretty obvious and also makes us question the fate of the next Avengers movie!

“Five of the original six Avengers got a tattoo and the sixth was the tattoo artist, who gave it to five of us, the one who opted out being Mark Ruffalo.

It was (Scarlett) Johansson’s idea, and she and (Chris) Evans did it in New York. 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.

And 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.” – Robert Downey Jr. ( as told to a popular entertainment publication).

Despite the crooked lightning bolt Scarlett tattooed on Lord, I am sure the bunch had a ball and I really wish we could witness them all getting inked to see who really flinches with pain and who’s nonchalant about it! I also hope we get to see the final tat the Avengers gave Josh Lord, because apparently it was truly a ‘massacre’ and we love massacres, don’t we?

But, did you know, this isn’t the first time a successful movie franchise team is getting tattooed together. This happened way back in 2001 as well, when the actors who played the 9 members of The Fellowship from ‘Lord of the Rings’, celebrated the end of a fantastic trilogy by getting matching tattoos! Well, everyone except John Rhys Davies (Gimli). They all got the number ‘9’ in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Elvish Tengwar script and I am sure it looked beautiful!

Anyway, we’re super excited to see what’s next in the Marvel Universe and glad to know these guys know how to loosen up and have a lot of fun, despite the tragic end they all were a part of, in Infinity War!
