The original 'Avengers' stars got matching tattoos to celebrate the release of the movie
Redeem now - Robert Downey Jr. recently received a special "Avengers"-themed tattoo.
- It shows the letter "A" combined with the number four. Downey Jr. will be in the fourth "Avengers" movie next summer.
- Downey Jr. wasn't the only Avenger to get the tattoo.
- The actor confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that five of the original "Avengers" actors received the ink to celebrate the release of "Infinity War."
- Mark Ruffalo is the only one who didn't get the tattoo.
Robert Downey Jr. has been a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe for a decade starting with 2008's "Iron Man," and now he has the ink to remember it forever.
Downey Jr. got an "Avengers"-themed tattoo on his right arm to celebrate the release of the new movie. The "Avengers: Infinity War" actor shared a few photos and videos from behind-the-scenes on Instagram.
The tattoo itself shows an Avengers letter "A." When turned, it shows the number four with an arrow going through it. The title for the fourth "Avengers" movie has not been revealed yet, but Comicbook.com was told "Avengers: Forever" is the closest guess the directors have seen.
Here's a good look at it:
Downey Jr. wasn't the only one to get the cool "Avengers" ink.
"Five of the original six Avengers got a tattoo," Robert Downey Jr. told Entertainment Weekly. "The sixth was the tattoo artist, who gave it to five of us, the one who opted out being Mark Ruffalo."
So it's fitting the number six sits in the center of the tattoo. It's also the number of Avengers who appeared in the original 2012 film: Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Captain America, Thor, and the Hulk.
The Iron Man actor shared a photo of himself alongside "Avengers" actors Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, and East Side Ink tattoo artist Joshua Lord who all received tattoos.
Downey Jr. thanked Lord for the tattoos "on behalf of all of us." According to the actor, the tattoo was Johansson's idea.
The only person missing from the photo who received a tattoo is Chris Evans who plays Steve Rogers/Captain America.
Members of the cast, including Downey Jr. and Renner, tattooed Lord with the same Avengers ink. According to Lord, cast members all did a part of his tattoo.
Although Evans didn't show off his own ink, he did share a video tattooing Lord.
—Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) May 8, 2018"Brave man to allow all the @avengers the opportunity to ink @joshualord what a killer day," wrote Renner on Instagram.
The "Avengers" gang aren't the first crew to get a tattoo to remember a movie or TV role.
"Breaking Bad" leading men Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul both got tattoos based on the award-winning drama. And the "Suicide Squad" cast tattooed each other.
